FPK is a cop-out to not having to duel *characters that have versatility* with your caster characters
* BvC hates to duel bowas or anything that it requires AR and a Shield to use (this is outside of the character's favored setup), even smiters and hdins are banned because too stronk and requires an altered setup from the usual cheap bullshit
* Nec hates to duel anything that requires it to actually wear resistance or use heavy Bone Spiriting to win (due to modern FPK builds, the mana is low and anything that shoves -res on the nec will toast it) again, smiters, hdins, bowas and even sorcs are banned as well as ghosts
* Trapper hates bowas because they win, hates palys because they synch up on them with awesome res auras and HF to stop trap recast and sorcs because blizzard is just more than what they want to worry about
* Ele Druid excels in the world of FPK with max fcr and low block but vs anything like (bowa, charger, hdins, blizz) it has an adequate disadvantage and obviously the druid would rather not have to worry about such opponents
Summary:
Bowazons, Hammerdins, Ghosts and Sorcs all use the same general outfits when going in to a team duel
But when the above classes show up, BvCs, Necs, Trappers and Ele Druids all need to start swapping gear setups
Again, FPK is a cop-out to not having to duel the characters that are viewed as *powerful* in team pk
I see the point in the classes selected for FPK, it does select a certain brand of builds which offer no clear advantage or disadvantage to anyone on the field (which is why it is called: Fun Player Killing)
But it incorporates less than half of the recognized pvp builds in D2 v1.13d and retards your dueling skill
It's also bullshit because Assassins, Druids, Necros and BvC already get to dominate 1v1 pvp ladder play (generally)
FPK is a bad trend this late in D2, the community is diminishing heavily and it's getting harder to get a team duel together as is
Banning players from games who play Bowa, Hdins, Ghosts or Sorcs is just bad for organizing competition
