Holder Weapons in Duels

Firstly. OW YOUR FONT CHOICE HURTS MY EYES!

Secondly, if you can't use spells in weapon duels then that should imo include weapon spells as they are spells.

Thirdly, there is nothing stopping a holder mage using an actual weapon in a duel rather than using their holder item.

Also fourthly, technically every requip mage is a holder mage according to canon

Fifthly, the duel system is a bit bleh atm and needs some revamp. Plus PVP isn't meant to be a major part of the site so its kinda quite far back on the back log.

Agreeing with the use of signature spells as long as it pertains to the item only, or using only an item i.e a sig spell that buffs/changes how the holder item works out.

To Zack:

Firstly my font choice is beautiful, don't be hatin!

Secondly there is much of a difference between spells and abilities, because the abilities always are something only the weapon can do, whilst a spell is in relation to magic. The weapon abilities are allowed solely because the fact of ONLY the weapon can use such an ability. So i think weapon abilities should be allowed.

Thirdly that I know, but this doesn't really portain to them either. This is really for those who either A) dont have a weapon or B) dont wanna use their weapon for plot purposes or cockiness... or... whatever/

Fourthly what does that really matter? This is about someone weilding a magical hammer or something, not a requip mage.

Fifthly I (and probably everyone else who PvPs) don't use it for the sake of fighting. I use it for the quick and easy EXP, so that way instead of spending 2 weeks on doing a job that gives me 50 EXP, I can do a duel in half the time and get 3 times as much. Its just easier, and 99% of people on the site are C or D Rank, and once someone hits B rank they basically don't worry about jobs anymore unless they REALLY wanna get to A or S. I''m all about my character's plot and all, but if I wanna get her to B rank this is a very easy way, but as i stated the holder mages are completely outshone by... EVERY other person who can Weapon Duel except other Holder Mages,

To Raiza:

The signature spells need to relate to the magic... and are all generally simple... so I guess what you mean is "I want any signature spell that isn't BS" XD. Nah JK, but thanks

Firstly, I can't read it without hurting my eyes. So no it is not beautiful. It is painful.

Secondly, they are still classed as weapon spells. The whole point of a weapon v weapon duel is that its like a swordfight. If you are throwing spells around on top of that then you might as well just do a normal duel.

Thirdly, so what you are saying is we should allow them to bend a rule to allow them to fight in a system when for plot reasons or 'cockiness' they refuse to use another weapon. Then no. I won't bend the rule for that. You enter a weapon duel then you know what you are in for.

Fourthly, I was correcting a common misconception

Fifthly, PVP is not an easy way to gain MP. Duels can last ages, i've seen them, and tbh a C rank job for 50 exp can be done in less than a week.

Sixthly(as your final point was divided into two), if we make weapon duels purely that WEAPON duels then no they don't get outshone. That way it is a contest of skill.

Sevently, as a final point the PVP system is not a main feature on site. it is there because of inevitability and a lot has been done to improve it recently (health, damage, speed etc). As such I may do some clarifications on it later, but for now its a bit of a tough luck situation. You want to do a weapon duel which allows the weapon's abilties? Then you do a weapon with abilities. End of

1st off yes the font is painful to read(Why you do dis ;-;?)

But 2nd, isn't a weapon duel suppose to only have the user's blades and their skill? I mean with those requip mages they can only shift the blade design itself. This means that any active abilities should be disabled of any weapon in the duel, holder or not( Ex. you swing your blade and a scythe of fire comes out or any range abilities in general). Passives of the weapon could be held as long they are a buff or debuff(Ex weapon gives user a shield that takes up to 10% damage unless knocked out of the owner's hands, Ex. weapon will dispell magic upon hit with another weapon or body). Really the duel should be, as I said, a test of blades and skill in close quarters, not of active abilities in the weapon itself.

And third, I do admit the c-rank missions can take awhile, but if you want a c-rank mission to go by faster then choose it with another person who wants the same. Because in my opinion I feel the arena was meant for people to get their need for pvp rping, and not for easy exp.
