It sounds like maybe that isn't an issue anymore for porting. Still, at best you'll get raised eyebrows and at worst you'll get outright refusal when you tell someone they need to duel to get/receive a buff. And there's a good reason: there has been at least one player (and he wasn't even PvP-flagged) who went around asking people to duel supposedly so that he could use his OT Hammer, but then he killed his opponent instead.

Even so, if you got anything at all out of being red-named on Blue all that might still be worth it ... but as others have said, there are virtually no such characters beyond level three. You'd be enduring that hardship for no actual benefit ... well, other than being an extra unique and special snowflake. But perhaps that's your real motivation here?
I think you basically nailed it.

My biggest issue as a Barbarian Shaman is going to be not (easily or conveniently) being able to buff or heal people...but like you said, someone could /duel and then zone... I don't mind the extra challenge as far as everything else is concerned.

One more thing to consider: if your shaman ever gets high enough to raid you will have a problem. You would slow your entire raid down a lot if you tried to buff 10+ people with focus/stamina when every one of those 10+ times both parties involved had to start and then cancel a duel.

Heck, even without any PvP flag I still get overwhelmed sometimes after a wipe when I'm the only Shaman.

However, I'm pretty sure there's a quest you can do in Qeynos to remove the flag, so I think you could keep it for now and only remove it when you start raiding.

Oh, I definitely thought about that. Raid buffing isn't really on my plate so much; I'm sure I can be useful in some way though, however niche it may be. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
