things can change that easily!

Coming from a PvP server, I agree with the no potion and all stuff for BotB, but as far as gear goes, it's open game and should always be that way, that's why it's called BotB

Yeah my whole strat in rogue BotB involved shooting people with my bow of the underfoot and high dmg arrows. Dumped all my training points into archery and was informed on the day of by Ambrotos that bows weren't allowed. Instead I got a guy from Red, who I almost killed with a nasty poison, and died first round [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't agree with that, all strats/gear should be useable per any class anyway they see fit. I do agree with the no consumables. Gear wise tho...it's BotB if I took the time to level melee as a caster and happened to have an item that most won't have anymore...well that's why it's called BotB

What you agree with or not is different from what the original rules sets included.

Not all of them were followed here and random rules were made the day of, if not mid-fight in some of the "botb" on P99.

The Test of Tactics I, II, and III each had their own rules sets. Some allowed for anything goes - soulfires, reapers, AoNs, potions, others prohibited clickies and illusions.

Here is an announcement regarding the November 2000 Wizard BotB rules:

Lady_Daegarmo,

It seems that you have failed to respond to any comments by the wizard community dealing with the absurd rules that you have proposed for the Wizard Tourney. Is this just disdain for the estate of the wizards, or contempt that we actually care about the skill of our class?

To carry forward the questions asked in the rules listing thread:

Why a "shootout" test? What tactics are there in seeing who has the fastest link to the internet? If spell selection and resist gear is all that is being tested then how can you say this is the Best of the Best?
Why no melee? Isnt this a bit biased considering the number of wizards stating that they maintained their melee skills?
Why no meeting to discuss the rules as happened for the other BoB tourneys?
Seems a bit arbitrary to impose this on the wizard community. Those seem to be the three big questions that you have failed to respond to. The question of clickable items has its defenders based on the abuses in the prior BoB. I dont like it but will conceed it as it _MAY_ unbalance a tactical test. It would be nice if you would be responsive to the wizards who will fight and die for your entertainment.

The wizards are the master of Direct Damage, and doing it very fast. A shoot out style duel tests not only the skills and choices to be used by a wizard, but the situational response as well from the wizard.

This has little to do with connection speed since it is a completely spell casted event. If this were a melee event with players moving, the connection would play a far greater role.
This is a primary casters event. We don't want to see this event turning into the wizard with a GBS and a book fleeing from a wizard with a rod of annihlation for 45 minutes.
If there is a question of what the event should be, then we turn to the players. Verant has numerous GMs and Staff who play wizards, and there knowledge stated that it should be a shoot out duel.

I'm not here to debate what they did back in 2000. They also didn't have FTE's to zonelines, TL boxes, gate to secure FTE's, yada yada back in 2000....lets not open that book.

I'm saying BotB is BotB get with the times and stop looking too much into what i'm saying ><
