On Spiral Shadows, the stun mechanic will not proc on freeing all the obelisks!

Had this happen a few times now. It's pretty absurd. I've tried using the horvars to 'reopen' ostensibly open obelisks, but it didn't work. Eventually boss enrages and that is that. I'm not exactly in the running for Flawless as it is, but when this happens I just have to shrug and start the round over.

On any poison stage, random sliding after getting hit.

Had this one as well on stage three. I'm locked out of my abilities except block. It usually results in an unnecessary death. I can usually make it to the 5th stage before I have my first death.

Horrible drop rates.

This is not new, but it certainly is frustrating! I keep praying to RNGesus for a bow or destro staff...

Horrible frame rate lag

Yup, since the first post-TG patch, this has been a major issue. I get a slide show effect on many stages, especially 2, 7, and 9. The worst is on the final boss where the margin for error is small.

I've also been having an issue with couple seconds of frozen screen followed by unfreezing and really high incoming damage. This usually means starting the round over cause I'm dead.

I had similar experience in my recent runs. This is with was with all addons disabled and low resolution on a high spec PC...

Is there any insight or reason as to why we cant run this from our own computers? Let us download the arena and run it without any of the horrific server problems. Other than a timer and an anti-cheat program, what is needed from a server end? I am not a programmer by any means, but I just dont get why there is lag in a solo instance.

I also dont get why the best items in an MMO or gated in a solo instance, but that is a different debate I suppose.

This is my set up.
Exact same gear. Like literally exact.

Bar 1 (Nirnhoned Inferno OR Precise Maelstrom Inferno)
Endless Fury (helps with the bosses)
Crushing Shock
Frags
Inner Light
Hardened Ward

Bar 2 (Dual Wield Torugs Nirnhoned)
Streak
Hardened Ward
Harness Magicka
Boundless Storm
Power Surge

Overload Bar
Endless Fury
Hardened Ward
Inner Light
Boundless Storm
Power Surge

If i may explain my madness lol, I don't put Inner Light on the back bar only since it's only a slotted ability now. Also, I stopped using Aegis since the 8% only increased my shields by around 1500. Plus that slot can be used for something else.
I totally get the reasoning behind the wall and liquid, but the NPCs move around so freaking much that as soon as they get hit by the moves, they're out of the AoE.
I use the execute as it does help with management and gets powerful mobs down quickly.
I use crushing shock instead for the interrupt. On the bosses, archers and casters, this helps big time. And saves my butt many times.
Streak is for Rink, Umbrage, and Theatre.
Boundless Storm is for the speed and Kynlurkers that attack from stealth. With Storm up, they can't stun me.

I'm not criticizing your build at all bro. Not at all! I was just giving you mine as well.

ESO is nothing but a DPS race..

Fixed it for you.

So what constitutes a 500k+ score? I'm only using exactly 10 sigils the whole arena, and on average it takes me around 1 hour and 17 minutes to complete. Death wise i die around 2-4 times

to get 520K plus scores you need to do it in an hour or less with no sigils and less than 2 deaths, three deaths no sigils and an hour and 6 minutes got me a 507K 1 death three sigils and an hour run got me a 511K

I'd like to add a couple bugs on Stage 9

1. where of you health drops low and you're affected by a dot, you heal yourself, things around you despawn, and 3 seconds later you drop dead.
2. When the crematorial guard tags you as you use the pad to go to the top, and continue to take burning damage until you die.
