[Scare crow]

It would be better if people could stay objective and state problems like so:

I think that (thing) is too (strong/weak) because (too little mana/too much damage/too little damage/too inefficient).

Or:

I dislike (new feature) because it (breaks something/makes things too fast/too slow).

Things like that are way easier for me to make notes of, or respond to. Believe it or not I do actually write down the feedback when I can understand it in order to address and make changes later if needed. Just because I don't immediately say "Ok, I will do everything you want" doesn't mean you were ignored, and I hate to promise/deny anything until I have had a sufficient amount of observing time and feedback.

I'm a very empirical and logical person, I like to measure and watch and calculate. I respect objectivity and strongly believe the best way to balance the system is through innovative changes which are mathematically balanced. I really can't do anything with feedback which is "I don't like it" or "This is broken" with no other information.

Specifically the complaints I remember from you smoke are:

1) Don't like reduction of scroll dependence/removal of lightning scrolls.

2) Think poison makes nuking too easy to kill/hard to live.

Is this correct? Is there more? Does anyone else have any comments on these issues?

My person feeling is that I haven't had enough feedback or chance to see the poison mechanic working out. Also I am willing to revert the lightning scroll change but the way I see it in order to PvP to your full potential you will need:

All kinds pots
Armour/Weapons/Shield
Bless, Curse, FS, GH, MR, Wall, Dispel Field, Explo, EB, Poison and Cure scrolls

If anything I'd prefer to reduce this scroll burden more rather than reverting the small amount it has already been reduced...

#1 - Mitigation has turned dueling into a Poison fest. The only scroll that you need to cast is poison over and over and the other person has to cure over and over. Healing should not be affected while poisoned so that players can at least heal through dumps if they choose not to cure right away.

#2 - Wall of Stone?? LOL - Fizzle PVP much?! (Dispel Field goes hand-in-hand with this)

#3 - Don't need Cure scrolls if poison is fixed... spell does just fine.

#4 - Mana Vampire is also one of those skills that messes with the duel.. you can just steal all of someonmes mana right from the start and turn the duel into a boring bandaid fest.

#5 - Those Cure Pots should be removed because it has to do with mitigation

* I think the style is ok but there are several things that need to be looked at. We are not trying to turn 1 v 1 duels into weird 50 hour duels.. It's boring right now. I find myself pressing poison over and over and over and cure and poison and cure... I just don't have the pleasure I used to I guess. Maybe I'm just getting to old or just hate the direction it's going in. I haven't figured it out yet..

AND THE ICING TO THE CAKE...

To those PVPers that use Injection SCRIPTS to duel FOR THEM. They will disagree with this but Im addressing it.

#6 - Mini Heal (In Mani) IS RETARDED! You can Mini heal out of a FULL DUMP (Very easy to create a macro that does it for you) and then have more mana than the other... VERY VERY unbalanced.
