I have apothecary at 242 speed (before aura) and use battlesage for 19% boost
Apoth casts boost speed and is intended to go first.
Battlesage is 220 speed, and is supposed to cast attack up
Then i have either warmaiden for defence down or my first nuker (tuhak, 4.1k attack, 90% crit rate, 160% crit damage in savage gear) at 217 and 215 speed
And finally i have zavia - 205 speed 4.3k attack, 101% crit rate, 180% crit damage.
Not end game but not a newbie set up surely?...but i cant stay in silver reliably, i am in and out. When i do get to go first i dont have the firepower to finish them...
A month or so ago i was in gold and staying in gold easily, what has changed?
I think it is matched on player power, mine is fairly high and 1/3 of the time i face opponents with arbiter... i think if i deleted half my faction wars players i would do much better which is a bit silly.
