Again, imo, this is showing the flaws again of the current system (but this time with armor and enemy damage). Before only the 3rd battle was impossible, and now I'm finding that teams are getting wiped on the very first battle. I haven't even seen what the second one is like yet. It seems the only time in the game where you don't get roflstomped by a monster is if you stack one type of defense as much as possible (but that leaves your other 3 values super small).

My equipment is as follows: Khorovod, blaster (for the range), scary skele mask, drake scale mail with a normal buff: ultra that is currently bugged, and scarlet shield. So my armor is well balanced as scary skele gives normal and shadow, while drake gives piercing and elemental. But I get roflstomped by anything that hits me.

Discuss Arenas/armor.

Inb4: It's a beta. Derpa derp I know.

I had no problem at depth 22

I had no problem at depth 22 soloing an entire arena. Only one revive was needed, however it was due to a lag that warped me onto some spikes.

Equipment: Vile Striker, Needle Strike (lvl3), Rock Jelly Helm and Mail, Stone Tortoise Sheild (lvl5). I also had a +15 Vitapod. That gives me all normal and piercing defense.

I also managed the first stage of an arena after the Crossroads (depth 24 I think). This left my health rather low so I skipped out on the rest.

"My equipment is as follows: Khorovod,"

Well there's your problem. Khorovods have been given the short end of the stick. Plus alchemers are generally better than blasters due to the fire effect (Actually, I say this with facts from before the dmg buff, now they might be even) I've done arena a thousand times and the 1st round is easily soloable with crap gear (Since there's only one healer ever) so it's just a matter of skill. You also have to be aware that the arena is meant to be hard (though it isn't at the moment with Vile Strikers dominating everything =/)

Basically, consider being typical and getting a vile striker =0
