Hall of Grandmasters

I just attempted (and failed) this map for the first time today. What masochistic mother fucker came up with this bullshit?!?! Fighting a group of level 100s while I'm at level 82? YEAH THAT SOUNDS FUN.

I got two wings cleared on my summoner by popping the group, running all the way back to the wing entrance (normally because my 28k HP zombies got fucking vaporized), resummon everything, and creep back in there trying to take them out one by one. I'm res capped, I have almost 40% chaos res, and I still died 5 times and only cleared one wing, and about 3 waves into the second. So I got on my Cyclone Slayer, which has been basically invincible on all the maps I play, for the last portal I had left. I get in, pop a wave, and get one-shotted.

How is this fair? How is this even FUN? What is the fucking point of this map? The reward at the end CAN'T be worth this much fucking effort.

You know... they left it up to the players to come up with the Grand Masters. Imagine what the rest of the game would be like if they listened to us.

Rofl. I doubt anyone would play this game if the whole thing was created by the players. Every map would be covered with the most bullshit trollish trash they could come up with. There would be wild dickbutts everywhere. Waifus running at you full bore. All of them level 200, all of them using stupid broken builds. Every single mob.

You are not supposed to breeze through this map on any build, especially not at level 82. This map is arguably the hardest challenge in the game, most people would need one of the few specific builds that do well in this map in order to beat it. My personal choice is scorching ray.

A summoner is about the worst build you could possibly take through this map. What were you thinking? There wasn't a build that could take out a group of monsters?

The Hall of Grandmasters...

Just so you know, each and every single character in there is an exact copy of a build a grandmaster supporter exported. You literally fight the grandmaster supporter. Think of it as a more difficult round of PvP. PvP scaling is in effect there and you get to fight five crazy powerful enemies at once. That thing is not a map as you know them. It's better to think of it as sarn arena on steroids. PvP builds usually get much farther in there than your average map clearing build.

So basically I shouldn't tackle this map until it's like the last map I have left, or I hit level 100. Gotcha.

You probably never should tackle this map. It's purpose isn't for you to tackle it. It's purpose is to let 400-500 people who donated $1000 (or some such figure) to show off either their wit or their prowess with the game. You have nothing to do with it. You're supposed to die and go "well, that was fun".

Im doing boosts in this map for 5c (or 3c+map).

Add me: @Feurari

I clear everything untill last Grandmaster, you come in and get atlas completion.

The map is PvP, once you understand how PvP scaling works then the difficulty of the map makes sense.

I have no idea why this map is Tier 9, it should have its own tier, say... tier: PvP? Every single new friend who starts this game attempts it because they cake walk all other maps and then get creamed. It is extremely unfriendly to new players.
