Crystalline Dimension NMHC 1K Build by wat

By wat [VR]

Many people have asked me about the stats requirement for Crystalline Dimension Nightmare Hardcore (CD NMHC). I have already shown you that Mythical-geared builders (2K stats) can clear it easily (thread here[forums.dungeondefenders2.com]). Here, I will be showing you how to clear CD NMHC with only 1K stats.

This is what happened

Someone posted in one of my guides claiming that he could do many maps with builders wearing only Godly armors. I thought I should give builders with only Godly armors a try. But then I said to myself, armors are for the weak (as well as many other things such as Ensnare aura etc.), so I decided to do CD NMHC with naked builders.

This is what happened when I did the run:
1. No armors on builders.
2. No builder weapons.
3. No hero points - all hero points invested into cast rate.
4. Only Godly/Myth accessories and pets.
5. In order to lower my Summoner stats to 1k, I removed one of the pets, so there was only 1 builder pet on my Summoner.
6. Only Myth DPS armors on Jester.
7. No event items especially overpowered ones such as Rainmaker or Celebration.
8. No Super Legendary Monk skin benefits.
9. I'm sure I can make it with even lower builder stats. But that would be more of a show-off rather than a helpful guide. Plus, I'd rather spend time doing map requests for our group members.
10. For those of you who are interested in seeing my first armorless and weaponless CD NMHC run, please watch this video.

@Chillz
Well, your wish just came true - my Ultimate Old One Guide has just been published.
It took me weeks to make the video - more than 20 hours of pure video editing, and over 30 hours wasted on failed rendering attempts in Sony Vegas. BUT, if the video is helpful to you guys, it's worth my time and efforts. Do remember to like/favorite it if the guide is helpful to you.

@かすみ
If you just need help with bosses, join our group chat - there are plenty kind people there willing to lend you a hand.

As to how often a request can be submitted by each member, it varies depending on the map itself. I highly recommend you try request a map, then you'll see. (I'm not sure where your confusion is. It's best if you can see for yourself how our group works.)

And about my last reply, I was in fact saying you might want to carry others some day (not being carried) and therefore you need better stats, which is a new "motive" for farming.

@wat hm I'd love to join your steam group but I dont need anyone to carry me through anything I can already build any map by myself I just need someone with a high boost monk so I can kill the bosses faster on ww and grind coal faster but I suppose ddfr only does one run at a time ?
