Ok, so for example if somone uses holy freeze (from doom or hard points), lifetap, and bone armor on a smiter to duel another smiter or a ww barb and the other person asks them not to use any of those 3 things, does ignoring the person's request still stand as gm? Imho, it doesn't. If someone asks you in a gm duel to not use/do something they consider bm (within reason) then you either abide by it or expect to be bm'd. Thats why in GM MELEE DUELS you do not purposefully attack someones spirit. It's also why in the FuryPK stuff (hld fury druids) torches are bm, because the firestorm kills the spirits. Druids rely on those summons 90% of the time to have a chance of winning. If someone asks you do not kill it, don't expect a gm duel if you continue to kill the spirit.

I dont see killing spirits as bm. in this case, as stated already. Iowa had a chance to get free hits on fudge or attack his spirit as well, but instead he decided not to do either. and from my experience with melee druids, HoW is more for the boost of AR than anything else. the dmg bonus is not that significant. and in a maul vs. maul (when both are offensive builds and not defensive) then it shouldnt matter all that much.

Oaks and HoW are SUMMONS similar to that of wolves or a bear. saying that killing oak is bm is like going to a hld caster duel in which a windy druid is surrounded by wolves. and killing his wolves off before you attack him. It is something that helps them out.

@roy:
walking to recast and walking the same distance to kill a spirit wouldnt be that much different. spirits dont fly to far from the druid. besides, going out of the way to kill a spirit leaves you quite vulnerable for several attacks.

Many people use mana pots in duels too - that doesn't mean it's GM.

killing spirits and killing wolves are 2 different thing for one spirits dont fight back -.- and wolves will also...

on roy's note im agianst using mana potions (pub,arena) all together it makes my char look weak

how much effort does it take to cast a spirit? Confused

its not bm

but the mana cost will kill you since mele chars have relatively low mana the average spirit costs 18 mana

well i was thinking casters spirit but if it was melee i would think its bm to me

it just depends on what char has the spirit

mele vs ranged really cant be helped either
