Are you on East sc Nl? do you hate casters ruining melee duels? Look here!

[Atticus]

Now that i've gotten your attention :)


Me, and some of my friends are starting a new clan, simply called [Legion]
I personally am starting a subdivision, The "Roman Legion", to participate in Legitimate, private and foremost Melee ONLY duels. If you wish to hear more, or participate, Drop me an instant message/pm or post here.


And just so there's no confusion, here's a list of things that arent melee but people think they are:
1:Any sorceress (Naysayer) "but there are melee sorceresses!" (me) "who'se damage comes from enchant and pretty much nothing else. Bzzt, thank you, try again."
2:Any amazon except the 1/100 jab amazon (naysayer) "But charged strike is melee!" (Me) Uh..No...it's elemental..and it doesnt miss. Next!"
3: Whirlwind (Both barbarian and chaos assassin) (naysayer) "but it's a melee attack that does physical damage!" (Me) "Riiight, and unless both people are using it, it's completely unbalanced."
4: Smite (No. Just..No. No smite. Period.)
5: Rabies/Fireclaw (naysayer) "But they have to hit you for it to work" (Me) "And when they do, all the damage is elemental. Next!"


If you've read this and have thought to yourself "Wow, he's so very wrong! i think my ww assassin who only uses venom and mindblast to kill is -SO- a melee character!" this clan is not for you. If you came away thinking "This sounds great, finally, games that wont be ruined by Ebaying palapk members, idiotic fireball sorcs and bone necros and the oh-so-pointless fist/hammerdin"
We've got a spot for you. strap on your valor and lets duel!

If enough positive feedback is voiced, a webpage will be made within a few weeks :)


One final rule, your equipment/charms must be checked for you to be allowed entry. if you think using 39 duped 3/20/20 charms is legitimate dueling..well, you can be darned sure you wont be dueling with us :lol:

Oo, I'd like to join, though the only melee character I have is a melee Necromancer, if that's okay. East NL SC, right?

Booooooooooo......

Build a non-enchanting melee sosa and you're in. in fact, build a non-enchanting melee sorc that can kill my zealot and i'll give you a highrune.

No offence meant at all, but i thought id put up a small criticism of what i see this as becoming. basically with that set of rules, the only thing that will ever thrive there is a botd user, as all other advantages have been taken from other melee builds. paladins and barbs, more specifically fanat zealots and conc barbs will prolly be close to all of this group. sure other builds might arrive, but how fun will it be to die in a matter of seconds every single duel. :/

now...good luck with the group, although id like to not see that (reminds me of .09 duels :grrr: ) thats just what im forseein from here.

[Atticus]

you'd think that wouldnt you? just so happens i wouldnt put a botd on my paladin even if you gave him a 415% one free. i'll stick with my good ol fury scourge and my eth razor's edge. botd isnt everything y'know. But are you going to tell me that charged strike is fair? uh-uh.

[Metroid_01]

Damn, got a page not found error....here comes try three.
ok im trying no tto be rude here, but i think that you missed my point in the last post. the BOTD thing was more of a "Grouping"...the main users are paladins, barbs, and wolf druids. this is pretty much where it ends with few exceptions. sure some builds shouldnt be here, charged doesnt need to hit to do damage, smite never misses. but restricting everything that isnt a "melee physical damage tank" type character does cause its own problems. this is similar to back in .09 where you really only saw barbarians amazons and sorceresses. this will be the same deal. the monotony of seeing a barbarian and knowing he will be a concentration barb just seems so boring. theres no chance that you might meet that elusive build, and even if you did it would prolly be some odd melee paladin variant that u destroyed anyways.

i can completely understand why you would want this uniformity, but the rules do limit this group and it could be much more if it wasnt as restricted.

and yes i feel most elemental melee builds are fair, you try switching some res and that 20k enchantress isnt so fearsome anymore.

[Atticus]

Meh..i've lost the will to argue. mods, please close this thread, and sticky it, as a reminder not to ever dream anymore. might as well lay on my belly and let javazons and necromancers ruin duels forever. *sigh*

[Metroid_01]

aah atticus you are so evil. i was just offering my opinion. i dont mean to ruin this for you at all. im not saying dont do it, i was just expressing what i thought would move it on somewhat. i really didnt wish to annoy you...or whatver i may have done there. bleh you make me feel so bad. :hanky:
sorry :(

like i said i understood where u came from. just it felt limited to me.
i really didnt want to cause any sort of argument, just give off my opinion.
i do feel bad that you believe im trying to mess up your clan here because i truely am not. and before i just go on rambling the same apologies again and again....ill shut up. :hanky:

[BSU]

Well, if you think 20K fire damage from enchant is alot (max 95% resist), think about someone maxxing sacrifice and synergies witch gives a total of over 1200% ed (max 50% resist). With an eth BotD thundermaul, it's posible to do about 17K damage. After resists, enchant can do ~1000, sacrifice after resists can do ~8500. With 2 dwarf stars you get 30% fire absorb. I've seen many high level charicters with over 1000 life, but not 1 even half of 8500 life.

[OrderOfKings]

Atticus this sounds like fun to me although i still need to get certain things for my zealot.

One question...Exile allowed or not?

[Atticus]

Wells if i can get some support for this and enough interested members, then i'll go on with this. Exile is allowed, Yes, as are draculs. And Sure, someone could do all that damage with a tmaul...but they would be long dead before they got a hit in. :P

By the way, i wont really have to be checking charms for a while....3/20/20's are being MASS PURGED! along with the 290s! REJOICE!
