That's why you don't take gosupvp-legit character into public duels.
For instance, if my opponent uses occy rings, then I use 2x raven frost. If he is just teleporting around hitting me with ts and I can't get to him very well, I'll slap on guardian angel.
The only people that REALLY gives me trouble are the zons that most barbs refuse to duel (100% pierce + 8frame firing speed + knockback + massive poison), and I still beat a majority of them.
/w *thesuck for duels.
I use only legit but will be happy to take anyone on 1v1 in a friendly duel =)
