Wanted to change up my submission from Lo/ Conc to Dodge/ Jab.

Thanks!

I basically only need a shield at this point so I'm assuming I will be ready to go once ladder rolls. I will pre-emptively sign up and post here if I need to back out later

Koston / Werewolf / Fury


If anyone has a cool rare shield let me know, it's my last major thing I need now.

573def erep 30/20 barbed shield...

To be honest I have no idea what's good and not good when it comes to this stuff, 1) would you recommend it for a wolf druid, and 2) is it for sale? lol

depends on your needs

how much IAS do u need on your shield?

personally i'm using an ed/ias JWOD

Vote Please : Help contribute to the rare league, evolving and improving.
We are taking a vote to allow psn damage on weapons in the rare league. I have been asked by a player to do so, and I'll let the league decide.

This might give us a better option to grab erep weapons and not have to compete with gm regular melee value. Also very few rare melee even has rep life, without dungo's or angelic's.
Pro's and cons are both sides but I would like to hear everyone's opinion on it please and thank you!

Vote : yes or no ( for psn dmg on weapons )

New players have been added and updated


Welcome GM Rare & Crafted Pvp Melee League

League will restart / resume the following day after ladder resets. Please read updates, new rules and regs.

[ Multiple charter participation] - Only two charter's can be signed up for league. - I apologize to everyone who is making more rare melee chars pass two. I do not want to run into
the situation where the top 3 spots are taken by 1 player, or a wall is formed.

[ Class only pvp Brackets ] I will be introducing class brackets also into this league like I did on lod. This will give those players who want to build multiple classes to participate a chance!
You do not have to be in the main over all class Rare and Crafted Melee League. Players have the option to just sign up for a class bracket. Gives anyone who only wants to zeal vs zeal or conc vs conc a place to do so.
It will also help if someone want to switch out charters later and have fun starting from the bottom and working to the top 3 again to show their might, or maybe their side charter becomes their new main with a better chance of breaking the top 3!

Maul has been added!



Challenging

1) Have fun!! (No rage, drama, BM, or bullshit you will be removed/banned if there are multiple complaints about you).
2) To be added to the Ladder post "Jsp Name: Char Name : Char Type".
3) Allowed to challenge up to 2 ranks above you until you get to #3 then you must duel #2, then #1.
4) You must PM the other party about the challenge FIRST then post challenge in this topic.
5) GM Melee Rules (as quoted below) apply to all duels.
6) Challenge will be best 2/3 sets. The winner of each set will be the first to six. You must win each set by atleast 2 duels.
7) You may change gear 1 time during a set and 1 time between each set.
8) If you issued the Challenge you must wait 12 hours after it's completion to issue another Challenge.
9) If you lose a Challenge you must wait 48 Hours to re-challenge the same person.
10) 4-Day Dodge Rule (Afk, no-reply, no-show = auto-loss) 3 consecutive "dodges" = removed from Ladder.
11) If you cannot complete your Challenge on time it is your responsibility to PM your Challenger to inform them.
Once you've informed them, post in this Topic and ask for an extension. If you fail to do this Dodge Rule will be enforced.
¥ annotates a single dodge
12) For those who don't know: Only 5 attacks are allowed. Zeal, Concentrate, Jab, Fury, and Maul
13) Vacation Status: If you go on vacation while in the middle of a challenge, you will receive a dodge for that duel unless you are back before the 6 day maximum. If you will be on vacation for longer then 6 days, you will be placed at the bottom of the ladder.
This is an active pvp competition, if you will not be on to take place you will have to work your way back up. I understand things come up, that is why I put the 6 day qualification on there.
I do want to say it would be a smart idea to post in this topic if you are going away people might ( might ) be nice but this is a pvp ladder so don't expect it.
14) Removal from the ladder: No removal is permanent unless you have violated rule #1. You may always request to join again.
15) You can only be in 1 challenge at a time. Do not challenge someone if they are in a challenge already, and do not challenge someone if you already have a duel pending.

