^^ as the title says... but it makes it pretty difficult to Test these areas... never the less I've completed the "normal" Maelstrom Arena... Amazing a true tribute to all the dungeons we've done before! terrible audio quality, crap graphics card... but hey it's a video lol http://www.twitch.tv/trixytricks/v/19434916

whatever...anyway its the only video on my stream I made just to illistrait the half damage.

I'm rolling with 3.7k spell damage rounded up and doing like 3k dps :P it's pretty pathetic...but I made it through. I guess u could also see the mechanics of the dungeon if you guys wanted to watch it. I sugguest u turn down ur tremble and decrease the volume :P cuz it's some pretty shoddy work lol

Nice. I'm stuck on Champion of Atrocity, she pretty much 1 shots me everytime.

And I agree, with all dmg halved its fricken hard to test it.

Here is the guide for vet arena but it also works for normal.

And YES the dmg is too low compared to live.

true... all penetrations doesnt help

Well its a fact you get more damage from specializing in your damage type first in CP, then penetration.
IE if ur using magic, stack thermatruge, if ur elemental stack that, if ur stamina weapon power based, go straight for the increase all physical damage champion point thingie.

Done lots of testing with the cp since it's cheap :P but yeah... after u got 100 in that, diversifying ur cp across the various damage increasing ones depending on ur damage type is the most effective and not stacking all into one because of diminishing returns is the most effective. (pen, more crit severity)

Just finished the normal with v14 template and it was pretty easy except for some stages but as soon as you know what to do you wont have problems.

Tried the vet version and couldnt pass the boss in 1st stage so ill wait for dmg fix then try again but not sure if ill be able to get through vet version since the templates are pure crap.
