Guild Wars 2

As the title is saying, I would like to know what is the “normal” rules on 1v1 servers?

Here after the patch I wanted to train some 1v1 so a asked in /m chat in the pvp lobby. And found this guy who wanted to 1v1 for some time. He asked if I knew the rules of 1v1. I am new to 1v1s so of cause I would like to hear them.

He showed me in what area to fight….So long so good, but then i good a bit wired.
I was on my engi running a gadget build.
- Fist he told me no turrets in 1v1 (well that seamed okay)
- also that I was cheating because i used supply drop (well they include turrens so okay aigan)
- Elixir S, the one that make u small or invis (was also not okay)
- Elixir X Toolkit the one that can make the enemy into a Moa. (this skill was also cheating and not follow “balanced” 1v1 rules.

Okay so this is were I started thinking the problem was not my “cheesy” builds but this dude Playing he’s 1v1 balanced Medi-gardian

So my question: What is normally good manners and rules when u 1v1 on the private servers?

Well, every 1v1 server seems to have it’s own small ruleset. If they do, they have a link in the description of the server.

If you want to get used to your build, just look for a server, that allows the use of your build.

Personally, most of the time, I’m duelling friends, and there we just don’t use too long Cooldown (e.g. Moa on Mesmer).

@Turrets: Haven’t see a server yet, that prohibits the use of turrets, and if the does so, than he rule is outdated, since the turrets got a rebalance since.

No elites over 120s.
No tanky amu (Soldier,Crusader,Settler…)
No rune including healing power.
No sigils that stack on death.

Necros : Can’t start a duel with >20% DS.
Mesmer : No PU
Thief: No Shadow Rejuv
Warrior : No rampage
Engineer : No Elixir X

Should be something like that.

(Angz server global rules)

Thx for the reply. Those server rules seams reasonable.

I think the lesson here is that I should find my opponent on a server that already have a rules set. Instead of asking in chat for en opponent and then let him choose what ever rules he thinks is okay.
What about Elixir S!? (the one that make u small or invis)

i tought “duelers” fight but this looks like a dance

Everything is a no no? wtf

I can´t see any reason why you shouldn´t using Elixir S. Curious who told you not to use that xD
Shadow rejuvination is currently not banned from Angz server. Maybe it returns to the list ^^
Angz 1vs1 rules
That rules are not “general” rules overall, but Angz is the most used 1vs1 server EU and the list provides interesting duelling. So pls never say to anyone that this are THE RULES. They are a very good guideline though.
