FEY FOREST BATTLE ROYALE 1v1 TOURNAMENT 9/18 3pm EST [admission open until 9/17]

edited September 2016 in PvP Discussion
-TERA Fey Forest battle Royale-

Starts: Sunday, September 18th, 2016
Admissions open: Wednesday, September 7th, 2016

RISING BOUNTY! CURRENTLY: 40K (along with support prizes from SpaceCats)

Tera has such a vast array of terrains, most more than our gpus can handle. But due the recent influx of pvp and the servers being merged very soon, I, Mr.Cuddly, and my sponsors from Primal have decided to host a double bracket Pvp tournament. Many people do pvp on the side and some dedicate themselves to it, and so to balance things out, we are making the tourney a 1 v.s.1 . Also instead of having this tournament in typical VO, only the FINAL battle will be in Velika Outskirts. So yes, this tourney will be fought ALL over the world. There will be a cash prize for the winners of the tournament as well as the respect of Fey forest.


Sign ups:
- Whisper me, Mrcuddlyface, in-game on Fey forest. I will ask for the character you will be using and send you the rules and guidelines via parcel.
- Message me on discord at Cuddles#8921 and give me your ign and character, as well as class.
- You can leave your In-game name and class below.

Rules and guidelines:
- All matches will be the best 2 out of 3 (with the exception of the semi-finals and finals which will be out of)
- Once you lose once you lose a match you will be moved to the losers bracket, and if you lose again you will be ELIMINATED. For more information on how double bracket tournaments work, visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-elimination_tournament
- All Buffs/consumables are banned from the tournament, excluding class specific buffs, If you have buffs on before a match you will be Regressed by a mystic and/or maybe even asked to commit [filtered].
The max gear level for the tournament is 415. If you are above this level you must find some way to bring your level down. (ex: Taking off or replacing jewlery, changing gear)
There is no healing allowed during a match excluding the following:
Gunner bot
Reaper’s whipsaw and double shear
Healing crystals
Vampiric blow
Slayer Over-Hand strike and stunning backhand (glyphed)
Ninja Death Blossom
Brawler Rampage (glyphed)
Warrior, Restorative Rain of blows

- All fights will be posted on youtube so be sure to smile ;3
- Everyone enters by themselves only. Meaning, no teams where ppl can sub out for one another.
- Since we all have lives and would like for matches not to take 3 years, All healing classes are barred from the tournament.
- There is no running allowed. Meaning, if you are losing/panicking and try to flee the arena you will forfeit that round. It is only called running if you flee the arena. This does not mean that If you are fighting and happen to exit the arena you will be called out on it. We will have careful eyes on every fight before calling a run
- We are promoting people to use skill to win battles and for that reason we are banning Certain skills called "BM" (also notes these do not include healign skills which are in a different rule).
The following are barred from being used:
Sorcerer - Mana volley
Reaper - Shadow reaping, Shrouded shadows
Warrior - Deadly Gamble
Slayer - In cold blood

- You can only use on char/toon for the entire tournament, so no alt switching.
- All match ups can be seen here => http://challonge.com/TeraTournament
- ANY KIND OF BAD SPORTSMANSHIP WILL GET YOU A WARNING, If it happens again you will be DISQUALIFIED. While this might mean that if you make violent or even mean comments about players you will be penalized, if you think a match wasn’t fair do not be afraid to point it out.


Things to note:
- All round will be fought in the same place, meaning round one of winner will all be fought in one location while all of round two in another.
- Due to FF being a pvp server, no one is allowed to start or configure “out-law” or duel in the background while a match is going on.
- I will post the Location over Global 15 minutes before every round.
- You must come on your own. If you do not show up for you match we will call out over global. If you are not found after 2 minutes, you will forfeit that round.
- Also note that the List for allowed heals is constantly being updated, so if you seem something that should be added, say something.
- The tournament rules have been updated. Changes: no entrance fee, Bm has been banned

  • So Brawlers and Lancers can't use their self heal? That is silly.

  • It would bm to other players m8, but you can use glyphed heals ;D'

    I'm not on FF but I should mention that allowing BM skills will basically mean the winner will 100% be a reaper if Fey Forest has any reapers that understand the SR combo.

    Shadow reaping puts the reaper in a state where they can 100-0 any other class while only having to land any one of these skills: Pendulum, smite, double shear, whipsaw, cable step, reversal. This is incredibly easy to do. It is basically a 1v1 win button. Even Dstance warriors and PvP glyphed lancers get rekt by it.

  • The entirety of the Reaper class is BM. Why just ban them outright?
  • Hm~

    Thanks for pointing that out, I will discuss with my team that. Reguardless, anyone wanna join?

    ^ Because while reapers are definitely stronger than they should be in PvP due to classes not having their mobility-talents outside Ktera, the class is still very beatable by warriors lancers and +40 attackspeed brawlers as long as the reaper doesn't pop SR.

    The thing people don't get about SR is it's the only true guaranteed 100-0. Warriors, Zerkers, Sorcs, and Brawlers all have 100-0 combos as well but they are either reliant on RNG ( Warrior and Sorc need rng resets and key-skill crits for theirs to work ) or require retaliate to be blown ( Zerker infinite KD lock, Brawler infinite air lock ) which arguably isn't a "true" 100-0 combo since you technically have to land a smaller combo first. Shadow reaping 100-0 is 100%. It doesn't not require RNG resets, it does not rely on the targets retaliate, and the entire thing could whitehit and it would still probably kill you.

    What's the 100-0 shadow reaping combo?
  • This doesnt show any DPS skills being used but shows why it is OP. Take note that the cooldowns of skills have been buffed so this can be done with CDR rolls and no nostrum with correct timing.



    The basic concept is Cable->Dps->Smite->DPS->Sometimes reversal->DPS->Cable->DPS->You get the idea.

    Shadow reaping lets reapers permastun/stagger people to death with minimal effort.


  • I honestly just don't understand why shadow reaping even exists. I'm not a PVE expert, so I'm not sure if reaper dps depends on the skill, but I doubt it. However, the fact that it's allowed to be used in any BG or PVP setting is beyond me.
  • The newer classes will have an insane advantage. Reaper, Gunner, Brawler, Ninja. :/
  • Except that only works with nostrums. Most reapers only have 1 cd roll.

    Reaper can 100-0 without shadow reaping what's ur point?

    Double Shear > Pendulum > Whipsaw > Cable Step > Soul Reversal > Smite > Spiral > Grim Strike > Sundering Strike > Soul Reversal the retaliate (requires exact timing) > Shadow Burst.

    Also the winner of the duel is going to be whoever runs more HP regain.

    Reapers are not the only class in TERA with 100-0 skill chains, Deadly gamble is just as lethal but any of these skills would make a 1v1 tourney pretty pointless, or so i've heard. And for that reason we are changing all BM allowed to NO BM allowed. You can read the list in the rules to see what is Bm.

    dont forget eblow and zerk invulnerability skill and second wind and (optional) iron will.

    second wind is actually banned and the two others aren't bm. are you joining tho?
  • Also don't forget about Tenacity it can heal 12% of your HP if you glyph it.