Special Mention

[Duel Games] - All official duel games are to be made in NIGHTMARE difficulty. This is for the fury druids. If you are not dueling a druid, it is not as important.

[Pre-Combat Check-up] - The Referee of the match must see both player's gears to see if they match the requirements.

[Starting Duel] - Both players are to state "G" so that it is visible in the message log or if both parties agree you can swing weapons to single that you are ready.

[Miss-Clicking] - Continue fighting, unless someone jumped the gun and attacked before both parties singled readiness.

[Glitched Strength] - Auto DQ will result if you die and can't pick up gear

[Holyshield] - Do not cast holyshield prior to gear change. if you casted hs and changed gear, Referee will have to kill off the player and recast hs

[Running into / or breaking away during Duel] - Point awarded to opponent. Please remember to walk into each duel.

[Draws] - If neither player survives a walk back to town, counts as a draw. No point awarded to either player

[Referees] - A Referee will hereby be deemed to be someone who understands the rules thoroughly and can be a fair judge to both parties engaged in the duel.
The Referee is there to provide a third-party ruling, and to confirm the results for those not present. To be a Referee you MUST be a part of the GM Melee Ladder, unless both parties agree before-hand that you are fit to be a Referee.
It is not hard to be a Referee. You just have to be on a character that can kill a melee character if they break a rule. Casters work just fine.

[The use of hacks and/or mods] - The use of hacks and/or mods is strictly forbidden, given that the said hack and/or mod modifies the way you duel. No fhr/ias/frw/fcr modding, no auto-aim (if you can't aim in melee you need to find a different sport) and no chicken/tp chicken.
If you have to ask if something is banned, it most likely is. Use common sense. If you are suspected of using hacks and/or mods the Referee will ask that you take a screenshot with a timestamp and PM it to them/the other dueler.
Refusal to do either will result in an auto-loss for the entire challenge. The use of a Loader is OK, as long as that loader does not have any of the aforementioned features.

[Betting] - Betting is COMPLETELY optional. You may bet if you wish, however you may not force someone to wager. It has to be a mutual agreement between the two of you.

[Torch] - Torch will be allowed in this ladder due to I want everyone to be able to make a melee char to put in this ladder. Without the 20str/20dex from torches it takes away a lot from people who have lesser fg.
Torch charges that proc in duels will be allowed in this pvp ladder. However both parties can vote to take of torches and restat.

Welcome all new players! We are excited seeing interest and excitement for the league growing!
I have taken a set back from the other pvp leagues to focus on this and anything that is needed for the rare and crafted melee league.

I vote yes.

I think it should probably be restricted to weapons only as to not introduce a ton of poison and most other items are available in relative abundance without poison.

Or have a cap of xx poison in aggregate on items, charms still banned

Voting no on the psn damage. People could easily slip in some poison charms and Im not trying to check full inventories whenever I see some green.

Just for reference, if they decided to use 37 451s, in a normal game where you have 75 Psn Resis. It'd be doing 296 damage per second, compare that to open wounds doing roughly 100 per second at around lvl 95-99 except one is a tiny investment on your belt for no loss and the other is over 100k fg and the removal of actual good charms for 3 times the damage of already nothing.

This is also a rare/crafted league, I personally have two pieces of gear with reduced poison length by 25%. Which means to me, 37 451 psn small charms would be doing half the damage of open wounds.

I would welcome someone removing their inventory of max damage / attack rating / life / +skills charms for sub par garbage poison.

451 over 12 seconds = 37.6 per second.

x37 = 1390.6 per second

Reduced by 75% resis = 347.6 per second

Reduced by 17% pvp penalty = 288.6 per second

further reduced by 25%/50%/75% based on poison length reduction on your gear.

I vote yes




Small charms have looong ass psd duration (could be easy to tell) and, quite frankly...
since it's nightmare, PLR sounds like a cool stat to add to these fights.

Idk just an opinion and I could change my mind about this
SS druids though: Oak = bullshit.
