Congratulations to the winners! The new location was nice, by the way.
@NightbladeMechanics Towards the end of the final duel there was a moment when you were standing inside the northern storm ulti, were you CC'd or was that on purpose and you just shielded through it - I couldn't see very well, and I was wondering
Congrats on the guild success so far, kena! Tbh ESO needs a fun but competitive duel community to flourish and I'm glad it's Legend picking up that banner again. I only wish I had more playing time to ask for a guild invite, but that wouldn't be fair to other players with more time per week than I do.
Congrats to all winners! Glad to see a magplar on that list lol.

He was demonstrating tanking with resto ult. It was on purpose we were in discord.

Can compare it to last eu tournament with 90% tanks and trolls searching for attention..
Btw, why no start with zero ult?
P.S.: no-CP duels ftw.
CP has been more balanced than non-CP since Morrowind. No reason to cling to non-CP anymore. Time to move on.
We just aren't bothered by ults as much, I guess. It's come up a couple times in rules discussions, but the guild just kind of shrugs and doesn't care. If someone dies to a meteor combo 10 seconds in with full resources, then they're bad. lol
The person who drops a meteor 10 seconds in is also bad.
Legend is developing a unique culture. We don't care who wins fights. Our egos aren't tied to wins and losses and tournaments. Our duel gatherings are full of RP and trolling and laughs, some people come in troll builds, and everyone's just hanging out and chilling. It's pretty amazing to watch. I think this results in more people coming to duels and tournaments in open world builds instead of tryhard ***.
Yes, my Durok's build was originally an open world build, and I've played it in open world plenty.
Or maybe the NA dueling scene is just in a new infancy after being largely dead from Dark Brotherhood through now, and people just haven't put their tryhard cheese pants on yet.I'll do my best to see that it doesn't come to that, though.
Unfortunately EU is 90% custom duel builds so this would be insanely boring for us... Rule of thumb: if they are comfortably over 30k health or with multiple ground aoes, expect atleast a 60% heal debuff. Minor defile poison major defile skills (or durok) and CP stacked in defile = rip non shield stackers.
Back pre 1.5 it was very much.a test of player skill... I cant think of any custom builds but maybe im wrong. These days people literally sustain through ele drain or only heavy weave as stam, in a build vs build fight. Of course skill somewhat matters but build is just so different to the open worpd builds many of us play.
Gl in future tournaments, hopefully the custom meta wont hit na too hard
@Subversus Xbox NA is the same deal on the top end of dueling, I don’t know how many times I’ve been “exposed” by someone running a niche build then caught them in BGs later that day and went 15-1 pugging against their 4 stack.

Would a crafted armor/weapon only rule solve this? If not, what about gear templates? Like a have a tournament in which everyone uses one of, say, 5 sets?

That’s unfair because of class balance issues. Some classes will outperform others under these rules.

This is so true. Sadly it's gotten to an "adapt or lose" loop environment, where if you don't play a custom duel build yourself then you stand no chance, and new players find that out the hard way.
That's also why I usually like to bash on duels from other platforms that claim they're the best or anything. They may be good, but when put against a fully minmaxed duel build (which I've honestly only seen on PC EU) played by a someone that literally only duels, none of them stand a chance.
It's sad that duels have come to this, they're simply not fun anymore, at least not on PC EU.
@NightbladeMechanics 's tournament looked entertaining, the cancer obviously hasn't fully spread from our platform, except for maybe durok's defile stacking against stam but at this point that set being OP is already common knowledge.
