Zenda, with all due respect... have you ever participated in a melee duel? I realize its kind of idiotic to ask questions like that to an experienced community memeber, but it really seems like you dont know what you're talking about on this particular subject. Let me try to explain it a different way...
Its like you would play a warrior in classic against a rogue using shield + schaefers hammer - a deadly combination of high cth and lightning damage wich only truly experienced warrior duellers are able survive and not without using some nasty tricks as well. And remember the rogue has lower hp, slower attack speed, much smaller physical damage and lacks critical hit ability...
Now imagine duel of 2 warriors with 300+ th, fast attack speed, both using shaefer's... First physical hit almost for sure determines who the winner is - not much place for tactics or strategy here. And even if there will be no clean physical hit before both opponents close the distance to each other, then the one with higher hp wins - always.
How do you like that? And this is how all melee duels in ReX would look like if weapons with high th + elemental damage would be avaliable. Boring like hell if you ask me...

Hello Tan_Gonarro,

No, I never duelled, and I'm not an experienced community member. I never played this mod, and it has been many years since I played Diablo. I'm just curious from a modders point of view.

In your example with the rogue, isn't it the perfect blocking of the rogue that makes the outcome so sure? If she didn't, the Lightning damage wouldn't help much, is it? And if warriors without perfect block fight eachother, wouldn't the weapon damage be more important as the lightning damage?

Btw, there are some simple things that could prevent these sure outcomes in duels. For example, lowering the maximum chances to block below 100%, or the maximum tohit in PvP below 95%.

Hello Tan_Gonarro,

"in my example both players have perfect block, and its rogue's ability to frequently hit opponent's shield (making him block and thus interrupting most of his attacks) while constantly delivering elemental damage to his health that makes the outcome so sure."

So all a rogue needs for a duel is a shield and some elemental melee weapon? Why do players even bother with warriors then?

I'm not so sure a meleeing rogue can keep a warrior in block-lock, though. Unless we are talking about a non-hasted warrior, but I assume everyone is hasted in duels. However, if that is the problem, why not give both a sword with elemental damage AND high tohit? That way, the warrior would usually win because he is faster and has more life. One reason is as good as the other, imo, and it would teach those rogues to stick with bows.

"as no warrior would stand a chance against bow using rogue"

I meant only the blocking chances in melee. Arrows and other spells are handled separately, so you could have different caps (for blocking as well as tohit).

Talking of arrows, if you all are so doubtfull of elemental melee damage, how about elemental bow damage? Seems to me that this is the real killer in duels. Unlike the melee variant, this elemental damage does use normal (dex based) tohit, gives an additional 7 or 9 attacks (depending on being lightning or fire) instead of one, and adds the rogue's base damage to all hits. One arrow from a decent rogue could easily decide a duel, I think.

[Arty~]

There thats betterrrrr

[~DeeP~]

ADVICE : Every armor with + attr +ac% + some fucking shit AND FIRE HIT DAMAGE won't be accepted...Faust works just well with his 30 ac and a little fire damage and fastest attack (in fact useless unless you are italian and you duel in italian way)

Understood? :/
