Any wizards out there with redux?

Reduxmage survives a brutal bandit attack!

(honestly, it wouldn't have turned out so bad had I noticed I got swept here right at the beginning. My AS was low, but thought it was attributed to the fucking black crystal these bastards love to throw at me. Text started flying by so I didn't notice what spells were actually removed.)

Suddenly, a tiny shard of jet black crystal flies from the shadows toward you!
[SMR result: 133 (Open d100: 91)]
The crystal shatters against your body and releases a pulse of anti-magic!
Your SIGN OF STRIKING is no longer effective.
You notice your blood flow go back to normal.
The dim aura fades from around you.

The DR Arena is stupid easy with this guy. I don't know why I didn't think of it last year when I ran the arena, but even without any Ambush training he can aim pretty good being fully 1x in CM and using his falchion. I just aim for the head (can't hit 3 or 4 types of creatures as they're too tall for this dwarf), so I take a leg out and then go for the head.

For the more annoying champions that have high DS and since they can't be stunned, I keep them stuck in RT with feint. STOMP with 909, CMAN FEINT, swing at the head a few times (maybe I'll get a lucky crit kill), if it's not dead then I CMAN FEINT, swing a few times, feint, swing a few times and keep repeating until the target is dead.

I was doing runs at 160-180 seconds this year. Last year my fastest run was 196, it's now 160 this year.

Only thing I find impressive about the DR Arena is how easy it is and how you can build up exp fast, sitting on 70K+ in long-term exp that I've built up over the past 12-14 months from hunting and from the arena runs.

Also, I dumped a couple more ranks in PF through Ascension and pushed his redux up a little and it now sits at 13.51%, up from 13.23%.
