pelicanv - esfb

i'll also be relatively unavailable until next week (some work travel and only on a laptop) - but openly available starting next Monday

hotspurs is GM on vita sorc correct?

The D2 Arena rules are specifically for all vs all, they may not be optimal for sorc v sorc 1v1. I invite debates on this AFTER the tournament (cant change rules if people are already dueling) and we have made a separate sub channel to discuss same/find opponents etc.

In terms of absorb and max resistance I see the following:

- Max resistance is 85%. (Exceptions are listed under class allowances)
- No more than 450 total cold resistance (Bonus displayed on character screen) or 420 total cold resistance with raven frost.
- Max absorb is 20%.
- When using combinations of items to mitigate do not exceed 80% max resistances / 20% absorb to any single element. (exception - tgods)

Sorceress Specific Rules (ie class allowances):
- No max resist or absorb gear when using Energy Shield (Exception: Nightwing's Veil)
- Non-Energy shield sorcs may use +15% max fire resist
- All damage reduced by integer (MDR + PDR) is capped at 20 (ES only)
- Energy shield sorcs (any percent) may not use mana potions
- Energy shield sorcs (any percent) may not use oak sage

Should honestly be 85% max.

Es eats 3-4 fb your dead. Vita can tank like 10+ with hotspurs.

Not sure why es can't use 1 piece sorb.

But will play by whatever rules this tourney is for.

Just an opinion.

Thanks!

my own view is for a ruleset that enables players at the highest level to win on either cold/light or fire. how we get there is the question, but thats a question for another day, in the meantime, hf gl all.

lol. this did not address anything btw. not sure what you were trying to accomplish with this statement. thanks though XD

if theres room - thisisformeonly/Sizzle#1754/vanilla - vita blizz

agreed on hotspurs; it's no fun to see people take 10 fb to the face, just means having to play super defensively for 10 minute duels... not fun for anyone

I am basically saying I cant change rules once a tournament is underway but if you want all elements to have a chance at winning a tournament then there is a place to discuss that for future tournaments (but this topic is not that place).



yes welcome aboard, will update the chart later to reflect same.

inferno is enough

vita sorcs wearing hotspurs can tank 10+ 20k fireballs and like 9 24k fireballs

this is with a very low chance of FHR as well

leads to long boring duels

we should use a slightly different ruleset for this SvS tour

promote offensive play imo



i don't think anyone has dueled yet ferdia
