Very few things while gaming make me angry but shock in this game has me fuming, i don't play them after awhile as i don't like being angry while gaming, one shock and you're stuffed, there's no dodging 8 guns with a 250 ping.
nerf shock, it's too powerful compared to everything else and has no hard counter.

Are you finding schock
Are you finding schock powerful? Instead of asking for a nerf you'd better invest in Voltech Alchemer! If something is so powerful why not use it against mobs? :-D

Polaris ftw.
By the way, no
Polaris ftw.
By the way, no shock counter? my maximum shock resist UV begs to differ.
Taking 1 damage from a shock that lasts 4 seconds in T3 is trolololol.

You cant run from 8 guns in
You cant run from 8 guns in the arena, one shock and you are done with high ping. It's the fact you drop your shield and get rooted for 2 seconds hence you cant run and that happens 3 times. which is uncountable with 250 ping as the monsters hit from 7 metres away.

I always pick up remedy pills
I always pick up remedy pills ASAP for when I get shocked. The train of thought goes "I got shocked." *pill*

You can avoid being seen them
You can avoid being seen them by knowing what will spawn when you kill a group and sticking to the edges. I use ash of agni during arenas and because I know what I am doing i can take less damage. I know that after you kill the small enemys 4 turets spawn in the open spaces if the room. After you kill the turrets 4 big enemys spawn in the center and that ends that spawning tree. The second one is with the medium enemys after you kill them 2 healers and 2 big enemys spawn in the upper right and the lower left. After you kill them the 8 turrets spawn and that is the last of that spawning tree. it does not matter which you kil first but both have to be killed first for you to got to the last one.

It's even worse with 4
It's even worse with 4 players, when your with 4 players people cause things to hit you and you get way way less loot. It's more like a single player game then an mmo this one.
Absolute pile of [crap] this shock crap.

It's not Shock that needs to
It's not Shock that needs to be nerfed. Remedy Capsules need to be buffed. And by buffed, I mean they shouldn't be able to be interrupted by absolutely anything. Sometimes it feels like an enemy even looking in my general direction will cause it to interrupt.

I actually want to see Shock
I actually want to see Shock brought back closer to pre-nerf levels. Sure it's a double-edged sword, but I liked it when my Storm Driver could stop monsters dead in their tracks. If it bothers you that much, get a Grey Feather set; it'd be nice to see people using a bigger variety of gear (as of now, Vog is still way popular). My solution was to get a High Shock UV. Also, if you aggro the 3rd wave (8 turrets) in an arena, you're doing it wrong (unless PUGging, in which case you can't expect too much from randoms).

Wont back down
Shock has been nerfed a few times, and I don't think Three Rings will change it more just because a few hundreds players can not dodge well or be equipped with the right gear. Personally, I can handle shock stages very well and know how to run even if I do get shock I take cover so I won't die. Practice makes perfect.

What you mean if you get 8
What you mean if you get 8 turrets your doing it wrong, you can avoid that stage??
Oh btw there's no cover in arena. Once shocked the mobs can move and hit you no matter where you are, so once shocked there's nothing you can do.
I see so many groups wipe on shock arena. shock should not have 2 abilities in one, either drop shield or root, not both.

Wasn't this the same argument
Wasn't this the same argument with Flamelash arena not even 2 months ago? Granted flamepuppies were godly back then.
At any rate, this has already been solved with the Quick silver armor line. If shock is a problem, you need shock resist.

If you are silly enough to
If you are silly enough to stand in the middle of the arena (3rd room) when wave 3 spawns, then you get exactly what you deserve: staring down 8 puppy turrets with their sights trained on you.
The proper way to painless arena running is to stick to the outside when there are only a few enemies from wave 2 left, pick up heat, crowns and mat/item drops so the turrets don't spawn out of place, and then finish off the remainder of wave 2 with precision attacks from the edges of the arena. When wave 3 (the 8 turrets) spawns, they will all be dormant and you can pick them off at your leisure. There may still be a few stragglers from wave 2, but whatever happens, kite in the same direction and NEVER run through the middle of the turrets like a headless chicken. If you aggro the turrets, then it's your own fault if you wipe. In a team, it is usually preferable to die and wait for a rez than to break the kiting pattern/aggro mass turrets.
As the old adage goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Know how the arena works and position yourself accordingly, and you won't be facing CE rezzes.

There's a window of
There's a window of opportunity to kill at least one Gun Puppy when the third wave spawns. Killing just one creates a small area where you can dodge the bullets while taking out the next Gun Puppy. In a party, you want to at least two people concentrating their attacks on a Gun Puppy to do this. The setup is like dominoes. Once you take out one, the rest tend to follow suit.

I agree with everyone whos
I agree with everyone whos posted.
Shock is not a quarter as annoying as fire. (any FSC players know what i mean)
Seroiusly...SEROIUSLY...If you can't learn how to stay alive in the 3rd wave of the arena when the gun puppys spawn then follow this guide.
1) Get an Owlite shield
-one of the best sheilds in the game
-almost every pro has one
- SHOCK AND ELEMENTAL RESIST
2) Get Shock resist UVs
- UV=unique variant btw
-most UVs (low or very high) offer good if not withstandable help to the player
-got a MAX Normal UV on my Ash Tail Helm. Not what i wanted but still greatly helped me to survive arenas
3) KITE AROUND THE EDGES
-OMG i cannot stress enough how much i HATE when people on my team run out to the middle of the arena and get all the gun puppys agrro...then KITE THEM INTO US. If you do this then i will personally kill you over and over in PVP. Do this and you deserve the deaths of teh gun puppys' bullets
-Kite the same direction. Even if you have all the mobs' aggro on you, you'd be better off far away from them.
- Gun and bomb while kiting. So simple that if you dont then i will say to you EPIC FAIL.
4) Play it safe
-kinda falls under kiting. If you know you're gonna die, then hide back and gun the enemies one at a time
-IF YOU HAVE A GOOD TEAM: Rely on them to help you through. Most players are helpful and understand if you die a lot.
-IF YOU HAVE A BAD TEAM: Strategize before attacking if you can or work out what to do before the battle. (i.e "Ok so we all kite clockwise and stay together)
-Know your limits. If you cant finish the arena then dont. no big deal.
5)Dont do this EVER
-this has nothing to do with this topic so to speak but itll help your teammates respect you more. Dont do what is listed below or people will hate you.
----DONT SAY: "Im gonna die. Dont revive me"
- I HATE people who do this and its usually for one of these stupid reasons
a) I want to see how strong your pro weapon is but am to dumb to know i can ask you in chat. <---HURR DERP ask in chat or im leaving/kicking you from the party
b) I have to leave for some reason in real life but ill be back in 3 hours. <--- I dont give 2 crowns if you have to eat dinner or help out with the family. If you cant play, THEN LOG OFF. I know EVERYONE hates when people are afk and make everyone else drag their body to the end thus going into the next dont do
c) Oh ill brb. *9 minutes later* WTF STILL AFK @%%$ THIS IM OUT *I leave party* NEVER be afk for an extended peroid. Log off or we're leaving you on your own. IT IS YOUR FAULT IF YOU DO THIS ENTIRELY. Dont blame us for leaving you because you didnt help us out.
I think this basicly ends this thread.
Good luck see you next time in Haven.

It already has been nerfed...
