if we unban fort I think we should still retain the 22 life rep cap, it'll just be somewhat easier to get rep for ppl using fort

running fort comes with big tradeoffs so I like the idea of unbanning it, I will be sticking to my 160/60 build


Agreed. 22rl cap is a sweet spot for ZvZ.

3 downside of Fort:
1. It will promo even more defensive playstyle due to the fact of +7rl.
2. CA and higher damage / lower dr will increase RNG.
3. ZvZ GM atm has very similar rules to PCL/DCL which has Forti banned for 1v1/2v2 and due to this fact many DCL players (almost all from EU) joined the ladder and there few more to come (they can use almost 1 setups to fit to both rules).

I'm not completely again Fort. I just love oldschool Zon with 160/60 but with Fort unbanned we may get more new players.

With Fort available nad Nos banned, 2 viable setups is coming to my mind:
1. Gaze (Ber) + 160/60 + GMB -> more dr
2. Gaze (40/15) + Forti + MB -> more rl, CA
DPS are almost the same.


yeah i think there are good arguments on both sides of it. we could keep the 22 rep limit which would largely prevent fort users from using rep rings. they'd have to use a shield jewel or get some rep from their gloves to reach 22.

i was concerned about rng until i realized fort would give players the flexibility to use diamond bow or shadow bow (diamond being much more consistent than gmb.) i think the best fort build would be diamond or shadow, dungos, ss, rare diadem with 2zon, 30frw, 2os (40-15) and other useful mods

i ran some numbers a week or two ago and i think chilling armor provides ~15% higher odds of multishot missing. if we unban fort around the time the new patch comes out, GA will gain 5% damage while multi will lose ~5% of its efficacy.

in our current meta with fort banned, there's one build that's decidedly, objectively superior (by a wide margin afaict): 160-60, gmb, 9 rep ring, ber'd gaze, ber'd swordback

unbanning fort allows for more creativity/flexibility with itemization. maybe someone will find a new build and climb with it. if players are able to switch to shield to tank the vast majority of their hits, this new build could perform well, but it's hard to give up so much dr bowside (esp when fighting against invis arrows) while losing 50% open wounds. the rng with CA is a tradeoff, especially if players opt for diamond over shadow.

^ watching that gave me cancer; no close range battles just straight going through quills of rows.. ZZZvZzz....



Unfortunately in the top levels, the Aggro chaser guy will likely die trying to offense.,,someone running at you or even walking is so easily punished…even if ur defensing against someone tryna come at you u just gotta multi a couple of times and he gets hurt bad lol

id b willing to unban fort; would motivate more aggro playstyle i think; not everyone has the patience to get invisbile arrow'd to death for 5-20 min a round, let alone doing that for an hr and a half straight :[
