magic missile machine guns.

I wish the 'attack rate' stat worked on console version - my towers say they can fire once every 0.33 seconds, but it's a lie. It's still just 1:1

[xXGameDOWXx]

give us toutorial on how to get a god blasticus

[lucianodsb]

This tutorial is "kinda" old, now electric auras cost is 5 defense units instead of 3. With that, isn't possible anymore to put snare auras in any spot with this strategy :)

[TheMaRaTHoNSNIPER100]

Nice vid bro and how u get the ogres child hood toy i hav it i just want better one plzzz get back to me and thanx for vid

[henryremember]

[LyingDeadAwake]

I beat that level on insane in 7 minutes exactly

[MrMastaGunz]

what patch was this?

[chili24137]

jesus, almost 1m exp from just ONE DUNGEON, omg..

[Billehification]

@chili24137 You can top 2m on this dungeon if you manage to grab all the bonuses.

[mastela88]

i ALWAYS get double red ogres...

[gutkesanchez]

so would this build be pretty sweet, for a hard, survival level?

[reino411]

Hey can you do this with a lvl 39 squire {attack and health} {tank}

[LionHpro]

@reino411 no you cant, you dont have enough attack nor health at lvl 39 to do insane



[lazysn1per]

@reino411 hell no

[MrLimezzzz]

Nice tutorial, Could you inbox me a message explaining the way to upgrade your armour on a dps and tower dps to give everything maximum bonuses? Cheers :)

[MSDPC123]

what is your new build with the higher monk aura caosts?is it still possbile now ?

[dakke47]

After testing:

203dmg/61spd = 19%

128dmg/30spd = 22%

128dmg/61spd = 22%

So yeah, damage affects ensnare percentage. Can't say for certain at the precise rate, but 25 points per percent implies that the change of 31 speed should've made an impact if speed affected ensnare, yet it didn't, so...

[jetah]

Aura effect speed affects the ensnare aura.

[dakke47]

@jetah How? Aura Strength affects the percentage they get snared, what exactly does speed do?

[ViciousXUSMC]

@dakke47 Speed effects how many times per second the electric aura and healing aura "tick" it does not effect strength down, ensnare, enrage, those have a constant effect and the effect is made stronger with more points in tower strength.

[dakke47]

@ViciousXUSMC That was my belief as well, hence why I questioned jetah. I'll make some tests on my own later today, when I get off work... he seems to think aura attack speed affects ensnare percentage, rather than aura strength.

[jetah]

@dakke47 Aura effect speed changes the percent at which the mob is slowed down. when i increased my aura attack via TF2 pet, my ensnare didnt change percents. when i equipped a pet with a much higher Aura Effect Speed my percent increased (test was from 20% to 23%, but I do not remember the base numbers for the hero).

[ViciousXUSMC]

@jetah Sorry but your mistaken. Its attack that boost the ensnare not speed, it just takes a lot of points to influence because its not a dps tower so instead of getting say 3 attack per point it takes maybe 20 points to get 1%

[DreadtheLord369]

hey Visious, what software do you use to record the gameplay?

I can't seem to find anything that records as smoothly as the software you're using does.

Thanks

[ViciousXUSMC]

@DreadtheLord369 FRAPS

[DreadtheLord369]

@ViciousXUSMC thank you

and thank you for the tutorial, it really helped me (:

[Darkphoenix2011]

@ViciousXUSMC hey i just got this for xbox and i was wondering how long it took to hit 70 and how you changed your armor or is the armor change just pc?

[TheHammEEEr]

@ViciousXUSMC No offense, but your voice reminds me of microsoft sam. Good guide btw :)

[jackycmc328]

one of the best tutorial of Dungeon Defenders ive ever seen :D

[GeomighTNYC]

what does your build look like in v7.10e w/ the new DU's to monk.. now @ViciousXUSMC

[ViciousXUSMC]

@GeomighTNYC Same just in center only one fireball & one MM on both sides, all other chokes the original 3 towers.

[thn10606]

How is it that the Wyverns keep taking out my south crystal? I place them the same as you do. Is it not possible to do it with 99/106/97/127 stats?

[dakke47]

@thn10606 I had the same issue, as my apprentice is my weakest char, so I adapted slightly. First, I removed all MMs from the chokes, using only 2 FB at every choke. Second, I removed the safety-wall between center and east crystal, and just paid attention to the map instead. Third, on the bridge to the north I used an ensnare trap on the right side of the bridge and a MM turret on the other side (placed on pillars with flames on them). Will continue in next reply...

