How can I ensure a win vs. mage both 65

[Spawnsage]

Heya guys,


So yea, I have a guildy, a mage, who thinks his arse don't stink. So I have challenged him to duel soon as I hit 65. I have experienced a duel with a 66 mage when I was 59 and nearly won. I simply snared the pet, shadowstepped out of melee range from her multi pet aa till they poofed, stacked 4 dots on her and then stayed outta the way. I lost this duel because I failed to keep track of the pet so snare broke, it found me and owned me.

Now this next mage is a more experienced player than my previous encounter. :unsure: So I have a few questions.

1. At even lvl, can I fear the pet? Is this a good idea if so?
2. How well does "spell: Bounce" work in a duel?
3. what would be a suggested spell line up and casting order?
4. How can I use different environments to my advantage?
5. Does mana skin and that line of DS spells, absorb spell damage as well as melee?
6. Does anyone experienced in pvp have any other suggestions


The loser of this match has to take on the surname "(winners name)ownedme" for a period of one week. I'd would love to see his smug ass tagged that he was owned by me. <_< Any help would be greatly appreciated and enthusiastically recieved.

Sincerely

You can't use fear on the pets post 60 I believe. I have never dueled a lvl 65 mage with a necro but I have beaten a couple with my 65 bst pretty easy so you shouldn't have much problem as a necro. With my bst I just annulled a few times then focused everything I had on the mage. I resisted or partially resisted most of his spells. They have magic and fire based nukes so raise up those resists. You can't use your heal over time spells on players on blue servers so don't waste time on them. And I think you can Can FD off his swarm pets, I"ve seen sk do that or you can have sow and outrun them till they vanish. Mages can't heal themselves so whatever damage you do to them they have to stick with. I'm sure just tapping him down would be your best bet. If he is smart he will use that pesky air pet that can stun up to lvl 70 mobs. But I think you could just send your pet to hold off his if it gets too bothersome.

Send your pet against their pet. Then mujaki them barring they have some nice gear or resist buffs they will be down faster then you. When they swarm pet fd=). Or can always swarm them back.

Have resists like mine.
