Not being a barb dueler myself, I can't go real in depth...most tough barb
duelers I see just run(or teleport) to their target then whirl until they
die. TeleWW is really popular, just keep whirlwind on left click, teleport
on right, tele and immediately come out into a WW, very hard to avoid. Some
use Berserk(it's usually a 1-2 hit kill), and just try to go toe to toe, but
against a melee char like a fury wolf or a zealot, losing all def but your
block can leave you vulnerable, so it's a risk. Against a smiter(to whom def
is irrelevant), berserk can be more useful. Also useful against necros,
because their bone armor can't stop it, whereas it can save him from a
couple hits with WW or frenzy. Most barbs go Sword/Shield, 2 weapon barbs
are still usually WW, but use a Beast+eBotD or Beast+Doom, both of which can
do a lot of damage. Lots of barbs like to pre-buff with Enchant from Demon
Limb for the AR boost, as well.

It mainly works cause it's several hits(usually) in a really short time
span, plus it's hard to hit the barb without getting hit yourself if you're
a melee char.

LOL. You've got a way with words Cal. You certainly have. I'm still
laughing.

My 3 duelists are my smite/charge/bow pally, a hammerdin, and a summon/bone
necro. I also have a FB sorc I could use, but I need to mule her over some
better gear first.

Well, kinda depends on how good the player is, what gear they have, and what
they're dueling. Hammerdin will kill pretty much any melee char unless the
melee char gets lucky or is dueling smart against a hammerdin that isn't.
Enigma hammerdin is even tougher, though they're still at a disadvantage
against ranged attackers. Bone necromancers and wind druids with enigma are
very very powerful as well, especially if they use minions. A decent enigma
windy with summons will kill just about anything except a hammerdin, some
godly geared barbs, and very good sorcs. A bone necro with enigma and a few
summons will kill just about anything but a windy druid and anyone that uses
slow missle. FoH pally can be very dangerous, especially if he has enigma,
but a lot of pro duelers have a stacked resist/absorb setup in stash(4
ptopaz shield, Tgods, Wisp Rings) to counter it, whereas a lot of pubby
duelers do not. Trappers can be tough, especially if they're good with
mindblast, but a lot of them just stand in place surrounded by traps, then
get telekilled or killed from range. Whirlwind assassins can pretty tough if
played right, but hammerdins, barbs, and often lightning javazons will kill
them, smiters do well against them too.

My chars go something like this:
Charge/Smite/Bow pally:Kills most melee chars(shifter druids,
frenzy/conc/berserk barbs, zealots) easy, lightning javazons can go both
ways. I win a lot of the time, but it's usually very close(if I put a CtA on
this guy to give him WCs, I think he will pretty much beat any javazon),
eats bowzons for breakfast, can do well against a lot of sorcs, trappers,
FoHers and hammerdins but will have a hard time beating a good one, almost
no chance against any semi-competent wind druid or bone necro, whirlbarbs
and assassins and other smiters can go either way, really depends on gear
and how good the barb/assn player is. Lately, my victory percentage over
sorcs, trappers, and hammerdins, and even some necros, has greatly
increased...the bow works much better than I'd have expected.

Hammerdin:Kills any melee char, beaten every other hammerdin I've fought,
and kills wind druids. That's really the main reason I duel with him, I
mainly bring him into duel games when there's a windy druid or another
hammerdin being an a.shole and nking or townguarding. He gets put in his
place, then I go back to another char unless someone just really wants to
fight the hammerdin.

Necro:Kills anything but wind druids, some sorcs and trappers, and very
strong enigma barbs. Against another necro it can go either way, but I win
more than I lose.

I'm glad, I just figured I'd post them here as a change of pace, heh.

I do to... it's like getting an ESPN Sports Report:-)) It sounds like he's
got everything Fine Tuned.
