I took a long hiatus from D2, but used to melee a ton back in 2006/2007, so count me in! Will be a while to get a char together, so don't add me to the ladder yet. Nemo-dude (name tbd), Zealer

There seems to be quite a few rule changes since I last did melee and I was reading some of the old threads, Exile is banned but dracs aren't? Lifetap from Dracs allowed?

Would really appreciate if someone has time I can ask them a few questions about typical builds now with the new bans, plan on making a zealer (used to always be eth shaft+Exile or levi+exile+coa etc.) But that has seemed to change.

Challenge System

Want to be added to the ladder? Post your Character name - Class *do not post your account names in this thread*
You may challenge up to two ranks ahead of yourself until you've become top three. You must then challenge one at a time
As the challenger, you must private message the challenged and then post the challenge in this thread
If you cancel your match then you must wait 12 hours until you can challenge someone else
If you lose your challenge then you must wait 48 hours to re-challenge the same person
The duel must be completed within three days and if not then your challenge will be nulled
If you cannot complete your challenge on time then it is the responsibility of the challenged to post why it wasn't completed
If none of you post why it wasn't completed then both parties will receive a dodge
You will be removed from the ladder if you accumulate two consecutive dodges

>> Our intention is to update the ladder's rules as new imbalances are identified. This is a community ladder and we will go with what the majority want. <<

The ladder is officially active. The initial rankings you see above were generated randomly, the rankings will sort themselves out naturally.

Please re-read the rules and PM me or
