    Lol @ Dem rules

    The game is fundamentally not balanced around 1v1s so rules are very important. But equally so, its important to have well thought out rule sets that enable all playstyles while banning out the things that break match ups. This set is pretty tried and true. Although I don’t see any for not changing cps between fights hehe, even though that should be understood.

    Good luck EU hope you have a great tourney.

    I find it very unlikely anyone would know if siphoner has any points in it, but maybe there's an add-on for that!

    -not like I can participate
    -not like I'm against the idea
    -not putting anyone down

    Just find the rules chuckle worthy; a big part of me goes, "hey ZoS, paying attention to what's banned? - could be a slight indication of OPness, maybe worth a look?"

    If siphoner gets applied to you, it shows in your debuffs... people running some buff/debuff trackimg add-on can screenshot and post Immage to discord in no time. So that one is easy

    That's cool, wish console had a better debuff tracker (or personalized)

    If I were to participate (like if I could) the only rules that kinda bummed me out was the pets and wings (NB rules make me raise an eyebrow); maybe a few sets, meditate is another eyebrow raiser (I wonder if that build I saw is responsible for this kind of action)

    I feel if it's bannable in a high stakes tourney (looking at you earthgore) maybe it's a bit on the OP side?

    Also surprised no cloak rules

    Wings cause many stalemates, and pets are overpowered in duels.

    Those rules clearly favor some classes/setups way more than others.

    And no sorcs last time? No wonder with those rules and now with the shield changes and not even pets allowed.. :D

    I guess you want to keep it a Nightblade tournament. If there was some petsorcs and dks were also able to use their Wings whenever they wanted i would come watch it and be entertained. Now? Nah, sounds lame and set for certain classes/builds only.

    There should be only 1 rule. If a round ends in both being up when time runs out, both are out. That would make troll builds not good since needs finishing power.

    Who cares if someone gets a kill with Zaan or something.. more entertaining than watching an Incap contest. ;)

    they still get CCd through shimmering, wings reflects CC as well + I highly doubt any magwarden will win the tournament (or even participate as one) and stamwarden cant have 100% uptime on it.

    yea Waffen is console so his opinion isnt terrible. We PC masters take stuff like that for granted.

    I will say the EU rules are better than the USA rules, feels like there is more breathing room for builds. I never duel on NA because everything is either banned or all the cheese is allowed and has become a meme of sorts lol.

    That is a good point. Duration fights, and best out of 3 should determine winner.

    dumbest idea I've heard. that would mean you can just create an unkillable tank and knock you and your opponent out of the tourney.

    Wings spam literally stops the fight from progressing. Shade & Cripple prevent a wingless DK from ever getting in melee, which also stops the fight from progressing.

    Some of you are way out of touch. The goal of rules is to ensure that DUELS END IN A REASONABLE TIME WITH A CLEAR VICTOR.

    Just for argument's sake, I feel that limits playstyles and builds.

    What if a player prefers a tanky build that utilizes an opponent's mistake to win? That takes time; unlike many glass cannon type builds that are more akin to whom hits their CC first?

    Also curious as to what's the difference between frost staff reach vs cripple?

    Also I would say any class without native access to defile is at a big disadvantage

    I see alot of people mentioning the ban to pets
    I have banned pets from my tourneys due to the reason of how targeting works in the game, people can clutter inside a pet and make sure none of the enemies skills hit him/her
    A good example of that is when a petsorc goes inside his Attro and is untargetable

    Another example of that is Ranged vs Ranged duels where the player who owns a pet can just stand behind his pet and take little damage
    Tab target in ESO is unreliable and doesnt go through pets

    That is what we are trying to avoid, experienced players with somehow tanky builds will never kill eachother
    Its a common thing for a duel to last for an hour or two between 2 top tier players
    Its too easy to make yourself unkillable in ESO
    We are trying to discourage that and have a fun and skillfull night

    And no, in a Glasscannon vs Glasscannon fight theres lots more to it than just "whoever gets their burst down first, wins"
    Players have to watch out for incoming damage, predict your enemies next move and exploit the burst windows youre given
    Even a Glasscannon player is almost unkillable if he doesnt want to be killed

    "Also I would say any class without native access to defile is at a big disadvantage"
    Yes this is exactly what Ive been talking about in my answer above, Defile plays a big part in duels due to how hard to kill people are without Defile on them, what youre mentioning now here is just how our current meta works
    Thankfully things like Reverb, Shifting Standard and Defile poisons exist

    It´s the same against a sorc though.

    Not like you can burst some 28k hp build with just curse fury and meteor. Which rules out all sorc builds that don´t run pulse.

    And then realisticly - which dk dies to pulse + curse alone?

    Completely agreed. Wings is just a stupidly unbalanced skill for 1v1's. It really makes me laugh hard when some forum hero comes and posts garbage like: "Just use curse", "just use concealed weapon" or "then don't use ranged attacks". These people are just completely clueless on how abilities synergize with each other. You can't just slap on random abilities and expect to have a chance.

    Even worse are the people that say "Yea you are just being countered, live with it. You can't have it all", or those that compare it to cloak. I mean it's not like I can use cloak while I am hammering on you, and at the same time preventing you from using any skill on your front bar to apply counter pressure without damaging yourself...
