Build tips for UMF2?

Tried this on both Insane and Hard. We setup camp in the large flat area next to spawn. Stacked Auras & Traps as tightly as possible, and even had a few Deadly Striker Towers. Can't even get past wave 1 :( My group has 5-8 players at any given point. We usually ran out of time, but occasionally ran out of lives. Splitting up the camp does not help, as Ninjas still demolish everyone with 87 Resist. Suggestions are welcome.

Strength, Electricity, Heal, Inferno in the center for fighting. 2 Electricity, 2 Proxy, 2 Inferno at back. 2 Electricity, 1 Strength, 2 Proxy, 2 Inferno at front lane. 1 Electricity, Proxy Inferno on the spawn to the right of the front lane. 2 Electricity, 2 Inferno, 1 Proxy to the left of the front lane.

Assuming the busy lane is the front lane.

Outside of ninjas and ogres, very few things get through.

Wyverns tend to hover outside for no reason. I lost with 5 left at 14th round. I'm pretty confident this setup is the way to go though.

How do you survive them? I get one shot by Ogres even under my Apprentice Guardian boosted Strength Drain Auras.

Screen shot please..

I can't even play the map. Ogres run around randomly and sometimes just float off the roads.

I'll definitely give this a shot. But could you elaborate and what gets built during the first wave? (and where, for that matter). Whenever the group stays inside the camps, we can't kill the baddies fast enough. But if you don't stay in cover, 87 Resist does nothing against Ogres and Ninjas.

lulz

stack every aura + trap in center of spawn and then 4 more stacks of traps around the center

i have solo'd up to wave 4 on insane using this method with mediocre gear

mystical loot starts to drop during/at the end of wave 3

unfortunately after the latest hot fixes which claimed to stop mobs from getting stuck, more have been getting stuck, making it often impossible to get past the first few waves


just as a note, i have seen:
-ogres sliding across the map
-mobs stuck beneath the surface of the map
-mobs stuck in spawn
-mobs running circles in spawn
and probably some others i am forgetting


edit - you can build everything during the first phase. if you solo make sure you plan the route for grabbing mana to avoid wasting time

This new patch has completely screwed up the AI for me. I'd say 90% of the time, Ogres were getting stuck in the open area to the east of the map.

I tried building there, which seemed to work good, except LITERALLY EVERY TIME Ogres started getting stuck at the far west spawn on the lower level.


Sorry I didn't answer the followup questions to my setup, but I just see no reason to at this point. Once the AI gets fixed, or I find a way around it, I'll be more than happy to help if I can.
