Duelling & Diablo 3 > Rules & development
Ruleversion 1.2
Spirals:
Hey guys, we present you in this topic the ruleversion 1.2 for the coming rule season.
First of all I'd like to thank the ruledevelopers (Darke, Jointit, Keen, Captain, Kaio, Rogh and Alexwitt) for their input and testing. We have also read through the public discussion and taken some ideas/points from there.
These rules you read here are a draft. They aren't final yet. I will make them final on 12 march. We will take input to edit the final rules up until 11 march 23.59.
Some points which are yet under discussion are:
- Haunt and the relative strenght of WD; we have implemented some rules regarding WD but we aren't completely sure yet. Additional testing will be done so we can take these findings for the final 1.2 version.
- Taking up the rules regarding walkovers / some sort of description - explanation of the procedure into ruleversion 1.2
- DH vs Wizard duel is still up for revision aswell.
What else? We would like to see your (constructive) feedback (this means explanations) on the rules. We haven't banned any items and try to get balance by not allowing certain skills in certain match ups. You probably see a huge buff to the Wizard class. We felt this was needed.
Here we go:
--- Quote ---The first and foremost goal we try to achieve is having a user-friendly environment in which you have good and quality duels with like minded people. Other goals are having fun and exploiting the competitive aspect of the game. To ensure this we expect every participant to behave properly and apply the following duelling rules during D3CL duels.
If a problem (a disagreement over the rules, someone entering town without accepting the round loss) occurs we expect you to work it out together. If that doesn’t work out you can request an official D3CL judge. Please notice that the decision a judge makes is leading and you have to accept it. Judges cannot judge themselves.
General Rules:
- Duels are held in the “Scorched Chapel” area accessed via an act one game.
- Duels are held in “Inferno” modus.
- The duel only starts when both sides have said go.
- The small island inside the scorched chapel area is forbidden ground. Actively using this island will result in loss of rounds and/or the complete match.
- You cannot enter town or leave the game during a round, if that happens the person who enters town or leaves the game looses the round.
- We expect the duels to be active combat. Repeatingly avoiding the duel will result in a loss.
- Duels are played with best of 9.
- Round(s) resulting in a draw count as +1 round for both sides. (f.e. 2-3 become 3-4). If draws put you past 9 rounds you continue until there is a winner (it will count as 5-4 win).
- You must play your duels using the character you signed up with for the League or Tournament.
Class specific rules:

GREEN2172:
Very good rules for me, but I see some problems:
1. DH: "In duels versus the “Wizard” the skill “Preparation” with rune “Battle Scars” is not allowed." A lot of wizards kill me with 1-2 hits from Storm Armor ( I have 99k hp), and we cannot hit them from close range because of it without Battle Scars, so this rule with result in spamming autoaim arrows from looong distance. It's not a good idea, good wizard can now easily kill good dh, for example kaio and divalo (or delivio?) playing very good and use strange tactics.
2. "In duels versus the “Demon Hunter” the Witch Doctor is not allowed to use “Summon Zombie Dogs” or “Gargantuan”.
It shoud be "to use “Summon Zombie Dogs” AND “Gargantuan" or only ban zombie dogs. This rule now make no change, because it's immpossible to kill WD with 2x near death skills with invisible + zombi dogs who spam autoaim massacre DPS Haunt;) If they will not have zombie dogs they gonna wear more armor/ress/hp and less DPS and then fight should be equal. If zombie dogs will stay then nothing in fight against WD will change. DH cannot attack from long distance with any autoaim skills or normal, because everything is taking by dogs, and WD can attack us from long distance, better then screen resolution with Haunt. So now situation is simply: we MUST stay face to face with WD because of his dogs, and he can attack us everywhere with autoaim 500%+dps skills;) I losed with some "trash" geared WD only because their skills, without zombi dogs only good WD can still win, not all specially for PvP made WD with paragon 0 and trash items.

KNHO:
I will fight some WD´s today, so what is it exactly now in DH vs WD?
No "Zombiedogs" and no "Gargantuan"? Or "Zombiedogs or Gargantuan"?
If they got the choice, then i totaly agree with Green it´s very hard to deal with.
