Editing Kronik's Colosseum Guide (section)

=== Augmentations/Luminance/Aetheria/Other ===
:In the colosseum every second counts in it.  Because of that you want to do the maximum damage you can all the time.  This is where bonuses come in to play.  Augmentations, Luminance, Aetheria, and other items in game all add up to damage.  Your first instinct might be to go with more critical damage but, really unless you are using a critical damage weapon the bonus is wasted because of what is called damage over time.  Damage over time or DOT, is how much damage you are doing over the entire thing you are killing.  Since the idea is to kill everything in every room as fast as possible using something that just gives a CS bonus is not as effective as something gives a bonus to every hit.  For an example aetheria, there are many different types of aetheria to choose from.  The one I have found the most useful is the destruction aetheria.  The reason why is they add more damage per hit verses the fury aetheria that only add a bonus on a CS strike.  It is not that I don't have CS strikes on the colosseum but, in many instances I simply don't get a chance to do any or maybe one per kill.  This is not always the case in every room but, as a majority it is.  Am I saying don't use fury and only use destruction, no.  I am saying this as for me has shown more results.  This applies with Luminance as well.  By giving yourself more killing power you have a greater damage amount that you do.  So having Aura of Valor which gives you a bonus to damage directly is going to help you.  There are others to choose from but, this is the one that has helped me the most.  Augmentation is a similar in that the Frenzy of the Slayer which gives a +3 to damage is going to help you.  Also the Master of the Steel Circle, Five/Four Fold Path, and Focused Eye will have an effect as well.  The Steel Circle and Focused Eye will let you lower your bar toward speed some.  In some rooms I am able to lower my bar to half way.  This means I can get more hits in per minute then if it is on maximum accuracy which will allow me to kill faster.  If you can get a hold of the beers in game do so.  With level 8 spells now being available with a +45 over level 7 spells only giving a +40 the beers help some but, not as much as they used to be.  Beers give a +50 for 30 minutes because of this you will need 2 of each kind.  That little +5 or +10 they give you can really be the difference between beating the room or colosseum or just almost doing it.
