Ive been playing Uo for a few years now, and on many different servers. Fizzling is Definately one of the best PvP features i have ever seen. It allows for a HUGE amount of strategies and tactics behind pvp, and does not make it random. In order to understand the dynamics and the possibilities behind it ill explain it using somethign more simple.

For example Boxing. Now imagine that 2 boxers come into a ring, and their main goal is what? Throwing the biggest punches possible to knock the other person out right? Well thats all and good but whats the other person gonna do? probably block the punch and counter. So now whats the idea behind the fight? the fighters are probably gonna start using their brains and thinking, how do i beat this guy if i cant just punch his face whever i want. Well he does that by timing his punches and moving his body to incorporate his new style of fighting. i.e Dodging, ducking, parrying and intimidating (jabbing to help stop his opponent advance.)

Now thats probably gonna make for a more exciting and strategic fight rather than 2 guys standign toe to toe not blocking hits, and whoever gets knocked out first loses, Sounds exciting i know.


Now how would this effect the style of pvp on this shard?
Well ill list some pros and cons, (feel free to add to this list if you feel necessary, also no stupid ones like. It makes it random, or i dont like fizzle cause i cant think while i spam FS.)

Pros

Strategic PVP

increased use of environment (using trees to avoid fizzle)

different combinations of spells. (i.e Poison & lightning)

More exciting pvp (Yeh i know dumping fs nonstop is fun but cmon.)

Melee stands a chance? i think this ones a given, hows someone supposed to roleplay a melee character if they cant even stop their opponent from dumping on their face. Resorting to every single character to be a magetank.

Skill: This ones probably the hardest for most peopel to accept, because this does add to a whole different spectrum of concepts and strategies that you fs dumpers seem to be afraid of.
Someone who has spent the time on the server to understand the timings, and the strategies behind this style of pvp could hands down take on 2-3 people (ive only seen 1 or two people capable of this, especially not myself.), yet at the same time someone who has no magery whatsoever still stands a chance against them if they understand the strategies behind melee vs mage tactics.


Cons:

I honestly cannot think of any cons other than players who are already accustommed to dumping FS would have to change their style of play.

So now that ive listed the pros behind this idea, ide like to ask those who oppose it to come up with a list of cons if u can. Have fun.
