We have to wipe first
What a (good) surprise.
Also, this week's PoE 32 is Qodron, as predicted.
Skolas seems to be "melee damage boost" only, says the website.

Level 32 Arena Strategy Guide-
BREEZY'S 'BREEZY' STRATEGIES!
This weeks episode: Episode 06- "Qodrons Quirky Quipu!"
Starring-You!
This map should be self explanatory. I'll explain what the different colored lines mean. So the basic strategy of this, if you don't have Gjallahorns or want to waste time waiting for synths, is pretty simple. The first thing you're going to immediately do when you enter the arena, is rush to the right side of the arena. Or where the blue dots are. There is decent coverage here, but we'll talk about that later about how it plays into the decision to choose that side, let's talk about the mechanics.
Qodrons Eye
This is the first 'Mechanic' you may see. One Goblin out of the many Qodron sends towards you, will be a yellow bar Goblin who's also shimmering Silver. This Goblin will home in on the closest Guardian-So it's paramount that you and your group rush to the right side or you might lose him before the first jail. If anyone lags behind, the Eye will go towards them and he'll take an alternate route. If you look at my drawing, the dashed silver line represents this. If one of your teammates lags near the entrance, the Eye will take the route as drawn. It is paramount to have an eye on the jailer, and to have a designated 'Jailbreaker'. Qodron throws out the first Jail about 30 seconds after the start of the fight, and then about 30-45 seconds later after that. You can immediately kill the first Qodron you see and have enough time to clear the first jail, but after that you have to stagger when you kill the eye. There is always atleast 1 eye spawned, and as soon as you kill it another appears to take it's place even while you still have the buff. So keep an Eye out!
Qodrons Jail
Every once in a while, Qodron will summon a jail. This jail is incredibly strong, and will resist all gunfire unless you have the Jailbreaker buff. It is paramount you designate an eye killer, so that he can break you out. Only 1 person gets the buff, but everyone gets jailed. The Jail will also do damage to you, and will kill you if you are low.
So onto the actual map. I drew two silver lines-One is full and one is dashed. If you are all on the right side, the Eye will take the full silver path. If one of you lags, the Eye will be set to the dashed line and you might lose sight of him. Now you're wondering, 'Wait why doesn't it just walk directly to us?' There is a natural slope that prevents Vex from walking up towards you. Refer to the picture again. Do you see how the silver and red lines penetrate the dome? There is a little entrance to the right side that goblins and hobgoblins, as well as the Eye itself are funneled to get to you. Refer to the mass of red dashes, that is where most Vex will huddle around, and only 1 or 2 hobgoblins will come at you at a time. Unlike the left side of the arena, which is a flat ground and goblins will happily walk over to you. The only time a Vex will get to you, is if a Harpy will accidentally fly over the slope, realize that he came in too early, and exit stage left in shame.
So why did I only draw one silver line for the Goblin? As long as you and your team are on the right side, the Eye will always take the same path, walking towards you and walking around the 'Block' and going into the entrance on the side. He will ALWAYS pass by right in front of you. However, so will some hobgoblins and goblins. most of them bunch up by the entrance to your little slice of heaven, but you should never get any goblins assaulting you directly.
The only other thing to worry about is ammo. Since little to no goblins are near you, you'll have to venture out to collect ammo from the heaps of corpses infront of you. Call out to your group for 'Clear out some adds in front' or say you're going for an ammo run, there's usually plenty if you've had one person clearing out huge groups of adds with grenades. Voidlocks are actually pretty damn great for this fight.
And that's it. I hope you enjoyed the guide. Now go get him, Rangers!
Edit-Oh yeah during the actual 'Jail' mechanic, group up to the rightmost area behind the rubble, nothing can hit you on the rightmost side.

Yeah sent you a FR join us
You gotta be kidding me! Does Bungie have a weird fetish where they enjoy putting up stuff with a freaking stat they know people don't like?
Yep, just saw. For the third week in a row he has sold a full strength roll on armor. If you bought all 3, which more casual people will need to, to get to 34, you will be well over the strength cap (by 80 odd). PoE is already well behind ToO, but that shit is a joke. It saves me doing 2 32's this week at least.

My guess next week is Variks is going to sell boots with pure strength.
Really Bungie? I bet the next stat will be pure int, then pure discipline, .....
I guess we'll get our Int+dis before the new expansion is out.

Bungie does this shit on purpose. Helm in POE is all strength while in ToO has a great stat roll. I guess PvP is the way they want to roll now.

Wonder if it's going to be like last time... reset in the morning.
Best moment in trials. Having no enemies in the opposing screen made me laugh
Yeah they announced it. Comes with the mysterious patch, also.
Hahaha, streamerhouse underestimated the priest, stood in front of him thinking he would go down quickly, but they were too slow, adds came in, and they wiped. Hahaha.
