okay was just sticking up for my barbarian brethren, carry on!

yesyes

too soon

just curious, is the cap on stacked resist designed to help cold sorc & foh palys because they're both considered too weak and need the help?

These rules only apply to ferdia and no one else. Just ignore them.

ferdia is too good for us. he needs to handicap himself to make it a fair playing field ♥

as an actual attempt at the rules i'd keep it SUPER simple.

10 replife on ES sorcs, 25 replife for the rest. otherwise even simple p crown + honor is over the 20 rep limit. artificial market for 10 rep pcrowns seems dumb.

hard pt prayer banned ofc.

tele sticks for anyone who wants to wear one. period. no restrictions.

63 fcr for sins that use MB (read: all sins)

no frw limit, over a certain point you're just gimping your own life total.

3 max bonewalls per screen.

standard no pots, no items with slow, standard ban list on skills, no NL ww.


if a libby, trapper, bowa, or fwall sorc wins. sobeit.

i kinda agree with snipa.
you dont want lld gm list to be an amendment document for a federal law. people should be able to quickly glance at it and know what cant be done without being screwed by misremembering.

some rules seem unecessary to me, like the frw cap. telestaves will be used right? so right away close-range characters are able to get close, or can get more frw of their own. im sure theres a good reason for it, but from an outsiders point of view, you will confuse people. same for the res stacking rule. the only piercing characters is cold sorc and foh+conv paly. rules should only cover things that are beyond op and break the game, like rep and max res.

in pvp servers, most tournaments were won by fireballers because they had access to op +5 fb orbs. instead of adding restrictions like theres no tomorrow, we simply allowed 10max res vs fire sorcs.

ive been gathering some lld items on d2r mf runs. would participate. only thing i dont agree with is druid. dont make it level 35 in a lld lol.

Amazon - cant wsg anymore. Balances certain matchups, making them more fair. tele staff on Java.
Assassin - MindBlast appears to be OP. Considering capping the max allowable FCR at 63% (will have to test this) or max allowable Mindblasts while namelocking (tempted to go with this one).
Barbarian - WW next delay? Noting Top End Barbs are monsters, I see this as balancing certain matchups.
Druid - Shaper is FUBAR. Consider allowing to lvl to 35. Desync no longer works, str bug no longer works. Tele Staff on Windy.
Necro - Tele Staff on Necro.
Paladin - No longer "dissapearadong". Not the end of the world. Skilled Medi remains banned.
Sorc - 65% block on Fire and Cold.

everyone is entitled to their own opinions. but i dont agree that only 4 of the 7 classes can viably win tournaments. all 7 should have a realistic chance.
