Dammit I was afraid of that time to consume my blues that are in garrison.

Don't consume them, they give you might, and you might need those garrisons one day. They don't waste exp if you just take them out of the towers.

How do most people garrison?

When I was leveling my main guys, I didn't garrison anyone so they could level up faster. Now my bottleneck is HB, so I just garrison everybody.

I saw that earlier. You would think that we would get them soon though.

I'm honestly surprised you can't link your accounts so I can play the same base on any platform. I would love to play on FB at home then login to my android when I head out the door.

Got damn you all raking in 7500 badges on the boss fights. I get about 1200-1300, things should speed up now that I have un-garrisoned all my blue heros. I am sitting on 140K in honor badges so I should be good for my 100 upgrades when they come.

So, I found this thread on the IGG forums, and it explains what really happened when everybody thought PD got nerfed. I think I talked about this before, but attack rates used to be rounded up to the next 100ms. In other words, GR (attack speed 750) would actually attack at 800ms just like Ninja. On heroes with the "standard" 1000 attack rate, Berserk 1/5 always had ZERO effect on an unbuffed hero, because a 10% increase puts the attack rate at 909, which rounds right back up to 1000.

The change that everybody thought nerfed PD actually nerfed ALL attack rate buffs, as the game now rounds attack rates up to the nearest 200ms. So now, even Berserk 3/5 (20% increase, or 833ms) gets rounded right the frick back up to 1000. Berserk less than 4/5 only has an impact if the hero gets an additional attack speed buff, either from magic or PD or whatever.

IGG says they did this because the 100ms increments was causing some phones to overheat, but surely they can find a better solution that doesn't make a particular talent useless most of the time.

So, all you guys with 7/9 or higher on your PD, you probably noticed during boss fights that the Celebrate stacking has been choppier than before. In other words, everybody used to kind of smoothly get faster and faster, but now you probably see quick and sharp increases and decreases in attack rates.

I ran an arena earlier as I was sitting about 1300. I ran into a guy about 800 and his people moved so fast I was dazed. Holy frick they were moving. I can only assume it was a high level PD

Does bezerk have an effect on paladin who has an attack speed of 1.5?

I have him using bezerk 2/5.

---

Yes! Funny though, because of the apparent new 200ms round-up, Paladin actually attacks at 1600 normally. But because his speed is so slow, 2/5 does actually affect him. A 15% improvement to 1500 drops it to 1304, which rounds up to 1400.

At least, this is all according to posters on the IGG forums who have apparently studied screen recordings to determine all of this.

Jesus. I hate having to do math to figure out which talents to use

I like it.

So assuming all that other stuff I've been saying is correct, then PD 6/9 will make a big difference for me. Right now at 5/9 I get 30% boost, which gets PD attack rate to 769, which rounds up to 800. At the end of the first proc when he procs again, he gets another 30% boost, which stacks with the first totaling 60%, which gives an attack rate of 625, which rounds to 800 again! The double stack does nothing better than the single, so the triple stack takes forever to happen, if it ever does.

But, at 6/9 35% boost, that double stack to 70% gives a rate of 588, which would round to 600. That would help that third stack to roll around much faster.

Right now I max out at around 16m damage in 3 minutes. I'm thinking PD 6/9 will get me close to 24m.

Bought Immo this morning. 3/5 deadly strike

7500 yea. It is a long way but it went faster than I expected. just make sure your are maxing out HBM, doing the quests that reward shards, and also find the highest level elite dungeon that you can plow through without taking losses and max your attempts at that as well, they reward shards at a higher rate than normal dungeons. I found I could get an extra 20 or so a day just through those if I made sure I didn't let the attempts cap out at all.

Immo's proc is pretty awesome in HBM. Wish his normal damage was higher, but the stun and damage the proc does is crazy. When I get him to 6* I am going to try moving up to farming 'F' now that I have all lvl 8 towers as well. Now that that is out of the way I am going to start donating and attending boss fights on the reg as well.
