That's a very sensible way to go about pvp Riggs, it's ludicrous to use rules that favor one playstyle over another in DS because people use different ways of playing (like your aforementioned thief vs heavy example).

That's nothing HSPLazerz, I once got ragemail for get this, using a shield (A SHIELD) against someone who loved to run off and fire his bow at me, prolonging the fight to almost twenty minutes of me chasing him around the area while he took potshots at me.

Heaven forbid I act intelligently and use a shield to defend myself though, right?

"What do honor bros expect from any given pvp session?"

Honestly it seems to differ based on who you ask, I've known a couple who will throw a tantrum if you dare to use magic of any sort or will forbid weapons that cause bleed or can punch through armor and shields like katanas and the shotel respectively. In the end, I suspect that the honor systems used by the "honor bros" are based on a similar concept to the ones created in older times by knights, samurai, and other such warriors: a way to stack the odds in their favor and grant them the percieved right to demean people who don't want to play by their rules.
