Warrior/Ranger w/ a pet & 45/-2 in hex shield is superb in there ^^. got 16 in a row but we got RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOy and lost to some nuuuuuuuuub team.
But armor isn't factored in, so your class doesn't matter..and I dont see an advantage to the shield either...Dmg Reduction doesnt count in there, and your HP is autoset to 500..
-------------------------
Atleast you found a team that actually knows how to play -_-
I tryed for an hour, and got only people are either:
1) New players who ran around doing nothing wondering why their skills are gone.
2) people that just called a random target and wanted to spike dmg that target.....while the other team has a free day running presents to their avatar.
A global thing is NOONE realized that Kills mean nothing in there..its basically a relic run map..you win by running the presents to your Avatar. Noone cared or tryed to stop present runners, or anything.
Damage reduction from my Ascalon piece is taken into account as I am only taking 48 damage from snowballs. If you're looking for confirmation that the damage reduction is global this is the place to test it.
Woo! The new snowball arena is great! Especially when you get an indestructible team as I did; we only quit after our 22nd win because we got bored/were near to starvation/etc.
