Chatting with Top Duelers in D2R | DFC

[@yorkshirelad3133]

this is so refreshing coooley, all the players you interviewed are so humble, 10/10 mate thanks a bunch for the video 👍 keep em coming ❤️

[@Joshwaheazo]

Of course they are they play a 20 year old game they're not exactly famous celebrities 🤭.

[@blech71]

This was awesome of you to get these guys to meet up and talk shop! Thanks and great job my dood!

[@rmbeavers]

Wow what a great video for someone who’s venturing back into PvP after 15 years (I remember bowazons and ww barbs being top tier with no enigma). Anyways, is there a website or something that has a good list for matchups between characters and possibly play style advice? More importantly, rules for proper honorable duels? Like no health but mana pots allowed, the restraints for specific classes, etc?

[@mordiez-]

Damn pvp is a shadow of what it used to be.

[@ryanp56]

Can you link to the rules?

[@Maty514]

Love how it goes from Bui's 100k fg sin to Maty's welfare sin 🤣 love your work brother, good stuff 😀

[@Mortalslayer132]

Welfare sin that smashes everyone though so...

[@gaberealrc7355]

Quick breeze of the gear slow down cant see anything

[@Mortalslayer132]

@@gaberealrc7355 you can slow down the video using the play speed button when he is showing gear (found in the video settings). I find it helpful

[@jaychyl]

I have a question about the druid. Dude has 17fcr amu. Thus he hits 162fcr (163 fcr is needed for next breakpoint). what am I missing here? Some glitch? He seems to teleport fast.

[@idagskaldetjobbes442]

late reply, but that was 99 fc speed, so basicly overcapping hella on fc, but since he (i assume) specced from ring stats, he cant swap it out, to ex. a soj, and for some reason i cant understand for the life of me, he said "gloves for cold res" which really is useless vs a nec, he could also swap gloves out for ex. frosties for bigger mana pool, or even belt for damage to mana, or even hoto, some strange decisionmaking going on there, but hey, to each theyre own:>

[@Diogo7442]

​I use 163% fcr - 99% fhr vs necros that build was more for vs ghost and also the start of d2r so we were limited on what we were finding now ofc i have a 20% fcr amulet. Pelt was swapped out for a gg circlet.

[@forsurejigga]

Bui pays 40% to win though.

[@nicholaspaqu7439]

Pays 40%?

[@7PHILIPP_]

First of all great video! Thank you! One question: How do I get into duelling in d2r? I already have a char but I dont know where/how to find people to play with/against.

[@pepederien5096]

Thanks Coooley as well as Bui, SYNCHED, DIOWIND, and Eleet for the highlights. It's very intimating seeing some cards of those top tier PvP guys. And I never thought that either a druid or a necro can be so savage in a duel. ;) Two of my favorite classes.

[@Cornholers]

There are people who are really good then u got these nut balls 🤣

[@TehWit]

Thanks for interviewing all these very humble and experienced players. Great content! Thanks all who participated in the making of this interesting piece of history :)

[@lvl99dust]

Me and Bui used to go back and forth on LOD all the time. He was on my f list for quite some time. My mage paladin and necro only chars I could even come close going toe to toe with his sins Bui/Oni...he's amongst the Legends of d2. 💯

4v4 team duel

[@nadavhalevi9365]

No offically organized tournaments, no match making systems, no clear rules of what you're allowed to do - Yet, all of the passion in the world and the desire to learn and do better. Modern games, take note.

[@RAMPAGE47]

Imagine spending thousands of dollars on JSP just to duel.

[@BillDaBigChief]

That necro at the end was the only player I was impressed by. Very knowledgeable and every base totally covered. Also didn't pretend to have any "secrets", there are no secrets left in this game.

[@Odinoian]

YOOO! Juicy video, Coooley! I dig the actually kinda pro commentator action during the duels! Wow - standing ovation! And I just love watching duels like this. Why isn't this an esport? Maybe a little bit hard to film both players without it being confusing to watch lol. 😂 Thanks to the players for sharing insight. Very happy to see skills being upheld!

[@IZUAL87D2Rmf]

Nice dude🐮👍

[@wojciechstepien261]

What a humble guests :) Greetings! Respect to Bui for this niche build, I played myself as pvp kicker for last ladder on LoD just bedore d2r! It was so amazing vs casters especially! Coooley you run Venom on kicker so you need to skip psn scs cuz you will ruin it otherwise :D I guess Bui has 2x 6venom +10/-10 psn claws for prebuff, you can get really insane prebuff for kicker together with rbfed circ. Main hand is probably 40ias fools 2x Um GT with some nice mods. Of course I can only guess but I had similar and it was fitting perfectly :D Fingers crossed!

[@TopSecretGG]

Cooley sheding some light on whats haPvPing! Thanks!

[@leylol6655]

not one of those players is top lol

[@justinhildebrand1515]

Ill get into pvp sooner or later got my necro kind of set up just need lifers basically ill probably start towards the end of season 1 of ladder i used to pvp non stop back in the day

[@ElCapitanDudeMan]

I used to duel with Rizal and AZN BUI. Love LOD and I wish D2R hadn’t smoked ghost/barb sins. Maybe they fix it some day.

[@KevinCarlino]

This was an awesome video, please, please, please do more of these. Would love to see similar treatment to other builds/classes; so cool to see the gear/swaps and hear the gameplay strategy.

[@thatsnotmyjesus]

Truly awesome content! Thank you! When people talk about PvP being the real endgame I never really knew the depth of build and gear planning. Keep up the great work!

