Well. That’s an easy question. You follow the rules for whatever said tournament you signed up for cause those were probably disclosed to you prior to signing up.


Don't most tournaments go by the general lld rules though? besides the fpk one obviously

2v2 would still be pretty one sided for the same reason as a 1v1 or do you disagree? maybe I'm overthinking people being cheap lol

I mean yeah you’re right. But none of us have any say over a tournament that was signed up for and can’t change the rules after everything was set in place. It would have to be something set in future tournaments

I wouldn't mind either way it went. The only thing I have always wanted is a lower general rep life cap. Like 20 for all, 10 for sorc or din. But there are so many characters already built around 30 rep cap with godly gear, can't see it winning a popular vote.

Recasting on a lld Druid does not materially change game play.

Just my thoughts.

iamasylum is an ex-scammer that everyone should be careful around.

As an fpker as yourself I feel I’m confused you don’t understand the difference it makes

I don’t main fpk in hld. Just vtpk. Also you’d never see esfb vs ele Druid in “fpk” lmao

I’m just thinking high level here.

How does it change the gameplay especially in lld.

If we’re talking pure fpk lld, one trap literally destroys the absorb damage. Wsg or not, the gameplay would never change.

I thought we were talking fb vs druid but yeah I kinda see where you’re coming from.

I mean lld tele druid is going to die to trap sin 90% of the time as is

in that circumstance i only see it as a balance, say 2 chars absolute fighting to end a duel, will come down to who lands the decisive move, druids stomp or sins cq lay/lock , not some errant c/t trap or a simple whiff by the druid, sin gets kill by default just because she has traps around her.

Dueling trappers in lld is aids anyways if we are being honest

not one tournament in the last year has gone by the general lld rules, not just the fpk tourney, all tourneys we have had in this sub in the last year have their own special rules. sorc and hdin and non xbow bow zon has not been allowed in a single event. i plan to hold a real general lld rules event once the current ones that are going on are over with, ted/asylum/snipa r gonna donate to the prize pool.

you are 100% right, other than trap dmg is 1-xxxx dmg so it can sometimes take multiple trap hits to clear cyc armors sorb. eitherway though that's just splitting hairs. there is still no difference recast or not druid is gonna get plowed vs a sin, and any good fb/fw.

i am one of the few who would not care and sides 100% with you on lowering rep. i purposefully have setups for all my chars with only 20 rep, and setups with 30 rep. and for din i can run 0 rep or 30 rep. but not everyone has backup gear so i see your point.
