Guide: How to fight in the Arena

[bhutkeyur]

So those lamps r really getting on my nerves lately. I know my strategy by spiders and pumpkins is to fight close to them but this bug or whatever is it makes it a real struggle.

So keep some distance from lamps when fighting close to them and avoid being hit or pushed to them if possible.

I hope that someone will look into this bc wih those lamps is definetly something wrong. But it seems that everything reported abt arena gets ignored, can be just my feeling though.....

Well you guys said arena is hard now but I feel its more easy now. Perhaps I got good connection(350 ping) so I am soloing everyboss in arena now.
For lamps I found some bug - Maradon sometimes push me into the lamps so its instant kill bcoz I am between lamp. If I stay very close to the lamp to avoid pumpkins - many times my arrow dont hit boss, lamp acting like invisible barrier. Another benefit of this bug is - we can actually hide near lamp when we are low hp to avoid boss attack.

any attack that pushes you can instant kill if you stick to the lamp...

I solo, always, since the release. And i find arena harder using only legendary gear. Im comparing it to lvl 31 cap, when i run in mixed crate gear with elite legendary. When i tried same in lvl 36 cap, it was definetly harder, i expected same difficulty, so thats why i think they scaled it so players with upgraded mythics will not have it much easier, and will not get bored, u can feel how much difference it makes to run in legendaries and mythics.
Now with crafting and upgrading the gap between is even bigger. Its ridiculous in my opinion, others opinion can differ, but i dont think its doing any good to the game.

I heard that after upgrading update bosses were buffed to keep up with buffed players, cant confirm it, bc i didnt run arena much since that update.

I also noticed that arrows dont hit boss, like u say, when close to lamp, they hit lamps instead of boss, doesnt matter how close the boss is.

And dont know what u mean hiding between lamps, in my experience its insta kill.

any attack that pushes you can instant kill if you stick to the lamp...

This exactly.

Well I dont have any single mythic gear :P
During Nordor expansion I feared many bosses like BH+ spider even with tank. One spider bite and BH cannon = dead for me in my pink gear. Frosty red zone = dead.
But in this expansion I just tanked frosty once with spider by using dagger. Perhaps I got lucky with dodge in that fight.

Here is screenshot of my gear: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...r-Rouge-Lvl-36

I am not old player in AL as u r so I cant really compare difficulty of arena.

Problem remains same - they are so lazy to explore forums Even if you give direct link to forums.

I'm in a guild where we teach the new players our tips on how to fight bosses and run specific maps, and I do love helping them. However there is a limit on how many times one likes to repeat themselves about such tips! This does make it easier, and there are a number of ways to do it. I've found some of the things that work for rogues, not so well with mages and warriors, especially if they solo arena.

We, rogues, are truly blessed with homing arrows

Thank you for this nice guide!

Wonder if i should do a respec for Arena with Warrior-Ranged attack? Anyone tried?

Keep it up! Cheerio!

Found one tips for glob... It is easier if everyone on a melee range with glob because:
1. he won't use the charging attack
2. His melee damage is weak and have low hit rate.. rogue with 40% dodge will comfortable with this
3. You'll be able to move behind him faster while he charge his powerful paw attack
4. Very useful in spiders/pumpkin/fog environment, because minimum movement needed

Im comfortable with bow bc my ping is not so good, and found myself die too much when fighting him close bc i didnt run away in time. And even when i was behind him i still died, its same as with Bloodhammer gainning hp even when u r behind him.

It depends on a playstyle, u need to find what suits u more, u can get tips and tricks, but u need to find out for yourself...
