Arkhen

Just went in the arena with my lvl 10 mage and a lvl 9 BD against a priest and a pally lvl 11 (for my utter sadness...) The pally went down easily, I don't know how... my partner died not long after and it was just me and the priest, both almost full hp. Now, I was thinking: "Yea, that's gonna be easy, he can't do much dmg anyways..." The damned bastard kept spamming the shield and my mana just kept draining as I spammed my skills to pull his shield off and hoping for a crit to finish him off quickly... but no, he just kept using the damn shield -.-' I was kind of noobish however, using wrong skills, but still, kinda OP xD

I think their cooldown is WAY too long, don't you think? =/

So, have been testing some skills upgrade (by creating a lvl 1 character, lvling him to 2 and testing the skills dmg through 1 to 2). Here's what I got, feel free to fix me please, if I said something incorrectly: Fireball --> Needless to say, I guess... Time Warp --> This one intrigued me. It's range is 5 tiles and this does not increases with lvl. Rather, it's damage does, to 44 to 65, or something near. Stone Shatters --> Here's what I disliked... It seems that lvling it, the radius does NOT increase, or increases little over the lvls (so, at 2 I wouldn't perceive it), BUT it's dmg increased poorly in comparison with Time Warp, it went from 44 to 54. FROM the description i'm guessing that even though SS's dmg increases with Sun, TW's one does NOT, but it needs to be tested. If it's not the case, I don't see the point in raising SS since TW's radius is almost the same and it's dmg would be higher... Illusory Chains --> Haven't raised that one yet, but it seems to be pretty straightforward... (Also, to be tested, it's radius of effect seems to be higher on PVP. I had the impression that the chains was being casted from like 4+ tiles away, but I might be wrong). Sun Armor --> Haven't tested that aswell. It's base buff seems to be /4% in all M.Resistances... Any tips on build? So far I guess it's 5 FB 5 Illusory Chains and 5 SS or TW...
