Hackers?

[Mochan]

Just entered a Chaos 3 game where one guy with a Champion Rank of 7000 was defending with just three towers, 3 Earth Shatter towers facing the spawns. The range was ridiculously long and wide that one tower could cover two spawn points, and each was shooting so fast it was like a jackhammer, and it dealt an unknown amount of damage.

When I checked the DPS it was only rated for 10,000dps but the damage dealt was already -2 billion and it was one shotting everything that came out on each portal (at the same time). Was this a hacker or can you really get this crazy strong later in the game after tons of Ancient Resets?

just a high end player

[Mochan]

Are there some hidden multipliers that apply to the towers? His Earth Shatter tower was only rated at 10k DPS but was one-shotting everything. My Earthshatter tower is 100k but doesn't even do half the damage his was doing.

[Rude..Boy]

I think there is a bug where other players' tower stats get displayed wrong.

[Asphe]

A typical Chaos 7 equipped player can shut down any lane up to Chaos 5 with a Flame Aura each without upgrading. A 'max-range' Lightning Strike Aura can cover half of the smaller maps ^_^.

It's just the gear / shards / mods plus some Ascension [the gear do the bulk of the heavy lifting, by far].

There is indeed a bug where the actual stats on stuff only show the 'default' state, i.e. as if the hero has nothing equipped.

[Lohki]

The 10k you saw was a tooltip bug. It happens frequently. WIth just range gambit, you can push 6000 range with the tower. Add on deadly strikes or vicious strikes makes it even more obviously. A defense rate capped ES is .75 sec attack. With nothing worthwhile, a typical def rate capped ES with a destruction shard should be at least 3.25m dps tier 1. The ~2b damage dealt is easily reached with the above and the AoE shard earth toss and the shatterquake mod.

So no... nothing special and definitely not a hacker.

Ah it was a bug, gotcha. They need to fix that it's misinforming us newbs!

yeah i thought a guy was cheating once, but he was just geared out the butt had the right shards and chips that made his earth shatters rock everything. flame auras can do it too.

wait till you see the broken as hell EV2 weapon mfr. setup for any map.

[Mochan]

This was actually using the EV2 Weapon MFR setup. Just one on each entrance, shocks them in place, then the Earth Shatter smites them while they can't move.

Some people don't use Earthshatter but the EV2 with Earthshatter is a great combo because it has the raw damage to deal with bosses as well to go with the mass trash mob damage and CC of the MFR.
