In original best of best you were allowed to use right clickable items also, as i camped pumice stones for the right click dispell. Best of best you should allow players to use whatever is at their disposal and see how creative they can be. Im still confused how you can disallow an item you need to obtain epic for monk, but turn around and allow epic, this makes no sense. Honestly you should allow 2hb, 1hb, range, whatever. Monks do 2hb so if you want the best monk you want one that knows he can 2hb. Any smart dueler will 2hb now you have effectively made it so best of best monk winnner will infact prolly not be best monk dueler, which is what the tournament is suppose to demonstrate.

What exactly would you dispell in a monk on monk duel?

You may be thinking of Test of Tactics, which allowed pretty much most clickable items, including pumice, soulfires, conflag wands, AoNs, golem wands, etc. Some of the BotBs did allow certain right clickable items (such as Druid epic, Druid Drones of Doom bracer/arms).

Fungis were originally allowed for the warriors, monk, rogue, paladin BotBs, but Lady_D put a stop to that after the immense amount of time it added to fights. Spectators, nor staff, want to watch people run in circles for an hour or four. Also if each person has one, it is a wash.

Your argument about best dueler using a 2hb, when looking at the T-Staff for monks in particular, it comes down to who procs first. Then it is just a matter of who the RNG likes better that particular hour.

how about you quit your bitching? and ill see you in the arena. BTW they are limiting fighting weps to level the playing field based on pvp skill and not just big uber stick skill.. otherwise i would just keep you stun locked with my t staff the entire fight and would expect to hear you cry x2 at that point.

Spectators shall not use /shout for any reason, but use /ooc instead. This is so that those involved in the match can use /shout, and the /ooc channel can be turned off to reduce distraction to the contestants involved. Use of /shout at anytime can result in a silence command being issued, rendering the player unable to use any form of communication, or banishment from the Arena.

Thanks for this update!

So is it fists only or is 1hb allowed? That answer to Jj was kinda ambiguous.

What time can we expect the events? Which classes will go first on each day?

IMO you should just allow the banishment spell for mages to give those sans epic pet a shot.

I was really looking forward to competing in the mage BotB but now that you are allowing epic pets there is basically no reason for anyone without the epic to attempt to enter the competition. You had previously set the rules as not allowing the epic pet because of this very reason. For the last month I have gone ahead in good faith and been assiduously arming my mage accordingly.

Now suddenly they are allowed, and anyone without a spare 200,000pp or in one of the giant guilds need not apply. I would just like to say to you Ambrotos, there goes thousands and thousands of platinum and hours and days of work based on the rules you had originally posted. Not only have you cost me that, but now it's completely pointless to enter the competition that I had so been looking forward to.

Congratulations mage BotB winner, you're the best mage who owns an epic. Many others would have had a very good shot at it.
