Everyone just use Burning Scythe in Arena because it can BURN, deal damage to ALL ENEMIES, and Sorcerer can give you at least 5+2 magic when using purple weapon.
I just feel terrible if enemy gets full mana to use Burning Scythe before you can use it.
The issue is not burning scythe or staff of madness or crescendo, the magic skill is just too high.
Attack is scaled down in arena, but I don’t think magic is. Got one person who wiped me out (whole team but hero) with 2 crescendo and lucky drop
Not in Arena, it doesn’t. +5 from the class weapon bonus, yes. +2 from the perk, nope.
Indeed. ^^
YES! I WILL. =)
Last but not least:
Not exactly. The sudden boost to Magic for some weapons is simply from what I explained in the linked thread:
I would of course encourage you guys to read the rest of my essay and eventual acceptance of this new phase in the Arena in the other thread. But if tl;dr, I’ll just leave you with this:
What about Land Shark? Is a turn #2 devour something we want in this format?
It’s a suboptimal card with a 25% chance of a derp lottery, and people draft it for that reason.
As for weapons being powerful, I dont hate it, but it is going to form a meta. People forget that it’s part of Arena. We now have 4 areas that give magic bonuses when it used to ne 1. No-one remembers that, as Arena was nerfed to the point of pointless in 1.0.8.
well im currently greedy ok, here i’ll be honest. If i can run through the arena twice in a short amount of time, why not do it esp with the double gold weekend, and 2 more magic kingdoms to level to 10.
It always did that though, and it never was a problem just as other weapons did about the same damage as a regular burning scythe, albeit less efficient, and they never dominated the arena.
It really just is the unintended class bonus to hero’s magic in arena that is the problem.
i just had a fight where the opponent hero had 11 magic and the chalice so every cast he gave 11 health and 11 armor to all of his unit, 3 cast and everyone had triple the amount of health they had from the start
so yeah, i’m not sure having class bonus apply to the arena is a good idea
