I have not startet Gauntlet yet and my clan has already finished the sentinel goal, lol But I think the 7 fights per clan member should be doable even before AAA, right?
You are correct, there is a lot to do right now. But all/most of the Arena things go together, Gauntlet is not that much work I think. I will skip the frozen dungeon, as insanity appears to be really hard and I just won't bother for these lame rewards. Some powerslave to play the troopers will be enough for the other goals. Skull quests we do anyway. Raven's altar is meant to fill the gaps between events - if there will be any we have the full month to finish that. And we'll need to see how many frags the other events will give us.
The worst thing in my pov is the arena strech goal for 500 wins that still give the event frags - but we can compensate via raven's altar. However,l this will be very ironite costly and we can't do this every month!
