touch of death:(wo0t,hex,pbr,slow wo0t

hmmm yeap nice skills but u cant say that SK can take down a Destro... i never witnessed something like this, on contraire i killed many SK, they all did the same thing they hit me so the cubics would do their thing, and then they start running arround like any DE, not miuch of a strategy comsidering the fact they had to come near me sometimes and then i just STUN+hit+hit+hit+hit and then stun+hit+hit+hit ... with SK u can even use rage anytime something u cant do with paladin because if u used rage and he goes in his damn angelic icon ur in trouble he could kill u easily

Well, in hellbound the balance is pretty much tipped between tanks and other classes. Sk has pain of shilen and touch of shilen (now it's no use minusing your hp from the begining), da has seed of revenge and insane crusher, the pala has his phoenix spirit, and the tk has finally been balanced, he now has not only eva's will, but also touch of eva.

Especially vs mages, they now have anti magic armor.

and this is your mistake, the frenzy-zelot strategy ensures your death. why? simple: with 1,5k hp left you are running after sk with useless franzy being draing, slowed and so on all the time. no inteligent SK will rsk and fight with frienzied destro. he is faster

just my opinion, worked so far

well battle roar... increases hp
yes the poisoning goes into effect but u have bandage for bleed, and the SK has to come near u sometimes u simply stun him, imgine this frenzy+zealot+rage i tell u the SK will die before stun where out, he wont have time to even use UD

well my strategy was like this, as u know the destro has 3 stun aatacks, even though one is low lvl, i just do the following i wait while the SK runs his head off arround me i hit him enough to get his cp down, and when hp is low enough i just stun him, i dont go frenzy first but after, with 3 stun attacks he wont get far, so i just say GF and he says GG back ohh yes and this is very important when fighting SK dont stun him if u dont go in frenzy because u run out of mana and u die

wrong.. sk has the only uncurable poison ingame:P

has the what? i said bandarge for bleeding, i didnt say cure poison or smt like that

ohh you mean the lightning and anchor thing hmm yeah, but thats kind of a low landing skill, or what do u mean? srry i played sk but i quit when i reached lvl 67

wo0t sry missunderstood u
btw poisoning still is very tricky

I think Godsend ment posion caused by Viper Cubic which cannot be cured. and than again it all comes down to luck. when facing a destro with 3 stun skills i wear boss jew+maj set which connected witch dyes for con gives me about 80% stun resist so it won't land so often even thou it has so high landing rate, and remembre that destro is one of the easiest class to cast debuff on. slow lands like hell... and than again --> all comes to luck ^^

right right:)

ur talking about to many things... imagine changing dies after every pvp, because the way i see it if u go -str or-dex on sk u wont do shit in farming, u would have to change dies 8 times a day... thas the beauty of SK the str and dex he has the best tank dmg

True, but if you keep that tank damage you lose some things. On sk i use like on any tank, +5 con -5 str. I feel sorry to do so, but i have to. You're just too sensible to stun.
And yes, you have the bandage skill, but the poison is something else. It's not curable. And it has a high land rate of .7, not to mention that it lasts 30 seconds which really really hurts. All he's gotta do is get a bow and kite you. The hp wears off quietly. If the round ends, you won, because you inflicted the most damage. But you have to be careful.

i wouldmt do -str or dex on sk, imagine killing mobs after that... embarasing, annoying, pathetic....
