11. You may challenge up to two spots ahead of you until cracking the "top 5 barrier": Once reaching top 5 status, you may only duel who is the next spot ahead of you.

You know, I was reading something in the melee ladder discussion thread the other day and it made me wonder; is this really a good thing? I don't really care, I don't have the gear to go much if any higher right now anyway, but what if #4 can't beat #3 but could beat #2 because of setup or gear or play style... wouldn't it be more interesting and liven things up a bit to allow #4 to challenge #2? It would help break up any stagnation that occurs at that level and keep people dueling. It would also make people have to defend their spots more vigorously. Might this not be a good idea?

Maybe I'm just a dumb noob though.

I agree with you to a certain extent, but imho I think instead of top 5 it should be top 3 status before you can't skip.

well thts the thing, u should b able to beat a ghost despite their playstyle/gear, if not then ud have to adjust to tht certain player somehow n have different setups jus for them or work on ur style vs em.

i kinda agree cuz top 3 seeds have very close matches n can b a toss up sometimes.

I agree. since the ladder is small. we should change it to top 3.

Once reaching top 3, skipping is stupid because at that level, you should be able to handle any gvg challenge thrown at you. and if not, u dont deserve that spot.

Me, Mike, and Riz are the top 3 ghost sins right now and we all go back and forth. We all have weaknesses and strengths with certain playing styles but once u reach that level, its not so much about gear, but being a "good dueler" and being a good dueler means u should be able to adapt to another person's dueling style to "out play" them

With the top 3 tier system.... that means that once someone gets to #3, they should almost always be able to beat someone thats number 4 and lower (unless extremely bad luck with block or internet connection problems). Someone that is number 2 should be always be able to beat someone lower than that. So in a sense, theres no chance for the #4 or anything lower to beat #2 anyways

6. Use your own BO with the gear you use during duels.
7. Absolutely NO pre-buff; you must cast venom with the gear you will be dueling in. Carrying anything in your inventory except for charms is considered BM (Ex. Cube for buffing)
8. Stacked poison resist up to 85% and/or up to 75% poison length reduced by gear is allowed. No antidotes. (You are required to show belt and potions if requested along with gear to show where the plr/stack comes from)

12. You can only challenge the same person once in the span of 48 hours unless they accept it first via D2JSP PM.
13. No dodging. This rule is in place for someone who wishes to "hold" their spot. If someone is not available to get on d2, then it is not a "dodge". 3 days of "dodge" (No excuses)
14. Only one base point can be used in light or fire traps. Claw with 3+ to light sentry base are acceptable. (Hybrids are allowed if they agree not to use traps beforehand)
15. If you town it is a death (on purpose or accidental) unless the opponent agrees other wise.
16. No overly use of house's or cornering/mass defensive dueling. If you feel your opponent is too defense, feel free to pm a mediator to watch the duel or fraps it yourself.
17. Items that have spell charges are allowed but charges cannot be used.
18. Ethereal items are not allowed unless they are glitched indestructable, zod'd, or self-repairing.
19. Winner must post a s/s of the kills if there is any question as to the outcome of the duels.
20. Repeated s/e'ing after each death to get around the anya bug is considered Bm. If one person accidentally drops from the game, the other person is allowed to rejoin as well to keep everything fair (assuming they have died prior).
21. Being in a party of any size during official duels is not allowed unless the match is being mediated (Only the Mediator may be in a party).
22. Anytime either person touches the stash for any length of time, they are required to Save/Exit + Rejoin game and show their gear/inventory again upon discretion of the other player.
23. If any player dodges more than 2 challenges in a row (3rd dodge). They face risk of being kicked from ladder. They may rejoin again later, but will lose current rank.
