So current arena has basically become horrible. THere are currently 2 maybe 3 viable party builds. The strength of your group means nothing. So tired of getting my butt handed to me by a team that is half the strength of my party. Arena has become NO FUN! and a tedious part of the game. When their is a difference of 60K in strength and party gets wiped in 1 round there is a problem. I have heard this complaint from MANY people.  

Suggestion:

Stats bonus based on party strength difference - Your party gets a stats  bonus based on the difference in strength. THis would require folks to be more tactical in choices of party build. Basically 0-10k difference no bonus 11-20k +10% 21-30 +20% etc. 

I think he is saying the opposite... give the high power team more bonus? Not going to happen either way.

Selfishly, I suggest maybe giving all auras other than speed a 2x bonus in arena

Reread - Power difference gives team with higher power bonus to stats. This stops the high speed quick strike teams that make up 80% of teams in arena right now. Arena is horrible and needs a major rework.

That suggestion will only help speed teams and wreck the high defense high resist teams

Giving an extra stat bonus to a higher power team when fighting a lower power team is counter-intuitive.  The solution for "power" is for Plarium to rework the formula to incorporate an accurate representation of the stats that matter.  Whoever wrote the power formula had no idea what was important, and the entire team of developers seems to not care at all.   

For example: Speed is the most important factor in Arena performance, but it is hardly factored into "power" at all, while resistance carries the most weight.  How dumb is that when it doesn't matter if you have 300 resistance against their 200 accuracy if you have 150 speed against their 250 speed with a turn meter manipulator.  Even if they can't debuff you, your team is dead before you ever get a turn.

Well then, it would give advantage to High def high resistance teams like mine... Which still means unfairness.

But I have to ask everyone, because I want to confirm a suspicion of mine

What kind of teams do you see on your arena list?

Btw, someone sayed that there is less and less speed nuked teams, that is true, why they will put speed leader aura if is enough to have one set of speed to act first and whipe out oponent in first turn with attack or crit dmg aura leader
