that argumentation is flawed. it's like saying pala with skilled medi > pala without skilled medi.
if you cannot build a char around certain rules the majority of ppl agree on, you do something wrong.

except most people do agree on blood boots

15 repl is just too low to work around for high-end gear players

even more reason to make it a rule
if rich people need to downgrade their gear, the difference in itemquality between players gets reduced and skill becomes a more important factor in regard of duel outcome

Rules are about balancing, not to please everyone.

I have no problem dueling sorcs with > 15 life rep.

about the other issues:

- ban hard points in def skills?
- ban fire golem? (i'd say no)
- max res on nec/ww/windy? carlo doesn't play bad and he still lost 5-1 to non es fb n-c. iso opinions of other nec player than warlocksbad

lmk

I have a hell of a time dueling goodfun and mikey on necs with a fireballer, fireballer can win the majority but it's not nearly as lopsided as 5-1. Mikey beat n-c 5-3 in tourney duels. Allowing him more >75 res would be bad. Also, telewindy with +max res vs sorc would be lopsided as well. They already outtank sorcs.

100 % agree

I think nec needs 85 fire res vs good fb'ers, otherwise I dont see a nec winning a ft5 vs a fb. Vs fw, 85 fire res is a must on necs. Dunno about barbs or windys.

Also dont ban fire golem, it's such a great and hard add to get, would b stupid to nerf it. Maybe just forbid it in 1vs1 vs fb.

ps: No idea about palas

i was told 85 fire res + fire golem is overpowered, anyways, i'm gonna go for 75 res on all chars and allow fire golem for the next tour. we'll see how it turns out.
also i ban all def auras for libbies, chargers, hammers - so all palas since we don't have any pure smiters or vts here.
