Visceratuant vs. Whistans for the Block Sorceress 09.07.06
First recommended back in 2001 by Noz, Whistan's Guard has been a staple for non-DR/block sorcs. With the ladder season soon ending, perhaps it is time to make a comparison between an upgraded Visceratuant vs. Whistans.

Zh’s Guide to the PVP Sorceress 08.19.06
The player versus player Energy Shield Sorceress guide has gone through a complete rewrite, incorporating over two years of discoveries and changes.

Sorceress Skill Optimization calculator 08.15.06
For those of you with Microsoft Excel and who wished to get the most possible damage out of a synergy spell when they do not have all the necessary skill points available, for example those who use energy shield, take a look at the following spreadsheet:

Sorceress Skill Optimizations

Thanks to TienJe for developing the first version of the spreadsheet which applied to fireball only.  This version now has several improvements, including supporting all of the sorceresses synergy spells, average damage instead of simply looking at max damage, and further error correction when data fields exceed the number of skills available.

Please e-mail me if you find any problems, or wish to see similar tables developed for other characters.

Eshield Sorceress Effective Hit Points Calculator 07.22.06
For those of you with Microsoft Excel and a desire to understand how energy shield actually works as far as real effective hit points, try the following link:

Sorceress Effective Hit Points Calculator

After entering your basic statistical information, this spreadsheet will calculate your total effective hit points for all six primary types of damage and also calculate how much damage you can take over long period of time, assuming that your energy shield never drops.

It is based on information and formulas for 1.09 located here: http://home2.pacific.net.sg/~xinhuan/hcsorc/hpmana.html and adapted to patch 1.11.

Comments, suggestions, and corrections are more than welcome.

Web page update 06.09.06
Wow, a Web update.  For any of you going through the web site www.d2tables.com that domain name is now expiring.   Update your bookmarks to www.pvpwest.com  as soon as possible since that domain name will continue to be used and renewed.   I have since moved on to Guild wars, pending other problematic developments, but still maintain D2 accounts.  The dueling group Pvpwest is dead, but low level dueling is alive and well and still very active.

Other web sites of mine include:

http://www.starflt.com
http://www.lld101.com
http://www.omegaconn.com
http://wirsz.com

If anyone starts up a legitimate and mannered doing community, this web site would be more than happy to dedicate itself to them. If anyone wishes to submit updated character guides to this web site I will gladly publish them. If someday all the actual hacks and bugs are fixed in Diablo II any time soon, someone please let me know so I can return. Drop me a line.

1.11 Updates 08.22.05
In case you haven't loaded Diablo II in the last month, a new patch actually arrived on time, heralding the event more people were really waiting for:   The end of Ladder Season #2.

PVPWest has been consolidated into a single, useful forum.

New Diablo II 1.11 Items and Runewords

Hellfire Torch Quest Information and Uber Boss Stats

How to run Multiple copies of Dii at once without hacks (Requires Win XP and multiple sets of keys)

Best news of all, no one has any hacks at all for the moment.  Expect this to change in the near future once all the auto aim bots and spam bots return.

And no, the Anya Bug has STILL not been fixed yet.

New PVP Guide 06.25.05
Few more updates to a couple of the PVP guides.

Zh has posted the rough draft for his PVP strategies for the "Orb/ES Sorceress"

The Lightning Sorceress Mini-Guide has also undergone a significant rewrite.

Our hit counter has reached 9000, dueling games are up almost every week, but the PVPWest Forums are just about dead.  Expect a forum move soon, more about this will be announced later.

Tuesday June 14, Dueling Event Screencaps 06.14.05
Great team duels everyone, game lasted from 8pm to after 10pm:

Screencap #1, Screencap #2, Screencap #3.

I'm going to try to dedicate Thursday for PVM events.  Either Ladder or NL rushes, (1-20) leveling, nightmare cows (25-60) or hell baal runs. (60+)  Depending on turnout and events, we'll see if this can become a regular event.

Thursday, June 16 -  8:00pm - 9:00pm PST

Meet in the channel: 'OP PVPWest' right at 8pm before the event begins or whisper *Zhduels (non-ladder) *Zhrush (ladder).

