The Blond Brigade - Melee only events: 3v3, CTF, Tournament?

I'm finishing up a scion as we speak. I won't make this round but next weekend should see the final pieces falling into place.

How would one go make a melee character? And how would you guys level a scion? I am stcuk at level 27 as it turns out I couldn't afford facebreakers for my facebreaker character. Is the tree broken now, can i respec it or should I reroll?

Right, I've put the finishing touches on my ascendant, had a look over the op and had some questions.

-Damage over time. I literally copied and pasted Mygalomorphae's passive tree onto an ascendant. I'm even using his gear (I can remove the illegal gems and I've got gloves to replace my enchanted ones), only now has it occurred to me to ask if bleed (and poison for that matter) are legal? It's not mentioned in the list of damages not allowed.
-If it's agreed that it's not okay, can one still use a weapon with bleed mod but no bleed nodes/jewels? The bleed from disfavor used to be rather inconsequential in pvp, but with the nodes and jewels I use it's become my primary damage source (disfavor is really the only thing that keeps me in pvp, I don't have any other decent weapons for melee damage).
-Is it okay to use your last two ascendancy points to change your starting point on the tree? That is the obvious way I could copy and paste a marauders passive tree onto a scion.

I'd like to preface this by pointing out the amazing amounts of anti-bleed and anti-poison gear and effects that are out there (as I clearly have a bias towards degen damage).

Yes they are all allowed as their damage come from an initial melee hit. Also ofc passive tree start replacement allowed as well.

So who's up for this weekend?

Can't make it during that time frame. Middle of afternoon for me kinda wrecks shit.

Nevermind, fiund it in the op. Only seems 2 hours outta sync with nz, shouldn't be a problem.p

Next weekend is 2.4 so most of us will play some pve, I'll try to organize again after that.

Cool, man. Thanks for going the extra mile and trying to get things going. Maybe some new content will help boot me in the ass enough to get my scrub warbands scion past level 80
