Jeffrey--

Welcome to the wonderful world of duelmasters.  And might I recommend arena
53.  One of the nicest areound...

11-12-7-11-6-12-11
This guy is o.k.  Not much you can do with a 6 WL; even at 11 you're limited
to ST, AB, PR and possibly SL.
Option 1: 11-12-7-17-6-12-17 AB,PR, or ST with 2 bonus points.  If you went ST, I'd put the 2 in SP or ST; PR or AB maybe WL (can't hurt...)
AB's are very difficult to win with.  Challenge TP's and scummy WS's.

17-13-7-10-5-9-9
Ug.  The low WL kills this guy too.  17-13-7-13-5-14-15 ST or
                                     17-13-7-13-11-10-13 SL

17-10-13-12-10-3-5.  Ow.  I'm of the opinion that most real warriors need an
11 DF.  Though BA can get away with 7; and a very good SL or LU with 9.  This   guy is not 'very good'.  either : 17-10-13-17-13-3-11 or
                                  17-10-13-15-15-3-11
1st guy Another striker!!  BAa. Pretty damn slow for anysort of offensive.
And not enought WL for a real defensive.  2nd rollup you could try a WS, or
PL.  1st, is going to be about the same for any offensive, though 13 WL is
awfully low for a LU.  It has been done.  I have a decent 3 SP ST, but
he has a 21 WT (and 18 decis skills in 8 arena fights, + 17 tournery)

12-9-12-5-13-10-9  Well this guy has the WL; but no WT!!!  Best long term is
: 12-9-12-11-17-10-13  TP or WS, probably mediocre.  LU or SL maybe.  DA if
it doesn't learn _at least_ 1.5 skills/fight.  I _don't_ recommend this
but you could go 12-15-12-5-17-10-13 TP--scum.  Run in full plate, 2 shields.
1-1-1-x-P.  But DON'T bring it to 53...  Scum win, but the fights are boring
and everyone will hate you.

11-10-8-10-15-10-6  A good WS is 11-10-8-13-21-10-11; you can bump the ST and
CN basically 3 times for cheap.  This would also make a pretty good LU.
Other option in 11-10-8-15-17-12-11  A pretty decent SL.  Your best roll-up
The WS will probably win the most.

As a team I guess I would go: PR, DA, ST or PL, LU or DA, and WS.

Later,
Ben Hitz
