This pretty much sounds to me like a bunch of ignorant players complaining about things they have minimal knowledge of. It's really quite simple; adapt and conquer or don't adapt and lose all of your money to me 8-) . also, FYI, rarely do people below 100 combat do anything but weapons only with the main variation being specials on/off. And as for the 118 that loses to 100's... part of that is that i know 108's with better stats than you do and also your style, first hit, and many other factors play roles in winning or in your case losing. The great stakers spend more than a few minutes or a few stakes at the arena and learn the odds and how to give yourself the best chance for success.
