You cannot go BACK to stash, there's nothing that says you cannot go to stash pre duel. That rule is in place to stop people from going to the moor sight prebuff gear, casting BO and shout, then going back to stash to get their dueling gear and then returning to the moor. If you demon limb before the duel at the stash and then cast BO/ shout before the duel starts, no prebuffing (except for demon limb) can take place.
Why would swapping jewels be a bad thing? You wouldn't need to because you still need AR, and even if you wanted to, that would further speed up duels.
I'm not suggesting we change it because "that's what we did in my day", I'm suggesting it be out to a vote and a trial before any change would even be considered. Change isn't a bad thing tho
then how can u chant if u dont go back to stash? lose 1 bo wep?
Also, where is your barb?! I see talk but u haven't joined the ladder/duelled yet as promised!

I vote we should. Per your example here's a little theorycrafting.
Regular grief eth rune = -25% target defense (halved for PvP to 12.5%)
you have 22.8k defense which means your base def is 2814.
87.5% (100-12.5) of 2814 is 2462.25.
Means regular grief hit checks your AR (assume 24k) against 19,944.23 defense.
That AR/DR equates to a 54.76% chance to hit, 13.69% chance with block factored in.
Grief of Doom for example has Lo and Um runes in it but no eth.
no eth means AR/DR hit checks out to a 51.43% chance to hit (12.85% after block factored)
Is 3.34% chance to hit wrth more than 20% DS and 25% OW?
That's up to the user
Damn it Kraig my defense is top secret
my base def is 2814 <-- you sure about that?
but yeah I see what you mean.
Is 3.34% chance to hit wrth more than
20% DS and 25% OW? (Regular grief has DS too). its 40 vs 65% OW VS 3.34% chance to hit. Im not arguing that Grief of Doom is better but regular grief is viable.
There's also the fact GoD has cold dmg...would be basically dirt playing galore. Im not sure i agree with cold at all times, its kinda frowned upon on west but allowed on east. Also it makes duels random.
Also, regarding the defense and the eth rune, personally I switched to SA before when all of us started using it (u, drew, jake etc), back when i had AP / Garreat build..But Im back to AP atm for 2 reasons: 1) the challenge 2) I dont think defense is as important in ww than it is in melee.