Screencaps 06.13.05
Monday Dueling
Tuesday Dueling
Wednesday Dueling
More Wednesday Dueling
Yet Even More Wednesday Dueling
Yes, some of us are still crafting.  (West, Ladder)
PVP / PVM Events 05.29.05
PVP Games, Rushes, Baal runs and Cow runs now can be announced in a new "PVP/PVM Matchup" forum.  Make sure to announce events in plenty of time beforehand, and let's get a few more duels going.

Dueling Events will be hosted on a continous basis now.   Currently our only scheduled dueling even is set for Wednesdays:

Every Tuesday, 8:00pm - 9:00pm PST

EST: 10pm-11pm
CST: 9pm-10pm
MNT: 8pm-9pm

Join the 'OP PVPWest' and type .GAMES to see the current dueling game and password.

Dueling Events 05.08.05
Dueling Events will be posted in this thread from now on, and occasionally announced on the news page.

Next Scheduled Dueling Event:

Wednesday, May 11rd, 7:00pm - 8:00pm PST

EST: 10pm-11pm
CST: 9pm-10pm
MNT: 8pm-9pm

If you have any suggestions on how to either improve our PVP rules, or organise more events, or just have a suggestion on better times to hold dueling events, let us know in the forums.


Items List 04.23.05
The next project for this website is to compile a comprehensive list of ALL items of ALL types sorted by class.  The idea is to have one single resource that can be used to compare all possible helms, for example, for a character class, without having to pull up seperate lists of Unique Helms, Runeword Helms, Normal/Exceptional/Elite helms, and then look up the number of possible sockets for each ilvl, etc.   In addition, combining the list of possible magic and rare prefixes and suffixes can show possible helms that can drop as well.

See this link for an example of what this would look like.  If you have suggestions on how to improve the format of this list, or want to help compile this list, please reply in this thread.

Next Scheduled Dueling Event:

Wednesday, April 27th, 8:00pm - 9:00pm PST

Dueling Events 04.18.05
Since our membership is still growing, the moderators at PVPWest are going to try to start regular "Dueling Events." What these will be are guarenteed times when the PVP Dueling game (Non-ladder) will be up and running. The first event will be held in a relatively short period of time:

Wednesday, April 20th, 8:00pm - 9:00pm PST

As always, you must be a registered member of the channel to find out the current dueling game name and password. If you are not registered yet, post in the "New Users" Registration forum to get added to the bot, then go to the "OP PVPWEST" channel and type ".games" to see the current game name and password.

Dueling, Guides, and Advertising 04.08.05
PVPWest has officially opened it's doors to the public. Quite a few notices have been posted on popular Dii sites, and hopefully we'll attract enough attention to form a serious community in this aged game.

Channel 'OP Pvpwest' is now in lockdown, and since Blizzard destroyed channels as a viable method of meeting people who are actively playing the game, think of it as basically is a tool to find the current dueling game name and password ".games" and to locate other PVPWest members ".allseen".

A few new guides have also been recently added: The Professor's PVP Liberator Full Guide and Stoutwood's PVP Zealot Guide.

Expect to see a few more guides soon, including Tek's Bow'sin and Martial Arts Assassin builds.


GUIDES, LINKS, AND TABLES 03.27.05
Before PVPWest is promoted everywhere, a few last minute tasks need to be completed. For the few of you who have been watching, the number of links and guides has jumped dramatically in the last week. Once www.pvpwest.com is completed with everything to make this site you're one-stop place for Diablo II information, promotion and non-stop advertising will begin.

Any additional help in completing guides or mini-guides in all popular and/or powerful Dii dueling classes would be appreciated, as well as comments or corrections on either any of the existing guides or reference material on the site.


WELCOME TO PVPWEST - A DIABLO II USWEST DUELING GROUP 03.19.05
PvPWest is up and running now, hope you all enjoy the new artwork, (thanks to Zh for creating them). Duels will be running as members create games. Go to the 'op pvpwest' channel and type .games to see the current dueling game name. Try to join a pvpwest game and if one doesnt exist, challenge someone to a duel and make one, more people will join. At first there won't be many games up but as we gain more members they will become more common. The goal is to eventually have mannored team duels running as often as possible.

To get access to 'op pvpwest' channel post a message in the Registration / New Users forum or click on "Application".
