This game needs balancing between equipment and classes. and solo arena

[kindred lava]

This game needs a solo arena. Nobody plays trios anymore on the SA server because of the archer with explosive mines, the bard with completely broken energy ball damage combined with stuns, and the dance skill that combos with two barbarians—there’s just nothing you can do. On top of that, the balance between equipment and classes is terrible. Even with my full legendary set and good stats, I have to hit a mage with a defense and health build or a barbarian built for vigor and damage 10–11 times (and sometimes even more). Even though my equipment gives 781 defense and almost 35% physical bonus (including the set bonus), my character still falls, and I can’t deal much damage.

The rogue, who’s supposed to be fragile, now has almost 500 health and 215 damage (and I won’t even mention the poison to avoid writing another 20 lines)… the mage feels like a tank too. When a trio like that comes together in arena, it’s almost impossible to win, because if they focus on just one of your team members, there’s literally nothing you can do. (Okay, you might think we’re bad or our equipment is weak, but we’re not—our set is full legendary, reaching almost 800 points; we just don’t have unique items.)

A solo arena needs to be added quickly, or at least everyone should be limited to support-tier equipment. I’ve never given feedback before, and I’m only saying this because I’m quitting the game. I bought the first and second passes and some other items to support you, but it’s just not working.

I agree. Solo arena with a better leveling system so players aren't being outclassed by players with max gear, SS, ect, would be best.

Cap it out at support gear so it's truly skill vs skill. Not this whoever has the most maxed gear and barb team wins type shit.

Rewards also need to be increased...can't even keep the capes anymore.

Thanks for supporting the topic, I believe the community needs to come together to ask for this since I think it’s an important addition to the game. And yes, the gear differences are absurd in comparison — I’ve seen players take 17–22 of my HP with a greatsword, and I’ve also seen players from whom I take 26–28 HP. Runes should be limited and equipment capped at support level to make things fair.

I was talking earlier about arena rewards, and honestly… getting the same cape over and over as a reward doesn’t work. They should add titles, gold, capes, and XP/equipment chests instead.

I paid for the battle pass but I can never even get the 3 arena wins per week for the missions. It takes 5 years to find a team of randoms almost every time I try(usually get bored and quit). If I use mercs I'm just giving out a free win. The best players always team up with each other so they just give out free losses. These strong teams will never willingly accept a normal build as a third. This game has always given solos the short end but arena takes the cake on it

You said it all, it’s the exact same thing on the South American server. The best players with the best gear team up and go to arena, and what ends up happening is that everyone just quits playing because of that, and then you end up facing the same guys two or three times in a row. At this point, solo arena is almost a necessity; trios just don’t work anymore, it’s impossible.

And it'd be nice if this game mode with great rewards wasn't restricted to less than 20% of the population

Agreed
