How in the world does anybody even solo UMF?

insane or nightmare? and which map?

On insane, just massive DPS works well, on nightmare, exploiting a few game design bugs work also lol.

If you are talking about insane difficulty, I was having massive trouble until I started using an app guardian. With the guardian boost my str drain is at 7% and my hp aura is at 250+, which means you can post up in a corner and wail on enemies without fear of dieing.(Also need maxed physical resists)

if you're talking about Nightmare I doubt any1 want to share their "secrets", they wanna earn FG first, they don't want everyone to steal their market.

I dont care about FG >_> thats probably why I have 1.9 lol. But yeah...I dont have a good build

Ok, just testing something rather funny that worked clearing the first wave of NM umf without using ANY glitches. This was done with around 600 tower str for both my aura monk and my APP. was a 100% tower build also that worked pretty easy xD. I'm going to try upgrading my gear to see if I can clear higher waves with this xD. Basically....mass lightning towers in a corner and boom everything on the map is dead (have around 500 tower range now). So... it IS possible to use tower builds xD.

Retried with the same setup, same results, so the build is good to farm the second wave xD. I need to try using more FB towers instead tho, like maybe 80% of the towers in FB should kill the ogres faster I think, they would do less dmg to my bunker that way >_>

Its weird how the setup kills everything while only using lightning towers... I'll have to investigate lol. (I do have magic barriers, but not sure they hit wyverns or most the mobs either :S
/e last edit, I do this on UMF 1.0, so I dont get any glitching units, way less aggravating.

Is the gear from 1.0 worth it anymore? Doesn't seem like it unless you do it on nightmare and actually clear it for rewards.

2.0 nightmare, I can almost clear the first wave with shitty gear. I just need like a weapon with about ~15000 attack for my ranger to clear the ogres.

I use entirely elec/ensare auras with strength drain/ensare in the respawn (since inevitably a few spider will spawn camp you there.)

I find that a lot of the mobs simply walk off the edge and kill themselves, with most of the goblins and kobolds dying to my auras.

After about a minute, everything is either electric immune, a wyvern, or a ogre.

Yes its worth it, its in NM mode so you get the same drops in both UMF maps. No dps weapon needed at all with my tower setup. I could have 200+ more twr dmg if I had like...1 billion mana
that would really help I think.

mind making one of those layout things that you use?

Missclicked and there's a random wall, ignore it, thats the basic idea, I was thinking about maybe using a genie so I could rack up tons of mana from back there. This wont work if your stats are 2 low, thats for sure. I was also debating using squire towers in there, but time is limited in solo, will have to try in duo!

Tell me how it goes. Also, dont be afraid to rebuild once things start going down. My big problem with this right now is I have no resists and get 1 shot by anything even in the str aura, a little survivability would really help me xD.

Also, this can get you to wave 2, maybe 3 if you have really good stats, but I really doubt it will go higher than that. The big problem is enrage doesnt seem to work on ogres, and I need something to stun them, does the hunter trap work on ogres?
