Best approach - DR (Mid level)

[nocturnix]

Hi Everyone.

I am doing great on my COL pure bard in Duskruin Arena. But now that i've burnt through most of my xp boosts I want to do some arenas on my Wizard so he doesnt fall too far behind my bard in levels. Getting perfect wins would be nice, although I'm not sure how feasible it is with my current build etc. Since wracking reduces bolt AS by quite a bit it could be near impossible to get a perfect with this wizard. I'm considering lending him my aura enhancives from my bard and trying some CS spells, but I dont think his CS will be high enough in major elemental. Normally i bolt with fire on this guy. Any suggestions for tips/tricks on best arena outcome? Considering i'm not capped?

Even if i cant get any perfects, getting a decent BS return for the exp would be worth it for me.

My only thought would be maybe try using 502. You'd get the mana and not lose the CS. Our spell ranks aren't comparable but it scales to level so this should give you a decent idea of where you might be. I'm not attuned to anything so if you were set to fire results may vary. I wasn't channeling like I normally do hunting for the phantom endroll bonus. Only thing I can see is lack of speed maybe.
