well 166 rounds on BT is 10x3 exp? that would be worth doing everyday?

Yes, but why do I need EXP anymore? There's nothing left.

Oh, if you start that now on BT maybe you'll finish by the time the next patch comes out.

Hell no. I don't start long arenas when there's rumors of new patches coming out. Last time that happened, the AP page got reset and I had to start over. In fact, that happened on both AP page resets.

You'd probably spend a week doing it and then get a potion drop as the clear bonus and kill yourself. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

That too. I'm not doing it until this is changed. The re-clear bonuses for EoD+ should also be raised. No fucking way Endgame and End of Time should both be the same. The initial clear bonuses for EoD+ were peanuts to begin with.

Would've gotten further, but a dalek showed up a couple rounds earlier. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

hahaha great razor...
but what you used to get at that round?

6x Godly Mana Potions (which I got all back through monster drops)
2x Mana Elixir

I used Cure II because I was down to only 300HP, so I tried to heal myself and they ganged up on me and killed me, lol.

Arcane Focus helped out tremendously in saving MP...used mostly Blizzard to one-shot rounds until around 285, when I had to start using Fimbultver to clear rounds or die in the process.

Why are you using cold?

Edit: also, don't use cure II... use spark

Not a big fan of Spark yet. Why wouldn't I? I use cold because it is second least resistant after Electric.

when you miss or resisted your ass will be in pain without spark, you are rich, train 5 ap ant get that
cure II can be useful only on 1vs1 clash... it's outrageously mana expensive in other runs where you can recover with second winds or regen

My regen is not very good (Only heals around 73 HP a turn, when monsters deal more than 200 a turn (in arenas/random encounters))....otherwise, I would use it more. I would love to train 5 AP into Spark, but I won't use it anyways, because I use Scrolls of the Gods whenever I need a Spark because of the other added effects.

You should really get Spark.
I've probably used Spark more than every other supportive spell combined minus AF.

Well, let me explain the reasoning, so you don't have to go just by my word alone.

As long as you have available spirit, casting a spark is superior to casting a cure for several reasons:
It uses less action time. You can cast Spark and still cast an offensive spell before monsters can hit you, unlike Cure II.
It costs a little less mana.
5 turns of invincibility should not be underestimated.

While it's true that one can use Scrolls in place of Spark, those aren't infinite, and there's really no reason to burn credits if it doesn't actually save you any time.

Also, once you get to the point where you can consistently one-shot everything, you'll find that you'll usually get enough mystic gem drops to keep Spark/Regen/AF active from just that alone.

Thanks for the reasoning. I appreciate it.

It helps me understand the benefits of it now.

In arenas 220 and after, monsters besides those found in the last round of the arena only have a 10% chance to drop their trophies....this was done becuase otherwise, people would get too many trophies too quickly.

^ I'm completely aware of that, but with only 4 dropping out of 74 legendaries shows how much a waste of time these arenas are
