Love the arena ladder. Love the ladder changes allowing you to see other peoples skills they use. It’s a great way to put your build against others in your class and a crude way to look at overall class balance. Right now there are 2 major issues and Im not sure if they are bugs or coding limitation.

Character arena waves do not reset with a new patch. I had a 313 wave on my shaman in 0.7.3. It is still appearing in 0.7.4. I logged in, updated the patch and it was still showing 313. I just now ran my first arena with that character in 0.7.4 thinking the code needed to have a run with this patch to override it. It did not.

The skills you used in the run you made do NOT stay on your arena profile here on the website. Those skills you see on my shaman are not the ones I used on my 313 run. They are the skills I currently have that I am testing.
Is it the biggest issue in the world ? No but for some of us its a fun way to test build viability and other things while we wait on content patches. I personally would love to see how all the other builds do now after the most recent changes in comparison to one another and right now that is just not possible. I doubt current sorcerers can get to wave 800+. Also I just noticed a character with a 20000+ wave today. I would love to see that video !
Just curious, bug or code limitation ?
I took an introductory to coding class back in college so allow me to try to help.
IF CHAR patch = current patch THEN DISPLAY highest arena wave.
AND…IF CHAR RUN achieved with current patch THEN DISPLAY highest arena wave
ELSE wave = 0
