Hi! I'm practically noob to pvp, so would somebody tell me what charachter is most independent? I know assasin is pretty independent, but I think it is too hectic to play as noob, cos the surviving depends on will I or will I not find the right skill hotkey enough fast

. So, is is it perhaps warrior/ paragon using tactics and spear, or warrior/monk using prayers and sword?

p.s. I would also be able to change the track of the game...

Ranger no doubt about it

i could give you a long winded reason why but it really becomes obvious once you learn to play a ranger and explore there skills.

Below is a example of a independent Ranger build.
[skill]Melandru's Shot[/skill]
[skill] Distracting shot[/skill]
[skill] Savage Shot[/skill]
[skill] Apply Poison[/skill]
[skill] Mending Touch[/skill]
[skill] Remove Hex [/skill]
[Skill] Natural Stride [/skill]
[skill] Troll Unguent [/skill]
As you can see Self heal ,remove hex remove condition they can pretty much keep themselves alive.

With melandru's shot they can degen and snare melee. Its remarkably easy to simply run around a melee while degenning him to death.
Using D shot and savage shot you deny any chance for him to heal himself.

Dealing with casters is similar but its important to use the 2 interrupts available. If you faced a ele using immolate as a spamable dmg you would then D shot this immoliate giving you 23 seconds of non immolate time. You would then use Savage shot on his other less spamable skills.

Hope i have helped.

except, mend condition isnt self targetable and is pointless on a ranger.

[mending touch] on the other hand..............

If you're using that build in Random Arenas, I would take out [remove hex] and replace it with [Resurrection Signet]

Fixed. Counters are well known.
