My trashlock became fun at about +20 to skills around lvls 80-90. You can't faceplant into some shit on p8 tz herald, but you can faceplant the rest of the game on p8. Worst thing that happens at this low gear lvl is that you have to 'slow down' and actually let your summons kill something beefy. You can take every act boss with ease, it's only a matter of getting to them if you dont have enigma. I'm schlepping it with blade warp lol. I was able to kill mini-ubers, and bought a lvl 6 lifetap wand, but never got the nerve to do the trist ubers. I dont think i can do uber ancients at only +20 skills.

How does demon size work? Since spearwomen are size one and tainted are size 3, they will block your spearbae untill they move correct? Can she still atack from „behind“ the tainted?

What about lister or other size 3 monsters ? Will they move directly or are they still blocked by size 3 tainted?

What about running a size 3 bound demon with defilers? Since defilers are only size 2

Does size of your bound demon matter at all when it comes to effective Telestomps or will they always have to unclamp somehow no matter theire size?

Definitely recommend telestaff over blade warp even with a trash setup. I just picked up armors and wands and stuff to vendor until enigma. Blade warp is just too garbage



All minions will always be stacked and immobile after teleport with tainted out yes. Spearwoman can and will attack on telestomps but cant chase unless you move off. Won't make a difference if the bound demon is size 1 2 or 3 since tainted are 3. Defilers have floating movement though. So generally you want to telestomp right on every unique pack, or deathmark the clump into it, but either way you want to plant your demons on top of enemies. Tainted will kill stray trash mobs at range as you teleport around but the bound demon wont

Thanks once again! Does this mean if I play some build with defilers a size 3 demon could move right away ?

nope the stacking become immobile any time you have even a single size 3 minion of any kind, which stops any size 2-3 units from walking off
Size 1-2 units still only occupy 1 tile as an obstacle, but size 3 units occupy the 5 tiles cross as obstacles. That leaves only the adjacent vertical/horizontal tiles in the 3x3 square open. And since size 1/2/3 units look at a collision of 1/5/9 tiles to be able to move into a tile, size 2-3 units can't move into the open tiles, because the 5 tile cross they look at would still see the size 3 unit blocking them in that tile as well.

I think it would be helpful to have a decked out maxroll planner in order for people to test the build properly. Ive kinda put something together myself so ill see how it goes.
