Guild Wars 2

So I joined a duel arena on my mesmer today after reading the rules: http://imgur.com/sq6lhLH .

But after I started fighting, I was told that celestial amulets aren’t allowed. As you can see from the rules, the only thing mentioned is that armor shouldn’t be above 2500 – which it wasn’t.

So in general do you guys not use celestial amulet in dueling, or was it likely to have been a deliberate omission?

Since celestial is regarded as being “OP” atm until the stats are nerfed down in the future, it could be just that particular server’s way of excluding OP builds. Although, they’d probably allow it on a mesmer if you ask. I’m sure they were more referring to cele ele/engi/warrior when they said no celestial amulet. I’d just ask if I were you.

Imo, as long as the server rules don’t say otherwise play what you want.
There are different servers with different rules. Angz is usually the most popular duel server and has more specific (& restricting) rules. However, it’s not uncommon to see it full around prime time / you never get in to fight. That leads to people trying to enforce these rules on other servers too, some even think these are the official duel rules everyone must follow everywhere. Got in some arguments about that as well. I usually tell people to check the server rules. There’s no reason other than courtesy to fight how your opponent wants you to.

Did you try contacting the server owner? Maybe he can help in that matter.

This has nothing to do with an amulet being OP.

It’s common for ANY tanky amulet (amulets with a certain number of defensive stats) to be banned in duels because they result in duels that take forever, resulting in less people being able to duel.

Let me see if I can contact the owner. Thanks!

Don’t waste your time with those crazy Zerker fanatics. Leave that circlejerk.

because cele is fairly tanky
it’s just like dueling a settler.

it’s no fun.
