bored...

Dej, Yes, I am aware that the main failing was at my doorstep. In most of the previous tournaments I put pressure on people to complete duels, however I had hoped, with the limited access to d2 that I had at the time of this tournament, that users would complete their duels, in a timely fashion.

You have stated several times that you have quit the MLD scene. Whats your aim here ? I put a FoH build into the tournament on your behalf. Everyone already know this. A HLD player made a similar build and beat you, you claimed he is excessive def whoring, however everyone that saw the video (you made a video) does'nt think thats the case. In relation to manapots - you knew you did not have enough mana on your paladin, this is why you wanted to allow mana pots. You can argue all you like but those are the facts. Can we stop going round and round now? I agree with you on your points on the EP players, im not happy that they refuse to play with the community and instead play against it.

Chris, Yes michel fucks people over, its OK to say his name. Michel is not in the tournaments, and does not partake in any of my TVT's and I have told him not to use my accounts to NK.

Michel has quite a few of his own accounts and what he does on them is his own business, his behaviour is not welcome in the tvt's or tournaments that I arrange and he is aware of this. If you cannot post something constructive, and all you can do is complain, then why bother? why not let people play around in their little community instead of swooping in to disrupt things? You have "quit" several times and posting all this over and over in the forums in not constructive.


If you spend some hours/days lurking through the archives of lld section you'll see that i've been talking about mana pots for years.

Jim can probably vouch it if he remembers / i can look through our msn logs since we discussed it before (if i got such old logs).

Everyone said he def whored, you claimed it was because he have a weaker smite. I have quit MLD but I get tired when you try to blame other people for your failure.

The case isn't my V/T. The case is that people defwhore becuase they need mana. I've seen it on a lot of builds, I played babouns zon and it wouldn't work with his mana pool. I thought you wanted to improve the MLD community - add mana pots which requires less item whoring to get mana ON TOP of the stats you need.

I know you're too narrow minded to think I actually would thought of anything else than my own benefit. Sorry, I can do that.

your last sentance does'nt make sense, i.e. not sure what you are saying.

Jim did'nt use mana potions on his MLD chars, and since i joined LLD / MLD, no body used mana potions, why start now?

A bowazon does not need manapots, 4 sc's 17life / 17mana (cheap!) or 3frw 17 mana (ultra cheap!) fixes any bowa's mana issues.

What build(s) need mana potions?

please don't say tele druid, thats HLD.

Bowazons do not need mana potions - simply sacrifice some of that damage for mana.

@ last - yes.

but at what cost? the cost of you having A LOT more damage/ar and whatever. You need to realize that mana pots would make a lot more people able to play?

You guys can all afford godlike chars, you also got godlike chars with a nice mana pool. Some people can't afford the necessary mana pots and therefor defwhore to regen mana

Who are you to say that?

You can afford everything.

what?

for an example:
barbarians could have use of it (even if 1.13 should nullify most of the need)
vita sorcs (eventually not FB/light but cold)
most paladins (hello medi whoring)
amas so they can use multi shot which is >> ga by far, also makes rushing more viable
necros will just insight whore when low on mana (which they always are)
trapsins would need it

a lot of chars owuld need it

"hehe, just get better rings/amus/chamrs/items/quit mld


Why would I have to sacrify dmg when you don't need to? I don't think you realize how much mana potions would encourage offensive game play.

Dej, is your argument for mana potions "because i can't afford mana at the expense of damage ?"

I am fully aware that mana potions will create more Off play, but who exactly wants mana potions on europe MLD ?

rushing is and never will be viable in ama v ama @ 49 as the damage on shadow bows is simply too high. it works at LLD and HLD, not @ MLD. allowing mana potions @ 49 on a zon for the purposes of spamming multi is a bit...OP.

Barbarians dont need mana (anymore).

Vita sorc's can use insight.
paladins are OP @ 49, and they have Medi, let them use it, its been used for years.

im sorry, also.

kinda stresses out normally.

mostly much to do.

just you say the "only thing" i do is complaining fer? ignoring all that work ive (we) done improving/making the rules? recruiting new mates, helping ppl, tvting? that sounds quite disproportional to me tbh.

In my opinion it would be a good thing to allow the use of mana pots. People that got alot of base mana will still benefit from it, since high base mana isn't equivalent to the use of mana pots. The overall effect would be exclusively positive imo, making more chars "playable".

If I could just get some support every now and then from you I would appreciate it :x

I got around the issue of mana potions for alot of builds by allowing insight. those that can't or won't use insight can play without mana potions.
