I know that it was suggested but it's not going to happen. A lot of guys can't/wouldn't get new torches. We an just suggest that people do and if they do they get a prize or something :lol:

No torch would be the only way to ensure pure non-cast.

Torch from hellfire does a fuckton more damage than any other chance to cast item in the game (which makes it absolutely retarded to ban something like phoenix and not hellfire torch, imho). Someone using a 5% torch would do a lot less damage in a duel than someone using a 25% torch, just because of the extra damage granted by 25% torch and the opportunity for more torch kills.

Now, if everyone could use a 5% torch, that would be great, but since it won't happen we need to be realistic about it: 25% torch would give an unfair advantage against 5% torch and torch in general gives an unfair advantage in melee (especially since some classes might have max res in NM due to class skills or common builds [barbs for example] whereas other classes [paladins] generally have less than max fire res even in NM).

So, there are really only two options that make sense: ban torch or accept the extra damage potential from hellfire cast.

You can use c/c with no torches the same way everyone used c/c with no torches since c/c was invented before torches were ;)

My stash is always filled with tokens lol.

And yeah, I would personally prefer a torch ban over anything else.
