Why no hell rush?

It easy to do (especially with people offering g.rushing on this very forum for a low cost), just takes time, and it allows us use our existing characters.

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

hell rush is depends on person's choice really. but its simply down to this

1) not all people have access or ways to glitch rush.
2) remaking a char is a pain in the backside.
3) a properly made char should be investing pts given in normal. you may get less dmg, but that is offset by less life. also all doable chars that can be done is effective in noram rush only, with exceptions to lv9 duels. in fact some chars get rather unfair dis/advantage even at same level from those extra skills. for example, my windy is now doing 800 max dmg. this can easily become 1000+. I already have unblockable attack that pierces stuns and kb sometimes with very limited mans to reduce dmg.
extra 200 dmg means extra 60 life off your red bubble. consider that most llders at lv 30 have around 800+ to depending on what char but nothing too hight. 60 is a lot.
same applied to lv 18. hell rushed zealots (most dominant force in lv18) do so much more dmg. 8 skills = 12x8 from sacrifice = 96% enhanced dmg output. this can also go to charge/might which result in rather brokenly huge dmg output. effectively you can one hit kill in lld if hell rushed with just normal gears.

this is my opinions, and even if you allow hell rush I will prolly stick to my ways of norm rush cuz its easier overall :)
i wil use my hf chars for hld (eventually that is!)

PS adding: BA/cyclone recast. can be considered very bm @ lv 30. not sure in lv 18 tho don't think dmg is sufficient to deal any serious harm..but need opinions on this

PPS might wanna start making new thread ? :)

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

no hell rush for what lvls?
And if there will be a lvl49, we should really discuss the rulings....

and about hell rushes in lower lvls, we maybe can orginazie some ppl to rush in classic, there it isnt a big problem (i have 1 classic sorc, so i can do it as well)

Maybe I should make a lld char *shrugs* I will see. I may need to do some trading.

Never done pvp before :smiley:

Anyone got any suggestions for a cheap dueler level 30 or under

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

if hell rush is allowed, it should only be for lv9 on lld (anything 31 and above is not lld, its mld) who tends to have very low life and really need that extra life.

and as for guides try stickied or randomly floating guides in pvpv forums. cookie cutters are fairly easy to make and eefective (fb, hammer, zealot, charger, windy, boner....the usual suspects)

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

Several questions I guess

What is damage reduction capped at?
What is absorb capped at?
When would possible dates for the tourney be?
Is there a possibility of team duels?

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

The Equip you fight the first duel with is the equip you should fight all fights with.
So no swapping angelics for soj depending on who I am fighting? :cry:


I am assuming weapon swap is OK?

I decided to go for a Fury Druid, if I can get him going intime, I will join

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

If there is no Cap @ abosrb, nearly every elemental caster is useless;
and there shoulb be a ban @ mld on guardian (at least vs caster)

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

i might make a lld char just for this, since i have nothing else to spend my runes on atm ^^ but first i need to know which lvl the chars should be? 9, 18, 29, 30 or 49? i personally prefer lvl 9 :)

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

cap on abs should be 1 piece only, ban spurs period. there really isn't much abs in lld anyway. only exceptions are sol'd shield/helms, rock fleece, Soe which all can be won at same time. (kill damn smitty)

also gear switches...depending on char you will need some restrictions changed. you cannot allow a wolf to fight barb and sorc with same equip. barb can't fight hammer and zealot with same weapon too and be effective. sometimes swapping that SoJ in Lv30 for others mean something.

this is rather sensitive issue for some chars. it would be better to post their standard gear that they wil start ANY duel with for first match, and gear changed allowed for 2nd and 3 rd. (i.e. a nec can have viper magi as standard but depending on char they can swap out for stealth. same applied to shield, which can spawn with 2 pb and spirit/spear but no block, in which case they willl need shield for melee)

PS ban hammers :grin: sorry i meant nerf them at least to lv 29 or lower. :rolleyes: they are freakishly strong and regens with insight.

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

Lvl 9/18/30 is whats goin on.

\Nerf on hammerdins will be NO insight. (they can still use medi themselves though)

1 piece abs sounds good but no ban on spurs.

AND I WILL ONLY SAY THIS FOR THE LAST TIME.

YOU MUST FIGHT EACH MATCH WITH THE SAME EQUIP BUT BETWEEN THE best of 3 MATCES YOU CAN CHANGE ALL YOU WANT FOR THE NEXT ONE. FFS

Re: The Etf Dueling Tournament 2008.

ban on insight seems good enough for now..well there are no hammies yet ^^

please do reconsider on banning spurs tho. at lv 30, an average FB-er doing 2000 dmg, will have its dmg reduced to 85 dmg after 75 res and pvp penalty. its not exactly hight. 95 res makes this dmg 17. this literally kills all fire builds at lv 9 above. its bad enough that its gives +to fire resists..

however i have not mentioning nokozan, which is debatable. since there is no real elemental gears that increase max resist, i think this should also be banned as well as spurs but then agains its not as bad (comparing with dmg versus spurs, FB effectively have double dmg agsinst a person with nokozan which in my booked seems not bad..still crippling as it may be)
