The new holiday 'Help Wanted' mission is absolute garbage and pretty much displays almost every single control flaw and enemy AI problem that the game attempts to pass off as genuine challenge.
Gosh, the arena battles are still intolerable as a wizard the higher you level up. The AI is absurd, they can hit you perfectly from off screen, they know exactly where the border of your visibility is, and have a tendency to hide under the HUD that takes up like 25% of the playable area. I'm mainly speaking about fighting other wizards because fighting monks or warriors is a pointless endeavor unless they are at least 5-8 levels beneath me.
I've been playing this game as a wizard, pretty much since day one, and I have to say that the arena is intolerable unless I'm battling another wizard.
I really don't understand why wizards are naturally the weakest class with the weakest weapons, the sorcery armor doesn't make wizards faster or have more health, and the wizard skill set doesn't include a healing ability. The only benefit is the ranged attacks, but when you are fighting PvP enemies, who are much faster and stronger in a very small arena; it's pointless.
I really don't understand why potions are allowed to be used in the arena, like at all. I'm a wizard and we are basically pathetic enough as it is against warriors or monks. It's absurdly difficult to battle against someone 3 levels beneath me (with comparable gear).
Seriously, I have been playing this game for a while and have reached level 37, and every level at this point consists of the "challenge" of filling the screen with enemies that spawn randomly and shoot in your general direction. I'm also extremely tired of arena opponents who use potions.
