Dueling State / Form
DUEL FORM
I propose a new addition to the vampire shapeshift abilities. For simplicity I will refer to this state / form as Duel Form.
INITIATING A DUEL
Duel Form will require 2 players to cast. A duel will be initiated by a challenger performing an animation that is akin to "Expose Vein". A second player must accept by interacting with the challenger. At which point both players enter the Duel Form with full health regardless of the amount of health they currently have in normal status.
PARAMETERS
Duel Form can only cause damage to other players also in Duel Form. Duel Form will prevent all damage from other Duel Form players that would otherwise decrease their health below 1. Players in Duel Form are not immune to damage from non Duel Form players and can be killed by non Duel Form players.
CONCLUSION
At the conclusion of a duel a player would perform an animation that suggests defeat and return to normal status with the exact same health they had when entering the Duel Form.

loop MergedI would love to be able to duel with others in my clan to practice our mettle in battle.

Would be nice to be able to do such a thing with other players as well, by right clicking duel in the social tab. -

JeremyThis is great. Not sure what unforseen game issues could come of this, but something anything along these lines would be a great addition so we can practice fighting each other without leaving clans and having to worry about the issues associated with leaving and rejoining. Such as losing the way gate locations when you rejoin.

LingSpeedAbsolutely! I feel thou for the system to work best we'd need a new UI element that would allow for rules to be set and agreed upon, and have info like status of fairness, leaderboard etc.
Don't think it should be limited to arena. Nor it should allow for auto healing, damage immunity etc. (as thats an exploit/support problem). Arena duels as is described could be nice endgame but it would be minority feature. Introducing everyone early to duels could get people to fight more. Or allow fighting in PvE servers as well as between clanmates, before they reach endgame.
Just have a fairness detection tied to rewards for both parties. Like placing a vampire themed "banner" with range for temporary arena, that gets reset when 3rd party enters (possibly with delay timer). After the duel everyone can suck varied reward tokens (to be exchanged elsewhere) from it like when killing the boss. Banners placed in arena could have extended mechanics. -
