Too high damage in arena

Greetings Astaroth

Today Shadowform was disabled in arena aswell as the last Master Buff that was useable. This has caused arena games to be so much burst that it's not even fun. A game doesn't last longer than 20 seconds, and it's all about bursting the enemy down with as many abilities you can. I think we should aim for an overall slower pace of the game. My suggestion is to reduce damage by 50% in arenas or increase healthpool by 100%. Those numbers might not be the correct ones, but my point is that right now it's not even fun to do arenas, even when winning...

Sincerly Conducted.

I could not agree with this more... Arena games as of right now is a nobrain who got the highest burst. No cc, no healers, no skills. It's all about who goes in first plays the best class and pop all their burst abilities to win in 5 secs. Cc doesn't do anything because if you try to cast cc you will be dead while casting it. There has to be some dramatic changes for me to even consider playing arena because as of right now it is unbalanced as f*ck.

Hello,

Thanks for your quick feedback. Would it be enough to make some buffs available? If so, which one are you suggesting?

a custom damage reduction buff would be the best.

exactly this

I agree with Colonia to make it equal to everyone, so everyone has the same debuff when entering arena. It how ever should NOT be a damage reduction buff that paladins wings can bypass.. So probably a direct damage decrease to the player instead of a damage reduced taken debuff.
