As long as you don't use an offensive aura while charging, you're okay.
I'll edit the rules to clarify.
ty :)


Response to Riox asking what identifies a pure charge pala.
So can a pala max charge and might and charge with vigor?

This is one reason why I changed the rule to 1 lvl off aura and 1 lvl charge. Made it much more fair.
If maxing charge and might is allowed we might see Paedo.

It is not my business to answer for this tour, but let me respond just briefly as i don't think this is the right place and time to discuss rules. I am not happy with a few aswell, but anyway.

The rules are mostly from johanns last tour i guess, with the addition of 5 Mdr (which makes sense) and 10 repl for bowas (which is an okay attempt, too)

We had lots of pala discussions in the past and balancing this op class at lvl18 isn't easy. What should be done is taking away too high 1hit potential, without banning too much.
To leave room for some char variety.
In the end, there is no best solution to do this, and Riox has a point asking.

I actually do like the "no dmg aura" approach combined with charge, vigor or blessed aim are still huge additions. And 1.5-2k+ dmg charge (Riox might have more adequate numbers) with 50%ds isn't hard to get even without aura and is waaaaay enough.
My libbies stats are about 1.1k+ charge dmg 50%ds with vigor. (around 6 points iirc in each charge and might)

what matters is some sort of "common sense" regarding "pure chargers are banned".
Maxing charge and maxing might is kinda the definition of a pure charger if you ask me. But yet again, you could obviously ask if 1pt Zeal, do you have a hybrid ?
Takes me to point above, use common sense. That is the only compromise possible imo, there is always room to compete the rules.
Riox uses Twitch, Deaths and Zeal , right? Could call it a Zeal/charge/throw hyb then ofc. I don't know what a Paedo char is, but you´ll know.

What you have stated isn't more fair. Not in any way imo. In two ways:

lvl 1 might and lvl 1 charge might help your char ( i don't know, just saying) , but might ban lots of others. Speaking about libbies it would render this fun char completely useless.

Controllability. You can observe if somebody is using charge and might / conc aura.
But you cannot observe if somebody is using lvl 1 might or lvl 8 might , if lvl 1 charge or lvl 8 charge or or or ..
This is what you would do, what player B would so, but what players C or D might not. You cannot control it and thats why i am against it.
I´d rather have max charge+might/no aura.
Just my cents, johann might have other opinions and i won't argue anymore here.

Sending fg too !

agreed and i know this :)

i agree again, leaving the smiters/libby char options open.

I actually do like the "no dmg aura" approach combined with charge, vigor or blessed aim are still huge additions. And 1.5-2k+ dmg charge (Riox might have more adequate numbers) with 50%ds isn't hard to get even without aura and is waaaaay enough.
My libbies stats are about 1.1k+ charge dmg 50%ds with vigor. (around 6 points iirc in each charge and might)
i am a fan of the no dmg aura too, but this doesnt stop the palas in tour maxing charge/might/vigor. then they are effectively a pure charger but better. since they have the vigor speed for quicker hits & more synch. Thats what im getting at, the dmg is enough without the aura, and 1 point charge.

what matters is some sort of "common sense" regarding "pure chargers are banned".
in tvt/fun duels common sense is fine, but when hosting a tour you get some players taking it serious and will build any char to win and any little gap in the rules they will take full advantage of

Thats your defination, not a rule (even though i agre with you here). Yeah most will say "ive got zeal, im not a pure charger"

Riox uses Twitch, Deaths and Zeal , right? Could call it a Zeal/charge/throw hyb then ofc. I don't know what a Paedo char is, but you´ll know.
Atm Paedo is lvl 1 conc, lvl 1 charge with maxed zeal/sac and throw on switch, but this wouldnt stand a chance vs the above build that i mentioned.

What you have stated isn't more fair. Not in any way imo. In two ways:

lvl 1 might and lvl 1 charge might help your char ( i don't know, just saying) , but might ban lots of others. Speaking about libbies it would render this fun char completely useless.
Why would it make a fun char useless, they hammer with conc and they could put there remaining skills on charge. I dont mind having more then 1 charge but once you get an overkil on this skill + the syns, the dmg becomes a total joke (even without aura). i would honestly rather duel a pala with might/charge then a pala with vigor/charge. Since the dmg wouldnt be much different, the vigor hits more due to speed and will synch like crazy (if the pala puts enough mana)

Controllability. You can observe if somebody is using charge and might / conc aura.
But you cannot observe if somebody is using lvl 1 might or lvl 8 might , if lvl 1 charge or lvl 8 charge or or or ..
This is what you would do, what player B would so, but what players C or D might not. You cannot control it and thats why i am against it.

The nice thing to keep in mind is that even if a mostly pure charger exists, its not like they'll synch charge Fromm off screen, synch back off screen, and repeat. That'd be considered overly defensive play. So if you can survive one charge, there is some room for counter play (whether charge misses or is blocked, etc)

P.S:
Don't forget when you send fg to also send me the rest of the information I need please :)

They wouldnt need to synch offscreen. They could simply charge the opponant do a small charge away (staying in screen) and charging back at them. keep repeating that, and when one hits they will just finish with a 1k dmg zeal and say "im not pure charge". Okay im slightly over-egging this but just letting you know its possible to do so.

Just to give you an idea. I've respeced Paedo just to illustrate the charge dmg (without using aura), also my pala comes under the rules as i have lvl 4 zeal (enough for 5 hits). The build only has 4 gcs (rest life/manas) and the charge dmg is: 75-2060 (using clegs btw). That dmg can also go up to about 2.5k. My pala uses ar/max jewels not 20max and 4 skillers only as i mentioned above.
Going to respec back to zeal, god that charge dmg makes me sick.

Gents you are all missing one key point here, at least for this tour - Riox is crap (didn't see any other zealots enter).

Let him enter with a lvl30 charger and I'd still whop him kk?


xD its not so much focused on this tour as much as it is for general lvl 18 dueling. Every pala i speak to and Riox will agree are speced differently. Some use max aura, some use might charge, some use max sac/zeal and some dont charge with aura.
As far as the lvl 18 rules go, i bloody love them, and the lvl 18 community has done a fantastic job, but us pala players seriously hate playing pala at lvl 18 because of the "wide-open" rules

vouch this

would like to get a vote going or something on rules before all this starts i only charge with aim tvts/1vs1 i never have complaints (except andy and frank cuz they can never beat me)
i can start another topic for a vote on 18 paladin rules but last time i did i didnt get much of a response
im from east so we charge with might we have all of our rules laid out making a pally on euro i have followed the rules i was told in the tvts im not goingto pay my entry fee until i get a set of rules i can duel by but if you nerf me by not maxxing might i see no point my zeal dmg sucks as it is and my throw will suffer as will my charge then andy could prob get a win againest me i just cant have that
