can we talk about these sorc rules? Seem overly aggressive vs es sorcs.. es sorcs suck for 1v1 tournaments and they are nerfd to the fuckin ground with these rules

mainly 1 / 3 / 4 seem op

1, and 4, are not new rules.

kinda are even es sorcs could use hotspurs back in the day
it use to be 85 or more es cant use mana potions now its 80
sorcs could use mana potions in plenty of tournies because mana doesnt stop u from getting ur es broken

It was lowered from 85, and I have no idea why, but comon
Es sorcs with hotspurs?

i dont even care about hotspurs it was just allowed back in the day but not in svs
i think its silly a es sorc cant use tgods tho

Maybe in 1.08

for sure in 1.10 and 1.11
its kinda needed given the no wsg going on atm
we are adjusting a lot of rules for d2r but that class untouched

Es sorcs are fine

Only druids and amas with hots are a problem.

The character easily EASILY hits max res and has a damage absorbing shield, that passively fills itself back up. Never were hotspurs allowed on sorc in gm duels in 1.10 😂😂

es sorc cant compete at all in this tourny bro
we allow chars to stack 400 cold resist vs an es sorc
es sorc cant get close to enough - cold resist to even fight anyone
then when it faces a trap sin has no chance
only char it can maybe beat is a necro???

es sorcs are not fine
