No resummoning of pets if they died.
Can't leave the platform in the area.

Level Restrictions: 56-60 Only.

no fears, WHIRLs, Gfluxs, mez/charms on players,

Guides and GM's are considered judges and therefore restricted from being attacked. Anyone found attacking a GM or Guide may be banished from the Arena or death touched without warning.

The Arena is off limits to unauthorized PvP 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the event. This is to ensure that the contestants and spectators are safe.

Anyone who casts any spells (including Bard songs) during a match can be death touched and removed from the Arena.

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.

Spectators shall not interfere with this event. Severe penalties are used only when directly attacking a player involved in the match, attacking a judge during the match, or healing a player involved in a match.

The P99 staff may limit the amount of people in the zone to control conditions of lag or frame rate for the participants. The event shall start open seating, but may close off at any time. The Event Staff may use any sort of decision on who stays and who leaves to ensure the event is a success.

AoE Spells ARE allowed in game. This has the potential of killing off some of the younger spectators. If you are killed by one of these spells, please wait for a GM or Guide to give you a summons into the Arena.

---------------------------------------------

General Combatant Rules

The top of the throne, in the throne, or behind the throne is off limits to the combatants during the matches. The four firepots are also off limits to the combatants. Use of these areas in match combat will lead to contestants being disqualified.

All participants will be debuffed before the match.

The event staff, Due to the amount of contestants, may decide to split the combat area in half. The arena in this case will be divided making two battle areas for 2 matches to be performed at one time.

In the event that the combat exceeds 15 minutes of real time, then the Event Staff may cast an AoE Snare spell on the contestants, and the contestants are to remain snared till end of match.

Any use of exploits or bugs will result in immediate disqualification from the event.

The following spell types may not be used in this Best of the Best Series: Any form of Fear (Charm is ok if directed at a pet). Any type of Blind spells or spells with a blind component. Gravity Flux or Invert Gravity. Any type of gate or translocation spell (Example: shadow step).

I am not so sure. Pillage is unresistable and right clicks are not allowed to keep debuffs up. So recant+pillage to strip GRM/rune followed by tash and I think nukes will land just fine (esp with Haynar's x3 tash debuff!).

PVP isn't really my thing, but its cool to see this finally happening!

Pillage is not unresistable, dispell line is pretty fucked. Is it outright combat or are there mobs to mez or something?

-Catherin-
10-07-2014, 02:34 PM
other players being allowed in the arena seems to suggest there will not be mobs to mez.

on live the enchanter botb was closed to the public because the public would interfere with those aggressive mobs.

this also creates a problem where nobody can really prove exactly how the enchanter botb was run, because the only people that witnessed it were the participants. Maybe that is why it is being done this way. (and why it took them so long to do it here)

spectators should expect to remain outside of the giant arena door. we will not be allowing players beyond that point.

I actually played in the rodcet BotB, made it into the semi finals.

Memory is a little fuzzy though.

There were mobs on both sides of the participants, running parallel to the throne, with a short aggro range. I don't remember how many. Mobs were blue to level 60, but did moderate damage, I'd estimate them to be level 45ish (lowest blues to a 60).

Contestants would stand between the 2 rows of mobs. Going a little bit to either side would aggro the mobs.

please ban rod or this is kind of a stupid botb

..from reading the ruleset, this looks like a race to dispell, tash, and nuke each other to death?

I mean, we're enchanters, where's the wildcard?

I got 3rd on nameless botb as a 59 chanter with primal brawl stick. I used feedback + troll form for regen + slam and meleed everyone to death. Chanters (on live) with full blue diamond resist would resist every single nuke with or without tash so it all came down to beat fests.

Lol i even still have the email from the chanter botb being rescheduled because it happened to be on sept 11 2001 until some other global event in an asshole country had to overshadow it :

I am sorry you missed the event, but we did post the rescheduled time on the
Enchanter schedule on the Everquest page. As well we posted an MOTD, and did
some broadcast server wide during the day. We made it as public as possible
on our sites.

I got bored with my 60 enc, my 50 shm/mnk that i had parked at 50 so i could level in Velious.

I made a necro and remembered they were underpowered chanters.

I made a bard and realized I hated bards.

I made a SK and realized i was really just wanting to play an enchanter again.

So I deleveled to 16. Unfortunately I really haven't had the urge to log on in awhile so my chanter is stupidly sitting at level 19 or something.

Touché. If I ever got BiS Velious gear, that would be interesting to level down as low as possible and level up. Maybe I'll try that on Morrell Thule server.

So, I just bought a port and ran over to the arena and there are NPCs outside that say DO NOT ENTER ARENA OR YOU WILL DIE.

What? We're not allowed to actually watch the BOTB? Incredibly not classic.

Thumbs down.

It's been said from the beginning that no spectators were allowed, am I wrong?

I wasn't really following it. But I specifically paid someone to port my Monk (FD, so no risk of aggro) and ran over to the Arena to find out I couldn't watch. Now I gotta get a port back.

Just a bit frustrating. The Twitch stream was too laggy for me to watch it.

Edit: The front page says that you can't enter the Arena door, but in-game there were NPCs outside the zone in that said you'd die if you zoned in.

Am I correct in thinking that the lave guardians were manually triggered to path to the center of arena, and had huge aggro range ? Or was it a script to trigger them ?

Thanks for the fun !
And btw my name is Kanaar (not Kendaar) ;)
