Battle Arena Musings

Thought I would start a thread for random arena observations, to keep the suggestions thread as suggestions-only.

It seems the special atacks have changed again - I'm only doing 200 damage again (instead of 1200), so now it's weak AND hardly ever hits lol.

Also this just happened:

That's cool, as long as we can score criticals too.

Nothing yet - had one against me (which also killed me) but not seen anything for myself thus far.

As in most games, low level characters need to improve before criticals can happen. I got 3 or 4 crits today over on dev hardware.

I'm almost level 17 too but haven't performed any criticals yet. Although I am currently recovering from a critical hit. Damn Coeurls.

I can 'earn' 45 Exp from a Munmar - on average taking two slaps to down it (either Fist or Sword) and have it, on average do me around 10 HP.
Or, I could take on the next level beastie, the Training Bot, and burn through 75+% of MA and a similar amount of HP for 55 Exp. Does not compute!!!

Training bots have also eaten my armour and sucked me of 740+XP nasty little beasties (though not as bad as the Grim Gazes. Grrrrr)

Trying switching to a fighting class (barbarian or soldier) and see how much damage you can cause. Levelling up makes a big difference as well (but you know that)

I'm one of those 'made my own bed' people - thus I stick with what I got. My short sword noe seems to have sprung into life so a Munmar goes down in one - if I hit.
Therein lies another 'gripe' which others have mentioned - beasties dodge and evade like good'uns with, seemingly, every attack you make. You, however do not. They, also, do not seem to use MA to make use of non-standrd attacks.
