(EDIT: They moved my topic here... which is whack af because this is for HCCL - Hardcore Classic Ladder and I know none of them will ever ever see it here... lame.)


Anyway...

I will be hosting two different PvP tournaments this season in the beginning of August (Aug 1-15)

Plenty of time to prepare and hunt for your gear, but I'm also collecting gear to be used as a donations box for people in need.
(Additional details will come later, and anyone signing up to participate should join the HCCL Discord - PM me for the invite link if needed)

Anyway, the main tournament is the level 39 BvB Tournament!

I hosted this tournament in Season 12 and we had a late start, but still got a full 8 man roster,
with a fully community-donated prize pool of 9,000 FG and 3x SoJs (split between 1st-3rd place)

(Ideally we would want a 16-man roster for each tournament, but 8 is fine)

I'm also hosting a Zeal vs Zeal tournament this season!
(Level 30 at the moment, but I might decide to make it level 50. Depends on level of interest, which is none so far.)

Don't be a scared little sissy, sign up for the tournament and build your BvB or ZvZ!

Most of the gear is super easy to come by and fairly cookie cutter.

Let's look at the typical 39 BvB setup:


Naga w/ 110-120 max damage -or- Battle Hammer with 140-160 max damage

(Battle Sword / Dimensional Blade / Twin Axe, etc. can be viable if godly rolled.)

-30 Req Ornate Plate with 40+ Life and Flat Damage Reduction

30/20 Grim Shield -or- Pavise w/ high ED% and Flat DR. (Life Replenish is a nice bonus here)

Angelics Rings and Amulet

Goblin Toes

Rare Gloves with Flat AR, Dex/Str, high ED%

Rare Belt with +STR, 45-60 Life, Life Replenish

Lots of different viable Helm options, such as:
Duskdeep,
Biggin's Bonnet,
Rare Grim Helm w/ High ED% and +Life
3 socket hat w/ Rubies or Amethyst,

And that's basically it!


Otherwise, you'll also want your own BO swap items,

+1 Barb Skills BO Stix,
+1 Barb amulet,
Berserker's Splint Mail
Tarn Helm,
(2 SoJs if you're rich and fancy)

Im making a lvl 30 zealer - sign me up and lmk what gear I can/cannot use t4t

YES!

Are you in the HCCL discord? I can't keep up with everyone,
but ideally everyone in the tournament should be in the Discord,
since that is where I will be officially hosting the tournament
and posting all information and updates about it.


Also, here is a list of Banned items for both tournaments:
(I'm actually considering making it a 100% RULE that you MUST use a Rare Weapon, that's kind of the whole fun and point of PvP in classic imo)

•1) No Swordback Hold shields!
•2) No Cleglaw's Gloves!
•3) No Woestave Halberd!
•4) No General's Tan Do Li Ga Flail!
•5) No Boneflesh Armor!
•6) No RATTLECAGE!
•7) No BONESNAP!
•8) No HUMONGOUS AXE!
•9) No RIPSAW!
