Absorb and resistance
There isn't any "stacked res" limit so far, you may use as many stacked res as you want (Check for Barbarians though)
Paladin
Some paladins are built with maxed res auras, others with Holyshield. That's why we decided to change the rules for paladin using a build based on light aura.
Light absorb (HS build): Thundergod or Wisp or +10 % max light res from your stuff.
Light absorb (Aura build): 5 % max res from the stuff.
Cold absorb : 1 Raven or Snowclash or + 10 % max cold res from your stuff.
Fire absorb : Hotspurs or 80 res + a Dwarf, or 15 % max fire res from your stuff.

Even though druids can use Cyclon Armor, it doesn't affect the abs & res rules.
Light absorb : Thundergod or Wisp or +10 % max light res from your stuff.
Cold absorb : 1 Raven or + 10 % max cold res from your stuff.

Cold absorb : 2 Ravens or Snowclash or + 10 % max cold res from your stuff.

Preventive measures against cheaters and lamers
Basically, every well-known cheaters are banned from the Tournament already, but some players can decide to break the rules when they start losing, however there are several preventive measures to bust 'em, read it attentively, it's important.
- You may ask your opponents to show you their full inventory and their stuff if you have any doubts concerning the legitness of their stuff. If you do, the player musn't go to stash before, or rejoin the game, he must do it instantly, and breaking that rule will just end up in a permanent ban from the tournament for the faulting team.
- You may call a "Judge", actually, he will judge wether a team is playing BM or not, and give penalities etc. The judges will be found asap!.
- You may ask your opponents to make a screenshot of their screen, with the MAP activated. If a team requests it, you must do it EXACTLY when he's asking for it, don't wait, just do it. If anything is purposley displayed, or if you exit + rejoin the game, you will be banned forever from the tournament.
- If your computer's stats allow you to do that, feel free to take a video of the duels, it will help us to judge wether someone is tmc'ing / cheating or not, it's actually the best proof we can get.
- If you feel like your opponents are drinking or laming / leeching from anything, just call a judge, we will do the job of a lifewatcher.
