If you have the stats, but are losing on nightmade difficulty, you need to adjust something. Many have mentioned different characters, which is a no brainer, but I'd also suggest having multiple pets. Currently, I roll with: A Huntress Guardians for my Squire/Apprentice Builder. I have an awesome Trans Genie (for tower upgrades) and Mythical Djinnlett (keeps invis/ps going) for the later waves for my Huntress. Those will make all the difference, trust me. Interesting catch 22 there. My pets lack but to get new pets I need to clear NM maps. :)

Why not play INSANE mode if you don't like the challenge? And if you're so sure the flames will come, doesn't that say something about what you're writing. It's almost like you realize how what you're writing sounds like a person who refuses to adapt to change and play a game that involves some level of challenge. Honestly, I think it says more about my expectations of people in the interwebz in general than it does about what I wrote. I'm not trying to rant or flame. (And to the early poster, I think of a rant as being full of anger. I'm not. I'm more just kind of depressed, so to me that

This isn't a rant, or a flame. It's just that I'm a little frustrated and a little sad and I felt like I had to tell the developers that while I liked your game a lot and had a lot of fun with it, the constant changes and difficulty increases are really wearing me out. I just have the one toon that's high level. And spiders were tricky at first. And then there was sharken. And just as I was getting a handle on that, you go and start throwing ogres at me two and three at a time. They walk up, blow through my apprentice walls and I lose. Game over. I'm just trying to have some fun on nightmar

I found a progression thread that had some good tips on handling nightmare endless spires for an apprentice. I don't have the link any more unfortunately. There was a layout suggested but also some principles. Namely, you don't have to win per se. You just have to survive the first wave. Then you can farm the chests and get some mythical gear. Once you do that, you'll be able to start surviving more and more waves and farm more and more mythical gear. I've managed to survive all the way through a few times, but it's somewhat luck-based. Now that the new patch is down, it seems harder. I

Thanks much! Between this advice and another thing I dug up much later, I managed to survive the first wave of nightmare which got me started getting loot and things took off quickly from there. A lot of farming later I've almost managed to survive the whole set of waves. (Almost...)

I've been sorting through some of the forum posts and tutorials but I can't seem to quite figure out what to do next. I just hit level 74 but have no mythic equipment. I've seen videos of people getting the stuff starting on nightmare endless spire, but I stand no chance there. They have tower stats in the 500 range - I can't even make it through the first wave of nightmare on the first map. My tower stats are 139/177/149/154 with a 65 hero speed. How do people hit those stats? Is it the mythic gear? If so, how do you get started even getting some drops? I mostly play solo, and have
