I understand hc nm mm misty drops are supposed to be good...

But really? This just dropped for us on wave 23. Yeah, new all time high for me and my crew.

The negatives on health is pretty bad for a dps monk, but I mean come on. The damage and boosts are a bit ridiculous.

Wow, congrats!

Care to share strategy/build/stats? Group size? Time it took to get to 23?

Was that really the BEST thing that dropped in 23 waves? I'm not exactly encouraged. :/

hmmmm i though the highest damage the could drop was 4k even in late hc mm survival drops. Would love some sort of confirm or sometthing from Trendy.

Never saw base that high even on wave 30...

Steam ID please

Well "best" item is subjective. The item came out of the wave 23 build time chest. We have 4 people; dps/hero skill monk(me), hybrid app, 2 dps huntress'(one switches to tank squire at wave 16). Most of us are wearing armor around 240^ now, though I think, don't remember for certain, that our app has a few pieces still around 200 since we haven't found any really good hybrid armor thats higher.

As for strategy; I wont give a specific layout because it is ours and took hours upon hours to refine and perfect(if you can call it perfect). Our strategy/layout in waves 16+ is different from anything before because of the spiders, they are just too dangerous after that. I'll give ya this though, enrage aura's proved to be key for us not having to deal with most of the little creeps.

Understand that we GOT to wave 23, however we all died and lost most of our defenses near then end of wave 22, luckily the ogre was finished off by our spider towers, then we just had to wait for the last spiders to despawn themselves cuz they dont move if there are no players alive. Ogres running around with 20mil hp and moving as fast as a max speed adept are not fun in the slightest; nor are the spiders with 150kish hp.

What.. no one is going to do it? Guess I will then:

It seems to be issue with Misty mire special loot, like all those bug & spider themed weapons or monk rainbow horn etc. You wont see same issue with generally found items throught older campaign.

What's to confirm? He got a drop that's higher. That's like the weatherman saying its going to be sunny and warm and somebody gets rained on. You wouldn't call the meteorologist to confirm the weather when its standing in your living room and dripping on your hardwood floors.

Oh, circa....

Ocean dub was awesome.

Not quite, lol. It's more like saying it's going to be sunny out and solar flares hitting the earth.

Shame about the -14,000 projectile speed. Do they even move?

Projectile speed is hard capped so they will move.

They'll move. Just..not quickly.

wait what? "it is ours" how selfish can you be? srsly man how would it hurt _YOU_ if someone you never even gonna play with play with your tactic? 14 years old or what? "ITS MINE YOU CANT HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Wow, that's even crazier than the new squire weapons that drop in misty. Congrats :)

Seems sky's the limit on this map for some reason...

Some people just like to be original and not copied. Developing strategies is part of the game, and there is a competitive element to the game for some players as well. Not defending the wording they used, but just providing another outlook. It's like a sports team not wanting to reveal their strats, it's personal to them and their key to success.

Yes the game is co-op, yes the scoreboards are infiltrated by hackers, but yes it still does matter to some people to try and get somewhat of a top score. :)

That being said, I'm not validating the above poster or their runs, don't know em or a thing about em, and I've never seen anything like that drop.

I wasn't even going to respond to such a remark, but... do you expect everything to be handed to you for nothing? My crew has a strat that works of us. We literally bled for our progress, well one of us did anyway, but that is a different story. Put some time into what you like to do and you will feel a sense of accomplishment instead of getting everything done with no effort on your part because you dont like to "think".

you're late. the school bus is leaving soon. don't forget to kiss your mummy and grab your apple before getting on the bus.

Every 'difficult' map requires painstaking trial and error, retesting and restrategizing before reinvesting more time just to see the setup get wiped on the later waves..... etc..

I'm sure it's this time investment and creative planning experience (not to mention personal satisfaction) made that many players in any game do not want to share strategies with. Regardless if the game is competitive or not, and sharing strategies 'could hurt,' that reason alone will stand.

Of course, there are some that are inclined to help others, but there's no use forcing those who aren't to do so.

You're always so skeptical Finally, lol.

I've had ~6800 base on a Monk melee wep before, but never imagined they could go to 9000+. And damn, that Hero Atk/Skill 2 is nuts; nice find!

We have 4 people; dps/hero skill monk(me)

He said hes a dps monk, so im taking he has a dps weapon..... what i dont get than is why he would go through the trouble of dequipping his weapon to make a screenshot of a weapon dropped from a chest. Like not wanting to show his own weapon or anything else for that matter.
Just screams hacker.

Besides that he only has (Dungeon Defenders 178.2 hrs / 281.6 hrs) played and 7 posts on the forum. Knowing that you need to sell a lot of crap to earn mana to upgrade it seems even more suspicious.

You're always so skeptical Finally, lol.

Lol can you blame him?

so as some people are stated there are currently 3 flaws;

he unequipped his own weapon before screening, indicating he probably has a hacked weapon equipped.

He talks about how he "changes tower layout" after wave 16+, which makes absolutely no sense considering a strategy that works above wave 16 sure as hell should work below wave 16...

that weapon is imcomparable to anything that has ever dropped...

First of all: if you don't aim at the weapon for more than a second or two, it won't show your own weapon..
Second: maybe they're using a more offensive strategy first to make the waves go quicker and then change to a way more defensive strategy that allows them to handle the mobs at later waves.
Third: sure is but why would anyone post a pic of a hacked item and saying it was a drop? That's the dumbest thing I've heard.
