Ok, since my interest wanes and the only thing I generally have time to do online is see what kind of creative way I can get killed next is, I'm still making runs on this BS zone.
OBSERVATION: Lev is a death sentence here. You can use it for pulls, but if you have it when you head to a corner and start attacking, you may as well gate to save your buffs. Those are the runs where my parser shows my DPS to be about 7-9k, and the mobs DPS to be about 3.5k after deflection drops. Not healthy.
Ok, so in all my time of trying, I've survived ONE (1) train of any substantial amount, and for some odd reason it was really really easy. Every other train I've attempted I've died on, which is edging up near 20 so far. I THOUGHT I had it figured out with using the corners in the arena area, clicking off lev at the right moment (or not using it at all), but then for the last 2 runs I've come up with a whole new problem. I got PUSHED OUT of the corner. On two different runs. My back was solidly to the corner, I had no lev or any other major screwup going on. I noticed I had a problem when I used F8 to target and I couldn't hit my target because I couldn't see it. They were getting behind me!
So I've managed to go from having the mobs not come in close enough to me for riposte, to coming in, getting behind me, and pushing me out of the corner. Once that happens it's just a matter of time before I die, most of my riposte DPS is being lost because they can still get around my swings, yet are still able to hit me with no problem.
I have no solution to this. I'm just going to try different corners, the corner in question is to the right of the first door leading to the arena area. So has anyone run into this fun issue? Or did I find something else unique to my experience? Will shrink help fix this?
EDIT (9-16-10): The corners are definately not created equal out there. Bringing them in from one direction, I eventually get kicked out of the corner by mob push, going the other direction that doesn't appear to happen.
