The only chars where this is a concern against is sorc, necro and zons. Sins aren't going to kick barb/pallies/other sins etc. Druids lose vs good sin anyway so its a w/e.
For sorc, put a cap on cold stack. No one should be able to tank 25 blizzards to the face and live. This has been tested before for Coooley's DFC tournament and the fair limit was roughly 410 prior to Anya (without raven). For those who wear raven, cold stack should be capped at 385.
For amazons, can consider allowing plague (under 30k damage). This forces the sin to play more cautiously and run fade over BOS (which also addresses the ias issue). This also forces the sin to adapt and use PLR gear to negate the poison. It also forces the zon to pick between a more "vs all" build or go "pure bow" and pew pew people down with multi spam (currently also faster than normal due to ias issue).
For Necro, allow decrep and bone wall. Hell, I'd be okay with poison nova being allowed as well. This will force the sin to run fade instead of BOS.
TL;DR. All of these are potential solutions and have been tested in the DFC Season 3 (and it worked out well). Rather than ban skills, its better to open up the doors to more build variation and skills. Banning skills should be a last resort.
I really like these ideas, we don't need to keep restricting when we have gear/abilities that already exist to help. I don't want to see the same fpk builds every open tourney. We could open up different builds and gear choices and create a new meta for D2r, which is clearly NOT D2 legacy.
Couple notes:
Amazon's - why limit to 30k plague jav? That's only 1000 dmg over 11 seconds when you got other abilities in the game doing WAY more dmg instantly. What do you think the average health in pvp is? We could allow plague jav to do 1/4 dmg of the average health. Plague jav is not soammable and the other player has to be too aggressive or have poor positioning to consistently get hit by it.. What about 1 point in slow missile if decrep is allowed?
Necro - sounds good to me except psn Nova unless it is also capped on dmg. The difference between psn Nova and plague jav is that all the necro has to do is tele near the other player, spam Nova, tele away. The plague jav is a much slower, aimed ability.
Let's think of ways to promote build diversity, not destroy it.
