Any tips on how to survive 55 rounds in the Arena?

I laughed out loud in public when you posted this

Anyway, I will take a guess that you are a 2-hand melee, so generic tips:
Cast Protection (heavy) / Shadow Veil (light) and Regen, dont bother with Cure unless your hp is in red zone
Balance out your stat, even Int should be around 0.8 of your level
Kill the monster with highest mana (50% zone) first
Max out HP Tank and half of MP Tank
Stock up mana pots, dont bother with health pots
Dont bother using skills until the last round, use Spirit Stance instead

If you are Light armor:
Dont bother with Leather armor, use Kevlar of Protection or mix with Shade of Fleet/Shadow-Dancer

Otherwise, Heavy: use Protection/Turtle/Ox/Slaughter/Barrier, dont bother with Warding, Wind-Waker or Lightning-Child craps

2-hand: Mace for Light/Heavy, Estoc for Heavy, try find Slaughter/Ox suffix, dont bother with Longsword or Scythe, your Bleed damage is already pity enough.

Sorry about me being a noob.
However, is the monster lab important?
Should I even bother with it like serious business?
Or can I just ignore it and sell my crystals for credits?
(After all, there are people willing to buy them.)

Here it is, sorry it took a while.

Don't mix and match your set. Either full heavy or full light.

With that said, your equips are really, really crap. You should stop training for a while, save up money and get a nice plate of protection set. That's the direction I think you should go, for now.

EDIT: Also, you should look into training your proficiencies. All of the critical ones (curative, supportive, deprecative), you're seriously lacking. They should be at least 70% your level IMO, better if at cap. You're wasting a LOT of mana by leaving your profs that low.

My advice still holds

Dont mix armor type, stick to just one type. Since you are using scythe (which you shouldnt be using), perhaps try full Heavy armor? Stone-skin and thrice-blessed aint good, compared to the protection/ox/turtle's overall mitigation bonus.

Relocate your EXP Tank into other area: Mana tank, Protecion, Haste, Regen, Weaken, Spark of Life, and Imperil (Dont pick Offensive spells unless you plan to balance between mage and melee).

Get your Agi up, but keep Int around 0.8 of your level, you wont need it if you are going to melee.

No problem. I'm going to give you an approach that I think will be *more beneficial for you overall*

Right now it looks like you're concentrating a lot on +exp. But I would say it's making you *weak* for your level. I'll give you suggestions with a scale of 5-10 (10 = what I think is absolutely essential while 5 = optional)

Abilities you should get
The rest of the haste levels (8.) <- longer duration means more bang for your mana
Shadow Veil (8.) <- increases your survivability
Spark of Life (9.) <- keeps you alive from 1 shots/unprecedented damage
Protection (10.) <- very useful for a heavy armor user
Weaken (6.) <- useful vs hard hitters like manbearpig and friends (stops crits)
Imperil (6.) <- gives you +damage. great vs bosses
Mana Tanks (9.) <- gives you more mana for your self spells/cure
Regen (10.) <- I forgot all about this. Very useful and important.

Where do the Ability points come from? Either do a re-allocation and take it from the EXP tanks (no point leveling if you can't survive long at your level) and Ability Boost Training (you can probably get 15 more of that easily)

Lower your intelligence. It should be the lowest stat out of your 6 since you're a melee fighter. Keep it consistently 10 points below the next lowest attribute.

Get more pack rat trainings. More items = more potions = more survivability

Look for weapons + equipment higher level than yourself in the WTS section. There are *tons* there that sell for cheap. Put on a heavy pair of pants instead of those shade pants

Thanks a lot for the advice "Grandmasters".
Especially dcherry for the equipment.

there's nothing wrong with using a scythe. just make sure your weapon is higher than your level/same level as you.

How it look now?

The selling point of a scythe lies in bleed damage and that got nerfed in this patch. Also, judging from your damage and prof, you wont be dealing more than 200 damage per tick, which is pointless since you probably can kill a monster in under 3 hits, bleed or not, anyway.

You are better off with using estoc or mace instead, since the damage bonus is quite high and the proc can be very potential in clearing multiple monsters, thus improving your survival rate. Estoc is great for higher damage output due to Penetrate Armor's 100% reduction bonus and mace for slow-but-safe stun

This scythe I'm using right now has the highest damage. If I'm got a better weapon I would replace it.

How it look now?

Pick more supportive spells suggested to you, especially spark.

Also, don't choose a weapon just because it has highest damage. Estoc has PA, mace has stun, and both PA and stun will increase the damage output in various ways.

Just wondering if the ehwiki's section on equipment proficiency is up to date?

so I got my Arcane Meditation recently and it is great.
Now I was wondering how I should change my gameplay based on that.
Pre-lv 130, I was recommended that I use a staff of focus and elemental clothing and do lightning-fire combo in battle.

But now that I got Arcane Meditation, I can probably replace my staff of focus with staff of destruction, right? and I was wondering if I should specialize my magic by getting heimdail clothings or something. or if I should rank my tier 1 magic to farm in normal well.

anyways heres my stat/item/etc

Damn, looks like you got screwed, that Focus staff is from the old patch and dont have the Mana Conservation, which you should be looking for in a Focus staff. Destruction isnt really needed unless you want to deal more damage on higher difficulty.

Try find those non-burden clothes, most clothes you have are from the old patch, which would hinder your survival because of Evade

Try get your Supportive, Deprecating, and Curative up around your level, since your primary survival spells (Regen, Cure, Shadow Veil) are dependent on these.