[@mrpotato4441]

Best D2 content on KZbin. Going PVP with 2.4. Big Dick Crossbow Barb.

[@rileylumley4805]

So, I don't understand why everyone keeps opening their stats and skills windows mid duel. What is this doing for them?

[@jukappa]

It shifts the screen either left or right (depending on which menu is opened) allowing the player to see further in that direction. You’ll notice they will bring their mouse all the way to the edge when doing so hoping they will get a name lock.

[@brosephbroheim6428]

Thank you guys for painting PvP in a positive light. Pub duels were a staple of my childhood. Never had many great items but it was still fun even with plain skillers and life charms with Mf gear.

[@letsfindout6587]

Right D2 was the best game ever for pc Clam TC here

[@danielmiller9012]

D2 is a ton of fun if u have disposable income and can get top builds

[@brosephbroheim6428]

@@danielmiller9012 Can still afford plenty of 7/10 items by just playing the game. Not every PvP build needs one of a kind items to function. If average people were still interested in d2 PvP they would be doing it with 25 life skillers, mid-high anni torch, 20 life charms plain. Just enigma hoto arach spirit etc the basic obtainable goods for the avid season resetter that knows to sell everything until the bots are up and running, and wait for price fall. Anybody could get a PvP character selling 4 socket crystal swords and spirit runes - basically garbage - and trading with jsp.

[@stevenwilcox3284]

i used to play on a private server called d2pk. everyone had access to perfect gear so it came down to skill. Honestly, if i had access to any gear i wanted, money or game currency not being a factor, id stomp these guys. id be willing to pit money on it. my BVC vs any class, including any max block casters. ( lots of people will troll and say theyre the best but things change when the playing field is level and gear quality is universally available. id probably have to get used to the changed in the game mechanics such as wsg not working and desynch and ww behaving differently, id be willing to use any character honestly, bone necro was also my other main.) nothing ive seen in this video is very impressive honestly except maybe the mediocre chain locks i saw from a sin. why do you talk about off screen bone spirit chains like their something hard? u go off map to chain bone spirits so theyre invisible to the other player to catch them being stupid and over confidently tele stomping) the necro was actually good though, as walking bone spears are the way to play vs druid for sure

[@MarylandYugioh]

You should do this sort of video for LLD :)

[@MarkMiller304]

Hybrid sins will have full powered traps in the new patch. If they allowed plague to be on claws and fix ww they’ll be super powerful. That’s assuming they actually introduce diminishing returns on stuns rather than full immunity like the have right now.

how is dueling in this game "competitive" its literally blinking around and hoping one of your projectiles lands. seems to be more of a chance than an actual skill. go ahead and hate. but im right.

[@BuckFoeJiden]

Paladin vs Paladin has always been my favorite, but sorc vs sorc can be Hella fun too. Especially with energy shield buffing. Nothing more satisfying than breaking your opponents' ES, putting them into hit recovery and talking them out. Good Assassins rely on mindblast and wake of fire to permastun. A good necro stands no chance against a mediocre assassin. Especially with weapon block and stun from MB. Even the fireblast they throw stunlocks so hard with mindblast that it's almost impossible to get out of without weapon switch glitch. Also, Marvel is still playing? 🤣 🤣 🤣 tell him I said thanks for the ethereal glitched Viper.

[@davidfowler2714]

Slurping that Bud Light!

[@halneufmille]

It would be nice if the game had a bird's eye view of the terrain (just for dueling) so we could watch both players move better. Right now honestly I found some of these duels very confusing to watch.

[@rz1974]

Where is the name locking?

[@mrmrsplinkegaming2426]

You remember me at all Cooley brother? Clan dkg? I used to be top esc ladder and non in d2jsp legit duels. Was #1 barb v barb zon v zon and world tourneys top 3 for many years. Ran dkg tags. My old barb v barb video is out there defending the top spot for like the 1000th time and dude got caught using all Ethereal items on social media video before KZbin lol. Dude record8ng had a map hack on that showed all pkayers gear. And I was up 2-0 then all the sudden this kid comes back and 2-0s me. But looks to be wearing the same gear. It's all was the exact same gear but all Ethereal version without zods and like 40/15 in them instead. So his dsf was extra high lol. He got put on blast live. Was a good time.

[@Christoff070]

This is such an alien world to me. Perfect torches, scs, annis, near-perfect skillers. Id be lucky to find ONE of those charms in 3months of playing. If bots are involved in pvp then its hard to ve interested in it

[@gregw322]

I wish Diablo 1 had kept a PVP community. As a 35 year old I have fond memories of those days and there were some absolute killers almost all of whom made a name for themselves again in PvP in D2. A huge name was hellstreasure both in D1 and D2 PvP back then.

[@xx412xxbluntz8]

Players who payed for all there gear lol.....I'll pvp anyone I'm self made didn't buy anything I found everything I have and I won't even use an enigma ill 1v1 you all day.

[@julz19]

there should be some banned skills like teleport, not really fun to watch. and players can ban classes for the opposing player, so if he knows his opponents "main" he can ban that, or a player can just ban what is meta right now. Will make way for a more diverse "pvp tournament" scene imo.

[@xplat]

More interviews with different build players. Like dealers, barbs, fury druids, low level pvpers etc

[@djlongtool]

This is so cool to watch. I would love to see a video around Dueling on Hardcore around Patch 1.09. I used to do BvB Bezerk Dueling using a Grandfather + .08 Valor and would often duel other Barbs who used Ith Armor which I Believe was the Lionheart Runeword with runes removed and 40/15 Jewels added. Such a wild time and had heaps of fun collecting Max/AR/Life Charms and dueling ahh the memories.
