So, my experience in LLD thus far in Torment:
|
Started PvP earlier today for the first time, bought a bunch of stuff, used some of my old gear, spent maybe 10c, most on buying gems, and made a puncture ranger, figured it would be pretty easy to make and could do okay. Got to rank 9 before I decided to stop for the day and make this post.
Maybe its the late-in-the-day time, but, I've been EXTREMELY disappointed that 3v3 and 6v6 never pops and that I cant even access Sarn Arena to do my daily, so I've had to grudgingly do 1v1s. I'm also annoyed that all the main pvp events will be on Standard with the cesspit of legacy hybrid roll weapons, no thank you I will never PvP on standard. Thus far my competition has been: 90% flicker strike 6% other bow builds 2% firestormers with traps. 1% this one EK trap guy 1% this one crazy puncture trap guy that 1 shots me if I step on the trap. Its kind of annoying to go against flicker strike almost every match, but w/e. It's mostly a gear match up as I have been able to kill most of them. Though, this one flicker guy could kill me in one multi-strike-flicker-heavy strike combo, I lost that one HARD. I have 0 clue what happened with that puncture trap guy, at first I didn't even know it was puncture trap since I died so quick. I only figured it out after the 2nd round when I got an hp flask off in time and recognized the bleed sound. The damage on that thing is absolutely insane and I have 0 clue as to why, the trap gem doesn't add that much damage. Dysnc, oh my god dysnc, it is SO GOD DAMN bad in PvP holy shit. You all think its bad in PvE? It doesn't even hold a candle. Getting stunned across the screen by heavy strike, bear traps leaping from where I threw them to hit someone, my own bear traps being thrown from where my guy is not at on my screen... ect... I also don't like you being able to be paired with the same exact guy multiple times in a row. I was against this flicker guy with horrific gear (he could maybe bring me down to 75% of my max hp in one combo) 5 or so times in a row. I don't think he even knew what blink arrow was since he kept saying I was lagging across the screen. I felt really bad for him, there is 0 fun being stomped again and again by the same guy. Also don't like that we can't animate guardian as a PvP only character. My 2 cents. Last edited by Waves_blade on Dec 20, 2014, 1:52:11 AM

trap gem + point blank puncture does alot of dps, also tornado shot with lmp and this combo
|

" Seriously? That works? It's not even a projectile at that point, its a trap... and wait, does point blank + tornado shot work from where YOU shoot or where the arrows are created from once it hits? TBH, it sounds so silly abuse-able I might have to pick it up myself. I wouldn't even have to change my build. Hit em with a bear trap, drop a puncture trap, gg. |

" It's still a projectile since the trap fires out the puncture "arrow". |
