Intention

All rules fall under two categories:
Accessibility
Balance

The intention of the rules is to provide new and old pvpers a fair start to get into PvP and understand what PvP could be in PoE. Banning Legacy items and beneficial corruptions is an example of Accessibility, even if there were many PvP builds that did not need those players without access to them immediately can feel that they do not have the tools to even participate. Banning 21 gems and 4links Max is for balance, PvP damage is too high and no one wants competitive PvP in PoE to be two players trying to one shot the other offscreen when the match starts and they do not even see the other player. It isn't a perfect system but it was what the PvP community could agree on would be a nice way to start.

Some thoughts regarding hld items:

"
Poet's Pen, Null's Inclination, Asenath's Chant, Mjölner, Cospri's Malice and the Cast on Critical Strike support gem now scale the damage of triggered spells based on the attack time of the triggering attack. They no longer have an 80% damage penalty across all triggered skills.

I think unban Asenath's Chant is ok, poet's pen unban but limit to one.

Kitava's arguable but for the most part unban worthy imo as CWC is not banned and it has same penalty.

Zerphi's can probably be unbanned as both healing and buff are removed upon being hit now so it cannot be used to tank through stuff.

poets was already unbanned for HLD, I havnt touched the lld balance becouse I am unsure on specifics of balance.

as for both Asenath's Chant and Kitava's thrist, the issue is more so they automate movement skills (like flamedash and lightning warp) rather than actually dealing damage, and zerphi will be unbanned soonish, but i wont touch the balance until we see new skills in 3.6
