28,514, about the same as last league. If I remember I was in before the first player hit the ledge last time so it goes quick considering how retardedly fast people get through the acts these days.

Edit: droppin like flies, down to 24,117

That early tower defense doesn't look all that great. Hopefully it speeds up later.

Should I bother with league? I am still learning.....a lot about this game. Does league matter for me, especially as inexperienced with the game as I am? I have yet to even trade in the game(Save the one time somebody randomly handed me something). If it is competitive, I have no chance at my current understanding of the game.

Sure. League just adds a new mechanic for 90 days. This league it's blight which is a tower defense deal. I'm guessing you can skip it if you don't want to do it. But the majority of it is just like standard other than the league mechanic that is added.

The last league was legion and if you did legion mechanic on every map it really rained currency on you.

Can watch one of the streamers if you want they'll be doing all the blight stuff to see if it's something you want to try. Never played standard but guessing stuff is very expensive there since all the league items and currency get shifted to standard and it adds up over time.

I am thinking I will have to throw some money at this game. I do not care so much about wardrobes but the extra stash tabs and such really would help a LOT.

currency tab, map tab after you start mapping, and a premium tab is all you need. Stash tabs go on sale once a map or so.

Don't log out. If you log out and try to log back in it says patch required, but doesn't start downloading according to reddit.

i crashed while zoning. logged right backin, and dl'd a patch no problem. right back in in seconds.

zombie slam is so strong now. no effort required. it CD recovers naturally between packs.. run up aoe slam kill everything.

An TD plays a million times better then it looks. at least with afk summoner...

Think it will depend a lot on build. Passive shit it will be great (totems, minions), everything else it will suck

I'm doing all I can mentally to just kill shit on the map. Playing tower defence at the same time too much for me. I kind of assumed for no particuler reason that it would open up a new mini map to do it on, no idea why I thought that. I can see if you have a skill that does a lot graphically or mtx for it the screen could get pretty busy.

so, i was debating doing the immortal infernal legion golems. Then, while playing, trying minion instability. and starting leaning towards that. necro- infernal legion+ele focus, etc... (carrion golem 80% more damage, should work for both infernal burn, and minion instability.)

but really... zombies+carrion golems is just ridiculous with no effort. So might just go that. necro. 2 golems via tree, a clayshaper or 2.
May need to consider if 4-6 carrion golems+elem golem buffs are better then 2-4 and necro buffs. (doubt it)

For summoners, make sure you use Feeding Frenzy on something. The buff it provides applies to every minions as far as I can tell, so like the linked minion has agressive and some minion damage but then they proc a buff for all your minions that gives minion speed and more minion damage, which is pretty great. I have it on zombies so it's 100%uptime. With this and Carrion golem buff(which is amplified by the golem passives on the tree by a large amount), minions do a shit ton more damage than they used to.

Click to expand...

Just clear the area around Blight event before starting it, then you can focus on lanes. Blight mobs show on the overlay map too.

Yeah I saw that on the first one. I may try again later on in the league. Maybe some kind of totem build. Not really the league just me. I have a difficult time focusing (eyes) from one thing to another without a delay. I noticed it was odd trying to kill stuff and look at the monsters and then back to read the deals on the towers you click. Nothing to do with the game.

I'll probably reroll a totem type build. Have to see if I can get the same name again . WorriedAboutMathil
