Havent played any d2 pvp for a while but was under the impression that abyss warlocks just insta-kills everyone now. Is there any reason why that would not be the case here?

Are we assuming he chooses enigma to teleport at the Theoretical lowest frame rate with 0 fcr so he doesn't get one blizzarded from the first time he sees a sorc?

Or that he choose a void weapon as his single item and does a respectable abyss damage but has to run around Moor with no FRW?

Maybe blade warp will carry!

i assumed kiras/coh/obsession - obsession in the case of the warlock - anything else seems insane? if you know youre playing against someone who can have elemental damage that is. I guess oneshotting with blizzard is kinda likely but again - with absolutely no experience of pvp with abyss, it seems like abyss wouldbe much faster/easier to hit with - blizzard you can get unlucky and not hit him, and you kind of have to target lock. Abyss you can place it in front or on top and always instakills?

Are you going to film it so interested folks can have a look?

Are you sure a 20-24skill blizzard oneshots a player with 70res at this point?

EDIT: just checked a calculator lvl 24 blizz with synergies does 3-3.2k and -115 res from lvl 24 cold mastery should mean he oneshots. Interesting. You have convinced me :) obsession wielding sorceresses i guess

Nice, I will try and get as much footage as I can

Also if the warlock chooses a Kiras to try and stop blizz, he hamstrings his own damage badly :D

We are dueling in Nightmare also, if that helps anyone decide

Last question I have is are we locked into the single item we pick, or can we swap items between matches? e.g. I put on a ss versus a barb, but then I throw on a raven for my next match against a blizz sorc

I LOVE the idea of a swap before any duel, then locked in the Moor after that

So yea - you could and honestly I think SHOULD try and grab a Storm for a barb match up - maybe a respc too in that case

When I seed the tournament, people probably will NOT tell me their character tho - so it's up for debate exactly how much preparation will factor in

I think now that you said u can have 4 juves in your belt, balances it out with the person that chooses a belt with 16 juvs

I still think 12 more juves is game-breaking?

You can pick a belt as your one item, I can see you believe it's game breaking

Break the tournament with the belt my man! Next time I run it we'll have to limit juvs and think fondly of Fuzzy breaking the first tournament
