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

Hmm...(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I guess you could've gotten a few more trophies (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

how unlucky... you got the worst possible case of drops
meh 10% is too low, expecially with the joke drops even on last round of arenas
it should be at least 40% just for the effort of doing 150+ rounds

Hmmm... Round 574 in normalfest.
Then I got 1-shotted.

I could've kept going to about 800-1000.
