Just for reference I have been using relic keeper for 10-3 campaign farming. He had a 90-95% success rate until patch 1.15. Now he is completely unreliable. It's not just in campaign, i has been wracking my brain in the arena trying to figure out how my team, 60k strength is suddenly losing to teams 20k weaker. It's not my composition, that would be simple. i have actually watched my damage output drop to almost nothing without any buffs or debuffs being used. Just this morning I watched Khael resist damage from my Frostking, not just the debuff but the damage as well.

Maybe the people you are matched against in the Arena tend to use more Resist and Defense?

Team Strength means just a little warning you need to focus and think your tactics through, nothing more, unless the enemy team is also very well composed. Low strength can actually be deceiving, because if you get nuked at twice the speed you can return the favour, your strength means nothing at all. I regularly beat teams at +20k or +30k compared to mine, that is my 70k+ team can often beat some 100+ teams if they have a badly chosen Aura or the badly chosen character activation sequence, preventing proper synergy.

I’ve done countless test to see what I’m doing wrong. It’s not your imagination. The damage system is inconsistent. I’ve nuked multiple teams but somehow the enemy team always has barely a hairline of health and the boy just comes back around and pulls all manor of bullshit. 

Or you come across a situation where the enemy pvp bot doesn’t even let you have a turn. I’ve been destroyed before without ever getting a turn but the enemy team is slamming me for three rounds straight. Yes! I have speed gear and aura on but it doesn’t do sh*t. I’m f*cking tired of the BS the bots always pull. 

Don’t even let me get into the faction war bosses that one shot lvl 5 characters with upgraded gear.

This game is only about how much money you can pump into the game to get OP legendary characters and books that are almost impossible to get in game.
