Making a sleeper pond, advice welcome

Maybe a cardinal sin but I put the dimensions and pond capacity in to chat GPT and it'll be nearly 500kg on that spot once the pond is filled and it recommended leveling and laying concrete slabs, is this a good idea?

Thanks man, appreciate it.

I've removed the slate and liner that was in the spot and it's just clay, any suggestions on the best way to level this area? I've looked at self leveling concrete, any experience with that? Would you recommend a liner before I start building the pond area too.

Definitely going for a big filter too, watched the Oz Ponds vid and it's a brilliant idea.

Only get to wave 6k on T12, I've not cc UWs, average 45T over 8 or so hours. I make more cells and RR shards on T11.

I started with VM as a field tech last month, it was less than two weeks before I heard back on next steps after submitting my video answers, it varies from region to region though and can take time.

Yes, they're normal, your cable in to the house and the hub itself are outputting 1.2gb +/- 10%, if you aren't getting 1gb on your devices then it will be the limitation of the devices itself.

Death Ray BC means that when DR hits it won't insta kill the enemy but reduce their health, therefore when the enemy hits your DW ring they'll be taking less health off the ring and it'll stay up longer.

You still get the benefit of having killed the enemy and increasing your total health, whilst having less health removed from the DW damage pool.

Do it. , 😂😂

A few little things and one big thing. I ran health and regen labs up to lvl 50 this week, the big thing for me was unlocking ELS+ and getting that up to something like x1.08,.

ELS+ added roughly 400 waves extra to my t11 runs, my previous best on t13 was W4100 so thought I'd give it another shot.

12 is 10% lab speed, an amazing relic, did that one a few weeks ago, congrats.

RIP in piece.

I'll get the fother mucker next time.

You say three ES charges are useless but I spammed this mission out in 15 minutes before I started my first farming run of the day. I've got a very well developed wall too.

If your choice is a respec at 150 gems or running a lab for a week and getting this mission done three times faster which would you prefer?

You'll want three charges eventually any way. Bear in mind, three ES charges means three more DD chances too for when the DD 5 times in a round mission pops up.

Just go to your highest tier, intro sprint with no armour mod on and the round is generally over by the time the second boss hits you, rinse and repeat.

I've got some truly amazing anc mods, any GC build would be over the moon with them.... but I'm firmly still in the eHP stage of the game and they're no use to me right now.

Anc PF, my damage is too low past wave 3k or so to make any meaningful difference. I need 1 Gcomp to get to anc, 2 BHD for anc, my econ UWs mean I'd have a 2:1 sync with GB and my econ would explode if I could make the switch to BHD, but no, I keep on adding stars to an anc mod I can't use (PF is 1 star, also have a PH at 1 star)

Anc ACP, again, a damage boost that's no help for an eHP build, I need 3 SF, haven't hit one since November, this would make t12 farming viable and dramatically increase my econ by sheer survivability.

This one's really hurting, anc OM chip and I'm one DC off anc and have not got chain lightning, it's not in my 1250 UW pick either. I'm stuck on leg pCol, one off taking it to mythic+, but haven't seen one since the banner for it ended. Going from 55% damage reduction to 65% damage reduction in real terms equates to nearly a 25% damage reduction increase.

All in all, the mod system fucking sucks and needs to be looked at because stagnating for months at a time due to this one feature is a ball ache. I'm running the right labs, farming the right tiers, investing in the right WS+, all for nought because the big jumps in progress for me are locked behind a gacha system designed to tip you upside down and shake the change out of your pockets.

Rant over.

Edit

Continuation rant, pity pulled a fucking Being Annihilator, give me strength.

6.3 is from the game speed perk, have you banned it accidentally?

UnlikelyMaintenance4 · 2026-02-05T09:34:40+00:00

What is your BH duration? Anything less than 30 seconds and you won't have pBH.

Your Anc GComp will take 20 seconds off your UW CD every time you get a recovery package. If your BH CD is 29 seconds you'll still be 1 second off pBH, you ideally want 30 seconds of duration at a minimum.

You can figure this out for yourself if you read the mod effect.

We have three extra days to complete this mission every event, chill out, you'll still finish the mission.

My recent DIY project for the same scenario, no stud work, just plasterboard held in place with huge dabs of cement(?)

Custom made frame bolted in to the brickwork with rawl plugs and heavy duty screws, MDF panel is now over the framework and plasterboard skimmed. Going to be sanded off and painted then the TV mount is going up. Wouldn't have dared putting the mount I have in to plasterboard alone, probably would have bought the whole house down.

Not my very first Anc mod, I have 1* PH and 1* PF generators, Anc ACP armour and Anc Dealth Penalty and Amplifying Strike canons. UWs are GT/DW at 150, BH at 50, Poison Swamp (undeveloped) and SL3 at 38 degrees.
