The V/T, which stands for Vidicated Templar, is a favorite PvP build of mine. As a player who frequently duels I find the v/t to be one of the strongest hybrids out there in the Diablo II world. With the sucessful completion of this guide, you will pk/duel games easier to manage and easier to own

V.Strategy
|Assasin|
Trappers can be tricky with the v/t. Use FoH to lure them in then charge and smite, smite, smite!
Melee Sins will be a breeze...usually they will die with a few foh/smite combos
|Amazon|
Bowzons are fairly simple. Usually 1 FoH will finish them off. Charge then FoH
Javazons See Melee Sin
|Barbarian|
Whirlwinders will be easy, Lure them in..try a few smites..if they have uber life just keep dodging the WW's and FoH.
Any Other Melee Barb won't stand a chance. A few combos will kill them
|Sorceress|
For any and every sorceress the strategy is simple. Just use FoH. If they come close enough to you smite thar ass.
|Druid|
This will be your hardest opponent, use the lure technique again, but when they come in smite as soon as you enter their Hurricane to avoid their Tornadoes.
Melee Druid's are basically no competition, just FoH/smite
|Necromancer|
Necromancers are tough. Make them come closer to you with foh and then smite away.
Poison Necromancer is same technique as Bone
Summon Necromancers are very hard..try to pick off the summons with FoH and then smack the Necro down with smite.
|Paladin|
Hammerdins are easy. FoH them until they tele onto you then smite.
Smiters. Well use FoH as much as you can but use smite to defend yourself when they come in close.
This is the conclusion of my guide. I hope some of you try it out and find it works
