Good work people

shields and ammies are nice too for gambling. both only need 4 mods to be nice. Although I doubt we could ever convince ferdi to gamble shields since iirc he is all about the aksod!

lld mf bowa maybe

Get crafting next boys! Nothing easier than making 10 ias/kb gloves.. and 10 ias/10cb gloves aren't too hard either. Get in there before someone else saturates the market! I made 31k in a month off those crafts and that wasn;t even d2r

You think Ferdia will allow kb on bowas?

They are nice on brawler barb also

But yeah, I was curious about how the east vs euro clash will go regarding rulesets haha. I knew 2 things for sure: east will never ever stop wsging or using tele sticks on w/e char they want regardless. Well, blizz took care of wsg for ferdi and looks like he allowed tele sticks from what I saw. So now we just need to tackle KB and frw caps and it's good to go! Pretty sure east players will never ever accept a frw cap either. When it comes to KB, I always found it super fair vs tele barb with shield, but unfair vs tele barb without shield or non-tele barb

Honestly, I just wonder what will done about mind blast.

I preferred wsg on east for 1v1 vs assassins (rather than the "we dont wsg on europe but really we do" approach we had) and prefer no wsg when not vs assassins (i like the dynamic of a team mate trying to break the mb name lock).

Tele I was mixed on. I didnt mind more classes using teleport, especially in certain matchups. Sorc vs Barb on europe was just painfully drawn out and tele would speed that up a lot, yet tele on a barb vs a nec was overkill. Hard to get a right balance without writing a rulebook more wordy than Ulysses though. I always gave shit to Ferdia for the size of his rules but all things considered they were surprisingly consice.

I am not sure about HLD, but in LLD TVT you can play a trapper well without any mind blast. With BoS and 2k trap damage along with good kiting, you are doing as much or more than your part as any other team member besides the hdins/fire sorc/ww barbs ... Trapper is not going to be a game changer without MB like it was in og d2, but they can certainly be a great addition to any team without MB... maybe teams just need to treat them more like a zon and protect them. I think MB just simply can't be allowed without wsg... and I think it's obvious! Something like Smite is still okay because of the effort it takes to land a meaningful smite or smite string in a solid 4vs4. But Mind Blast is just too easy to namelock and spam haha, without WSG they can lose to only bowa, chargers, or lucky ww barbs. If Mind Blast never existed in the first place, I think LS trappers would still be a main/good tvt or 1vs1 character in lld.

tbh w/e rules i come up with for 18 and 30 will be it
as for mld you eur scrubs can do w/e

What you said all makes sense and I agree. Could always get some sneaky mbs in with your shadow anyways.

True never thought about shadow. So MB is banned for the sin to use but still worth having for shadow to occasionally use. The rules are set!
