Im with Seby. Two most obvious tweaks are lose cthon on ama (means both palas and assas can win vs them) and nerf charge on pala by limiting points in might/charge. The reason we went for no aura rather than limiting points was because its easier to monitor for cheating but limiting points in might makes pala less op for tvt too.

I dont see a need for wholesale changes anywhere else regarding rep or frw. Youd nearly have to start getting into duel specific rules then and thats really messy for a bracket which, as was said above, just isnt that competitive.

Yup, no limit. Its more balanced than youd think.

Well, that’s good to hear.
If so I am up for trying those changes you speak of. We could always start by testing it, see how it works and how people respond to it

Further to our discussion, i did a quick (and arbitrary) analysis of 10 lvl 18 TvT builds and tried to classify them as either (a) a DPS char (b) a Tank (c) a Support char

To do this, i ranked each build based on 4 different criteria:

1) Mobility
2) Damage output
3) Range
4) Survivability


Adding in additional criteria may help to further flush out what a build's role is in a team comp.
I have to admit though, that i found it hard to categorize some of the builds, for example the bone necro. It could easily be argued that this build is actually a DPS build since they have so much range, decent damage, and the potential to hit multiple chars simultaneously.

I think that if we as a community try to evaluate each build, we can start seeing what aspects are lacking in a build, or what areas we should start to nerf to make a build more fair. One example of this is to say, well if a lvl 18 sorc is actually trying to fill the tank roll, shouldnt it have a higher life rep cap, etc?

Iso thoughts/constructive feedback
