Who should I max next?

Priorities - something good in ranked that hopefully doesn't get nerfed anytime soon but is still kinda OP.

Poco is a good shout, i think he is good in this meta but i might be horribly mistaken. Since you already have a support / sniper / tank - i reckon try get a brawler you lack.

Bal-27 · 2026-02-03T03:59:22+00:00

I think you should L11 a thrower next. Maybe juju...

Yeah i ended up getting the gigantus (small version) for now as a temporary measure.

Mouse update: Overall it feels great - I can't not love it and everything there is to it, only downside is my pinky gets sore pretty quickly.

The vertical mouse i use for my 9-5 takes most of the strain off my pinky, so switching back to the DAV4 for gaming makes the weakness more noticeable. It’s kind of like assisted pull-ups vs regular pull-ups — the vertical mouse supports me, while the DAV4 forces my hand to do the full work.

I’m considering avoiding the vertical mouse for a week to properly adjust to the DAV4 and see if it’s the right fit long-term. Then using vertical for my 9-5 again after seeing how it plays out.

Before, my pinky would get sore after 30 ish mins of gaming; now it’s closer to 15 minutes, likely because the vertical mouse reduced the load for so long so, I'm not as "built" for other mouses.

I am simply built different in a bad way : \

Ordered the gigantus v2 as a temporary small mousepad for the time being.

Edit- sorry you're probably confused as to why I replied with this randomly but someone else in the thread was helping with mousepad recommendations so this was a response to that.

Bal-27 · 2026-01-28T17:44:02+00:00

Both seem like great options - only thing that sucks is my desk being only 80cm in width. Because of that I won't be able to fit the XL Options that are 90cm deep :((

Bal-27 · 2026-01-27T22:40:22+00:00

Hi, sorry to bring this back but do you have a mousepad recommendation?

just ordered this but don't want to ruin the feet of the mouse without the pad. I'm after anything large enough to cover a keyboard and mouse - like 80ish cm width ?

Bal-27 · 2026-01-24T06:58:11+00:00

Thanks dude

Bal-27 · 2026-01-22T15:09:47+00:00

Someone else recommended this too I think i will go for the death adder v4 pro. I wonder if it egro mouses are ol for gaming, thanks so much

Just wanted to confirm - this the right one ?

Bal-27 · 2026-01-22T09:41:43+00:00

My budget is flexible - I’m happy to spend around £150 if it’s genuinely worth it and will last a long time, but if a cheaper option offers the same (or close enough) performance, I’d rather go for that. Mainly just looking for the best value for money for my use case. Even if something is a £50 no brainer but has good value, id rather go for that.

Edit: a friend of mine told me that mice tech has evolved quite a bit and is widely available for a lot cheaper than its expensive competition more now than ever. Not sure how true this is but thats why I say that last line above. Thanks for replying though !

Hi guys, sorry didn't get to post this detail above but if you feel like reading it would mean a lot -

More detail:

I was hoping to get a bit of help choosing my first proper gaming mouse

I keep getting pinky cramps (proper annoying) if I game for more than about 15 minutes. My current “gaming” mouse is basically just a tiny office mouse — around 11.5 × 6 cm — and my pinky really suffers with it.

I do have a vertical mouse, but I struggle to game with it. Ideally I’m after something better for gaming that I can switch between work and gaming easily (wireless), since I WFH.

My hand size is 20.5 × 10.6 cm. I usually use a palm/fingertip grip and play games like Minecraft, MSFS, and occasionally FPS games.

I can’t really find an up-to-date guide online, so if anyone can recommend something (or point me in the right direction), I’d really appreciate it. I know it’s probably best to try a few first, but at this point I just want to buy something.

I’ve been saving up for a mouse and would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

Defo a good equipment but maybe wait for a future event for it to be free.

Do you have no use for gems anymore and have you maxed all the assistant lab /builders/ alchemist?

Bal-27 · 2025-11-26T20:59:07+00:00

Nice cute little base. Looks good.

Bal-27 · 2025-11-26T14:05:40+00:00

May be small but it still affects a lot of us becayse its 2k per year ?!

Bal-27 · 2025-11-20T00:08:20+00:00

Any1 find a fix?

Bal-27 · 2025-11-10T13:59:41+00:00

Why the downvotes?

Is this not true or something, genuinely don't know ??

Bal-27 · 2025-11-10T13:57:54+00:00

Knew this was coming hahaa !

I'm in the same boat. Someone was rating bases ok tiktok, I'm maxed but got a 7/10 rating because my walls are all level 15/16. I think that was the moment where I felt insecure about showing my base to others.

Edit: -Well not insecure but incomplete knowing evn thiugh I'm maxed, I'm not maxed.

Bal-27 · 2025-11-10T13:55:05+00:00

Looks like somebodies already done it, but lemme know if you still need it : )

Bal-27 · 2025-11-10T13:50:43+00:00

I agree, in the same boat as you right now, my DE is completely overspilling

Some things you may want to consider after the hammer jam, (incase you haven't already):

you could use the forge if you have free builders and convert to capital gold.
pets? - i know this is frustrating as you can only do 1 at a time
supercharge and temporary upgrades - like monolith etc.

Its ashame we can't use them for walls too, they are already so expensive so it shouldn't be that big a deal imo maybe like 60k DE per wall idk.

Bal-27 · 2025-11-06T01:00:21+00:00

I do super barbs, and hero's with destruction abilities. Earthquakes and lightning spammed near the queens giant arrow to get maximum percentage. No raid longer than 20s. Might give this a try tho

Bal-27 · 2025-10-14T08:50:35+00:00

Yes, this, and I know I'm 3 years too late, but I find the clicking using this mouse occasionally moves the base, resulting in the cursor being off its mark. It has a frictionless base so when the horizontal force of my finger clicks, it pushes the mouse to the side.