[dakke47]

@thn10606 Continued; At the bottom, I used a DST to cover the southwest path (placed on the corner pillar to the SW of crystal) - but it needs to hit for ~8300 to oneshot the later waves, so upgrade it if necessary. To cover the final path, I dropped another ensnare at the far northwest corner and a MM behind it, near the crystal. One final MM used to cover the crystal, just like he places one of his. It comes out at precisely 165 DU.

[thn10606]

@dakke47 Thanks. I'll try out your strategy and see how it works.

[xXxXxXxHitmanxXxXxXx]

do you only farm insane for godly gear?

[thn10606]

Could you explain armor set bonuses more?

[dakke47]

@thn10606 If you have a complete set of armor of one type (leather, mail, chain, plate or pristine), all your armor gets a 20% bonus to all their stats. That is to say, if your gloves would regularly have, say, 10 tower attack, they would get 12 tower attack.

[MrJeffkeuh]

Can you make a summit insane solo guide?

[ViciousXUSMC]

@MrJeffkeuh Did this (2 of them)

[Atle92]

We have very similar taste in games, almost a little scary. Love what you are doing. Let there be more! Dungeon Defender is awesome!

[xXxXxXxHitmanxXxXxXx]

and where did u get your huntress weapon the m16?

[ViciousXUSMC]

@xXxXxXxHitmanxXxXxXx Insane Assault Challenge

[xXxXxXxHitmanxXxXxXx]

where did you get your squires weapon ?

[ViciousXUSMC]

@xXxXxXxHitmanxXxXxXx Insane No Towers Challenge

[EzPzGaMeR]

noob guide FTW!

[tleytek]

use the hotkeys man! T.T theyre time savers

[SirKoroshi]

Don't you want to place magic missile towers for wyverns?  You can place 2 of them instead of 1 harpoon. I found this more effective against air. Anyways great video mate.

[XxBulletProofxX27]

i noticed that you only pick up armor and not weapons... is it because they sell for more?

[ThisNameIsNotTaken99]

@XxBulletProofxX27 It's probably because you get really good (best?) weapons from some of the challenges, but armor has to come from drops. If you leave them on the ground they get sold automatically when the next round starts anyway.

[ViciousXUSMC]

@XxBulletProofxX27 Nope, because I am hunting for some good 18-20 Upgrade Godly armors, weapons are better from challenges and events no reason to pick them up.

[ThisNameIsNotTaken99]

Thanks for the tutorials - would definitely be interested in a general tips/Q&A style video

PS: hotkeys are your friends :)

[ViciousXUSMC]

@ThisNameIsNotTaken99 I can hotkey 1-4 easy but 6-0 use the right hand that I keep on my mouse. I personally prefer to keep my fingers on the mouse and the wsad keys rather. I can navigate the summon menu while still moving but if I use the hotkey I would be immobilized. Also my keyboard is blank so I do everything by touch I cant use those keys with the left hand via touch only via looking.

[ThisNameIsNotTaken99]

@ViciousXUSMC Yeah I can't get past 6 myself. If you run the config tool before you start the game you can set custom keybinds, although obviously what you're doing is working for you :p

[ViciousXUSMC]

@ThisNameIsNotTaken99 Well... I guess I am going to do it. I started the first episode yesterday but I just was not happy with how it came out. Going to record again and try to get the first episode of Noob School up. First 4 Episodes are about the hero's, there abilities, builds. towers, and roles. Next episodes will be about each map, places to build, choke points, and other strategies. Thats the current plan. I'll let viewers post questions for Q&A on the next video in the series.

[ionrayvapor]

@ViciousXUSMC And also may you make a video about where you get these armor and pets for PS3 please

[TheNgub]

Why did you grab the equips off mobs? I thought they were always trash...

[MrAndrozz]

@TheNgub he is picking up gear items so he can use them for sets on his other chars, i think :P

[ViciousXUSMC]

@TheNgub Insane Glitter (and Hard as well) has some good mob drops. Chest are usually best but why not grab it all. Plus sell it for mana later. Somebody stated that selling stuff yourself gives more mana than the autosell @ end of wave. I have not tested myself to confirm.

[ionrayvapor]

@ViciousXUSMC It does because even though you are alone, it still averages all the mana...

[davidkrzic]

are you selling stuf or no?

I play demo and I look that I dont have too much stuf becuse the max mana is 5000.SO Its good to sell stuf for mana if you need it.

Onli a tip if you didn't know.

[TheTeiresius]

@davidkrzic your trying to give advice to someone with four 70's about selling stuff after playing the demo. roflmao

[davidkrzic]

@TheTeiresius wat I did just telld him how is in demo

[ViciousXUSMC]

@TheTeiresius 6 70's :D the other 2 are on the 2nd char page.  Trap Huntress and DPS Monk.

[SerKharl]

@davidkrzic he already had 6 million mana -.-

[tanazaer]
