Like we need them.  Only thing I can think of for us demonologists is this: Versus druids, save Death Coil for when the druid is at about 1,000 life. Toss it, then cast a Shadowbolt while the poor bear/cat/hotdog is %s-ing around. My most decisive victory against Stomp was while I was Afflic/Dest specced. Nightfall proc'd, so I instant-cast a Shadowbolt, followed immediately by a Death Coil then a Shadowburn. Brought him from about 2000 to dead before he knew what happened. When you're used to the steady pace of DoTs, that came as quite a shock to him I think.  |

disarm everyone
most guys are not protected from it, most have other high lvl enchants....especially casters!
w/o their wands they are just ugly guys in pajamas! (for about 6 seconds!)
trinkets
the x factor of the fight
have lots of them, try to collect diff ones for diff classes
footwork
running around, back & forth, side/side throws off your opponent
(personally i dont do this, i think its silly, and i let the other beat on me for extra rage)
tip: this works very well in av where lag can be a big factor, dont stand toe to toe, attack and get behind him...may lag for a couple of secs that would allow him to hit you (but not if you get behind him! hahaha!)
confusion
when i duel other warriors i try to take away the most ability: charge
i like to get right up and personal, luv to watch them pedal back and back....like that would save them! hahaha!

Heh, when I'm fighting casters I actually intentionally disarm myself. The use of a spellstone in my offhand to absorb damage is often more useful against a caster than the stats and damage granted by my staff.

When fighting a warlock or priest, use shadow ward. It is your friend.
And yes, use a spellstone when fighting casters.
Thats a good idea about saving the death coil Vith. With any class that can heal itself it is best to save those big fast spells at the end, when they think they still have time to heal up. As for other classes, mainly rogues and warriors, I tend to use it at the beginning. As they are running I try to get all my dots on them, and start a shadow bolt. The longer you can keep these classes away the better.

Death Coil > dot > dot > dot = dead rogue, almost hands down.
We generally can't kill a demon lock faster then those dots will take us down, especially if you fear again. Other locks, its hit or miss, sometimes we can take you fast enough, sometimes we can't.
I'm ashamed to say that Exmodel, who only recently got 60, can already pwn me in duels. 2 out of 3 went to him the other night. Congrats Ex, I hate you.

Rock n' Roll Rotten. Until you become an Orc, I'm not TOO worried about the fight  Remember, dueling isn't like BG, I have more room to work, and don't have to worry about your buddies showing up. I won't give away my warrior bashing tricks til after we fight again, hehe. Orc warriors. . orcs in general. . major stun resist = incredibly hard for a rogue. |

Just don't cry too hard when you lose another three Or if you do, be on TS so I can laugh I am so setting myself up to fail here, lol. I'll make sure to be on about 8pm server time so you can mop the floor with my leather clad arse. And just because you were fighting them 1v1 doesn't mean they didn't have it in the back of their heads that they have limited time before someone else might show up, changes how you play. Once we fight once or twice, if I win, I'll divulge my secrets, may help you get an edge on other rogues as well as myself. |

Well, this thread got hijacked.
Too bad I wasn't around to join in the duelling fun.

So do you two just feel silly now that you were both bickering at each other, and the all mighty Aph came in and went 2 for 2 against one and 3 for 3 against the other?
Just dont sick any healing classes on me. Then I am not quite as mighty, but more pathetic.
