While I am compiling the rules for the competitive raiding event, one of the hardest issues to decide on is whether there should be a limitation placed on team compositions. After much thought and internal debate, I can give everyone a preview of a rule that will be in place for the official competition.
Players must register as a team of three and keep the same team of three for all weeks of competition. Each team member must play a different class; in other words, a team may not compete with two of the same class or a party of all the same class.
It is with a heavy heart that I implement this rule. The last thing I want to do is limit teams to express themselves or keep friends from teaming up because they play the same class, but this is a rule that I must uphold. The limitation is not necessarily placed on the class Chii Aruel, but on her ability Claws Out. Claws Out is a unique ability among all skills in Soul Worker because of its combination of low cooldown, quick cast, high damage, and fast activation. Another skill like this when analyzing the kits of all classes is either rare or non-existent. Therefore, the limitation is not placed on Chii Aruel, as much as it is to limit one Claws Out user per team. Since I am limiting a skill to one user per team, I will take the step further and announce the rule as each player plays a different class.
I want to thank all competitors for understanding.
