Since we're talking about fight pits, is there a specific reason that the Eye of Ayak doesn't work in PvP minigames?

Isn't this a blanket ban for all charged staves?

I believe the idea is to make people choose between having Ice Barrage/Veng and having a higher DPS spell without having to spellbook swap.

Also with the megarares, tbow/scythe's effects make them not useful against players, but I think the accuracy + dps of a shadow would probably be a bit much. Even the eye might be too much when combined with the new confliction gauntlets.

Happy for someone more experienced in PvP to pipe up and confirm/shut down my suspicions though.

Shadow's passive just doesn't work in pvp because yeah that'd be insanely op, but you can use it and the other powered staves in minigames

Staves are allowed in safe pvp mini games.

So ayak not working seems like an oversight

Whilst true, I think it would be a bit OP.

While you're at it, fix the hitbox of the attack animation.

You can misclick 'attack' on a player using Ayak at Callisto from 6 tiles away. The attack animation is ABSURDLY large

Has there been any thought to adding fight pits arena to LMS?

All LMS maps are single combat, and multi combat might prove as an interesting change of pace, scrambling to make alliances or betray people

Probably doesnt pvp but still funny because pvp has so many obscure rules that differ from the game
