Lol ofc its usefull, Fcr for tele, 60 Ed, str / Dex, Fhr, Viso, 2 sk, res, what more you need for BvA lol ^^

NN def at BvA, and 400 ping isnt the biggest problem

The question is, which part of these rules should logically be changed? Everything I’m seeing is personal preference and not basic gm rules?

The rules I use are adapted from Marvel's rule set which generally is the most accepted one in the community

Most is just difference in wording between his and this with a few exceptions. There are a few issues with above one and i'm not gunna get into all but here's a few:

- Life replenish is capped at 40 (exception of 52 for barbs with angelics and double hoto switch+dungos for barb)
dual hoto+dungo is 53 rep

Barbarian:
- bvc's may use two ravens with under 400 cold resist
310 is more commonly used as the limit esp since anya bug has been fixed

Conflicting info (Doom is banned, Doom allowed on sorc)

no restriction on plague/poison zon

partial list of banned items (guardian angel?) better to set rules and let people interpret what items are ok

- Oak & heart of wolves charges are allowed

wasn't oak charges banned on east back in the days?

ya they were, but everyone I've talked to since coming back has said it became GM after some time. Not everyone is happy about it lol

yeah when i came back it was allowed if your opponent agreed and kinda awkward to ask about. in pub duels and friendlies everyone used it but for tournaments people would often say no. a couple other things were like that including arrow pooling, so i took the discretion out and made rules the same for all

One off thought here. Shoot me if you must.

We always shoot for balance within reason.

1 pt mb only on sins O_o

(I have not tested or did shit so I am just spitballing.)

It will limit the swirlies a lot, but not eliminate them.

I like the idea. however, I think more baseline testing needs to be done. Run a bunch of tournies and see how things play out, because today for example, a couple mediocre sins really didn't do too well at locking anyone down. I would like to see some higher caliber players duel.
P.S. miss you Erik, hope all is well.

1 pt mb would be good for fpk team duels

but as for 1v1s, if the sin is just refreshing swirls every 4-5 secs then its going to be a pointless change L

plus 1 pt mb sins = max fireblast sins and since there is no ias cap so far you can spam fireblast super fast xD

Miss you old friend. I’m on d2r just dipping my toes in at present. I am looking forward to getting to play again with y’all.




I think that’s a 90% accurate point on 1v1, my thought is that it will take away from laying traps in the mean time. Definitely needs some testing. That sounds wild on the fb
