Zargala is a straight upgrade over Warmaiden. No question she is better. But, can you afford to book her? She absolutely needs her A3 booked four times, to bring her chance of landing the debuff to 75% (80% with Sniper). The same goes for Alek - he needs his A2 booked four times to have a 100% chance to land debuff. Dhukk needs five books on his A2, and needs to land a critical hit as well.

If you can get the books, then yeah, absolutely swap WM out for any of those three. If you can't, then stick with WM. The fights you'll lose that you would have won with one of the others are few and far between.

Regardless of which one you pick, you need to make sure they have enough accuracy to land the debuff. That's the most important part. The relevant equation is that you want ACC between -20 and +10 of their RES. At your rank, it's unlikely you'll be facing high-resist teams, so you can probably get away with as little as 150 ACC, though I'd probably want to have at least 200 to be safe.

Lastly - don't forget Perception / Swift Parry. You can reach 270 speed without any speed set items at all, if you go with those sets instead. 

Amazingly helpful, thank you!

Go complain somewhere else. Or start your own thread. Don't derail someone else's thread just to vent.

Also, just to be clear, team power and player power have ZERO influence over how many points you get for wins and lose for losses. They are absolutely unrelated.

But your'e spreading misinformation if you say a resist team would lower your arena points from victories.

The points you get/lose for a fight depend only on your actual arena rating compared to your opponent's rating. If you have 2500 arena rating and win vs. 2300, you get only +4. If you win vs. 2800 you get +17. Team power has nothing to do with that.

Alright, apparently you need another break, sir. Kram is in the thread trying to help another player who has a positive attitude about the game and you can't help but take this as an opportunity to off topic whine some more, and then be combative, on top of it. 

This is precisely how it works.

Thanks for your help Krama and Skadi. :) :)
