broken IAS/attack speed caps as well (with burst of speed, trap sins can throw out traps/dtalon/fireblast at 2x the old speed)

Amazon Specific Rules:
- SM is not allowed
- 2x Raven Frosts allowed (can not stack above 310 resist)
- May use +15% max fire resists
- More than one point into Plague Javelin is not allowed

not sure bout that.
its like impossible to get a dodge lock in d2r

Considering new rules:
Ban assassin martial arts skills (currently unblockable due to a glitch)
Energy shield sorcs >80% cannot use mana potions
Energy sorcs any % may not use mana pool
Limit for cold stack (400%?)

Please discuss above

lmfao

Is it an option to just allow more slow% vs. Assassins rather than capping their build structures so much?
Seems like it would be better to enable the use of game content, rather than disable the use of game content.
Something to consider.

Lemme go hoto smack a sin on my necro to apply the slow m8 what a great idea why didn't I think of this?!

No... Just no. Like WTF. I'm a Hybrid Assassin and dragon claw/dragon talon/dragon flight is part of my arsenal. It is beyond stupid to even consider banning the martial arts tree. What's next? Ban smite because fant makes it faster (and it also happens to be unblockable)? Ban strafe on zons because pew pew too fast? Limitations are starting to get absurd. Instead of banning stuff, a better alternative is to open up the doors to welcome more variety/skills/gear/builds. Decrep used to be GM. Make it GM again. This should fix a lot of the speed issues between Sin v Nec and is a far better solution than banning out assassin skills.

Allow bone wall. I see no issue with it. Hell, allow poison nova and force the sin to run fade and PLR gear to negate it.

Cold stack limit makes sense. It should be 410 (before to Anya Bug) = raven or 385 with raven.

My good bro your Necro has Decrepify which in old D2 was considered BM and usually banned. This is slow %.
If you were allowed to use Decrep as example, it would cull the Assassin's aggressive strengths and arguably be a better solution to balance than restricting the hell out of Assassin builds.
Same goes for say a BvC who slapped on a Clegs for vs. Trapper.

In any situation like this where game balance is trying to be achieved, it is usually better to enable more content to achieve balance, rather than removing content.
Generally players like their games with more dynamic, not less.

Mana pots is for chumps

Hybrids will be just fine with ww/traps & mb.

The problem with kicks & other melees is the fact that they completely ignore block and there is no way to counter against it.
