If this will be succesful upcoming events : 2v2 in open limited place no pillars or bridges , 10v10 events ( horde vs alliance)

Felt like this was a decent idea, until I read the part where you mentioned it being open with no pillars or LoS. That's kinda boring, and benefits pretty much only melee. Line of Sight keeps things interesting, and gives a brained caster (if we have over a handful left,) a chance. Unless you're intending mostly melee to take part.

So the duel will start with unfreezing the two selected opponents?

Well im sure , casters are strong enough to win in open area + area is not going to be small. But you should agree that druids are OP in pillars fights and even in open area they are strong

Just simple by starting duel , if people are from same faction

I wanted to point out that starting a duel the normal way resets the cds..

No, it doesn't. The duel ending when someone's hp fell to 0 in QUEL THALAS causes that, and only Quel Thalas. Otherwise it just refills mana and hp upon duel being accepted.

That's got to be the silliest reason to have the event lack any and all LoS. Just because one class is particularly strong, you gimp every other class wearing under leather. Why even allow bandages then? The only class that will viably be able to use them would be a rogue, possibly a priest if fear isn't immediately willed/trinketed/wears off on a single tick of pain, etc. This might be why ONLY Melee has spoken to you so far. Something to consider.

You have a good idea here, and included quite a bit of arena mechanics into it with the restrictions on cooldowns, profession and consumable use. However, if you remove LoS from the equation, you lose that atmosphere and remove too much skill. That is what makes arena fun to watch, the constant countering of one team versus the other on their ability to nuke, control, and heal.

One last point, you mentioned a large open area. Careful not to make it too large, or your rogue v rogue matches will never end. You don't have shadow sight, after all. A rogue that is getting his ass beat could easily hide in stealth a good distance away to regen and troll.

Zapcraclepop well you got the point , but for first event i allready found nice place for it , maybe next time i will get another one with some LOS , and for rogue? i mentioned in rules , max 15s invisible , i think its enough to plan your next moves , and not to long to wait for cd's , well anyways in event you will see only 2 rogues , small chance for that fight
