Veteran Maelstrom Arena Scaling?

Are characters under vet 15 supposed to get scaled stats like in dungeons/Orsinium/Imperial City?

Earlier, I gave vMSA a go on my vet 2 Sorc expecting to get nowhere l but I actually managed to get to the Rink of Frozen Blood :lol: then the melee damage became too overwhelming for my shields, to the point where if my shield (hardened ward) dropped, I'd pretty much be dead. I noticed how low my stats are compared to when I'm in Orsinium... is this working as intended?

    On normal, but I'm 100% vet is a straight up VR16 journey???????

    Yeah I think they were v16.

    In vMSA at Vet 2 I had around 29k max magicka, 13k max health 1.6k spell damage, 1k mag recovery

    Outside vMSA at Vet 2 I had around 39k max magicka, 22k(?) max health, and 2.4k-3k spell damage with 1k+ recovery

    I'm confused xD

    They're your normal Vet2 numbers, no scaling in vMA

    This is weird, because when I got to Rink of Frozen blood I just died instantly with no enemies anywhere to be found. Then I resurrected and died instantly again without a single enemy in sight. Never had the gumption to go back to the arena again.

    EDIT: And here some of you are talking about actually seeing enemies and such... welp.. that gives me hope atleast. Maybe it was just a glitch and I should give it another try before my sub runs out again.

    Sounds like a glitch to me! strange that... I clear it weekly on my main and have never had that glitch before. Has it happened multiple times or just once? because you could have logged out and restarted the game quickly and it would have kept you at that current stage (I think within at least 5-10 mins of logging back in)

    PS... your spoiler is amazing. :lol:

    Normally maelstrom enemies definitely scale to you. If you have a strong build under vet 16 I implore everyone to run it once a day... The xp in there is INCREDIBLE!

    I put my vet 14 in there yesterday with an xp pot and went up nearly half a vet level (pretty sure it was more but I'd rather not exaggerate haha).

    It does scale yes. I just completed vMA on my VR2 Dragonknight. I even got the restoration staff! So the weapons scale too.
