Maybe this will be a fun thread, maybe it wont. Im currently having a lot of fun running my characters in arena each patch to compare not only the classes themselves but also against other players and the builds they have.
My LICH - Semirrhage - He is normally my first character to run each patch. I actually made it to wave 271 a week or so ago but the game crashed as I was collecting loot and I havent been back on him since. That run was recorded as 266 as I guess the crash affected my last set of 5 waves. I know I can go higher and probably will run him at least 1 more time before 0.7.7.
My SHAMAN - Vanthas - I ran him twice this patch. My last run on him I made it to wave 215. I probably got a little lucky getting him that far and feel good with my progress on him in terms of his limits. Ended up dying to skeletal archers in Woodland arena. Thought I could avalanche them without kiting and died instantly. I dont think Ill run him again until the next patch as I would have just as much of a chance dying before wave 215 as after. He’s close to maxed for me this patch.
My PALADIN - Korimoor - First time I ran him I died on wave 44. I couldnt believe it. I posted in another thread about where I think sentinels rate this patch on arena but it’s tough sledding atm on this guy. My last run with him I died on wave 145. I got greedy and ran up to the ice shard crystal guys and they just evaporated me. I should have kited but I got reckless. Ill run him at least 1 more time this patch I think.
My SORCERER - Kellek - ran him last night. First run made it to wave 240. I died to 2 octopus guys homing cold barrages at once on the Rust arena so I didnt have the visibility I normally have with the original arenas and just died instantly. I really think I can go higher but maybe not much more.
