the 30 minute rule is a guideline. dont use it as a basis for an argument here please. its specifically aimed at such duels as libby vs FB and/or Barb vs Sorc and/or Blizz vs Ama.
The idea is that whoever is running away all the time (i.e. the FASTER OPPONENT) will be penalised for not engaging, and will forfeit the duel. Obviously I have never as yet penalised a barb ever, as its the 2nd slowest class (without teleport). in the duels i have ref'd sorc vs barb, i have penalised the sorc's who simply refused to attempt to go insceen vs the barb. same goes for ama vs Blizz, if the blizz character is not built right it won't have enough mana. I'm not naming and shaming but most people know the sorc players that play very passively.
mathijs, i already responded to your post via a long pm to each of your suggestions. you have totally ignored my pm. i will repeat myself:
(1) Blizz / Light with 85 Res vs FB - discuss with harabec.
(2) Whisp is over level 49 - However I will look at TG's next time. (i do not want to see idiotic posts from anyone saying "but TG is 100~110 Str")
(3) When harabec can't kill an ama with 85 Fire res I will consider 80, as it is, amazons do not win 5-0 vs good fb's. you will fundamentally change the dynamic's if you reduce the resistance limit. Strong FB'ers realise that 80Fire Res is simply too low.
(4) Agree that Necro needs more resistance vs Cold
(5) I dont agree with pots. insight on switch, and build the character right and you won't have these mana problems. again, MLD, not HLD. the matchup is hard. not a perfect world.
(6) May consider more FRW on assassin, if it helps vs Ama. (i dont see how but always open to suggestion to fix this.
(7) previously had unlimited FRW limits, costs associated with same kicked alot of people out of the market for the items. allowing items such as harmony vs Sorc's is a viable option, IN MY OWN OPINION. lower frw limits, with amazon potentially having max 90 frw, is a thought. i dont want to push up frw prices, they are expensive as it is.
(8) all Ref'd duels on bridge maps. All duels on bridge maps on request from either player. thais already in place.
(9) no to mana pots
seperately
(1) no to EOP - play HLD if u want to teleport with barb. your fundamentally changing mld by allowing these hacked items.
(2) no to tele charges - tested
(3) Allow more resistances on Smiter Vs VT and Sorc's - further progression in tournaments and they are the one class that can smash amazons, meaning less amazons advancing, and more opportunities for different classes to reach top 8,4,2, and 1st spot.
(4) giving more classes chances to KO amazons will reduce the % of amazons.
i find it difficult therefore to respond here again. if you are posting your suggestions, please also post my responses, thanks. alternative, i'll write my response again, in my own time.
Mana is not the issue in assa vs ama btw, and i do not see a justification for allowing mana pots. this is mld, not hld. again, mana is not the issue.
would agree 100% with jeebus and sliky here.
after 0-0 the sorc forfeits the duel as it obviously playing retarded.
