So after watching the live stream preview today, I think this fun mode of play will be right up my alley, being a huge fan of co-op defense games and modes in general.
With ranger in mind (my main character), I’m thinking trap builds are going to be kinda awesome for this. I’m contemplating partnering up with my warrior friend for this and going a sword/x + cat/spider to be on looter-killer duty while my friend works on killing the adds. I was also thinking of shortbow + wolkitten
da excited to be honest. Have any of you started thinking about cool setups for Trials Challenge yet?
I have found that my normal set up of skills doesn’t seem to affect the pirates (mainly the plunderers) as well as I wanted. I changed my skills to use traps more and frost seems to do a great job in slowing those buggers down. I also trade my bow for a frost bow whenever possible because they do an excellent job at slowing them down. And frost traps before the piles. Also the long bow ability to knock back the target seems to add a little bit of time to get the plunderer killed before he grabs the treasure.
I was able to solo T4 Evon as a full zerker with longbow and Eagle Eye for max range.
It was actually easier than in a group as the groups I tried it with kept running forward and aggroing the mobs and getting killed.
The name of the game is to kill the plunderers while not aggroing the mobs. So if you stay on the left side of the beach at first, and use wolf and dog for their knockdown effect, you can stop and kill the runners before they get too far. After each kill switch to the other pet to get a pet with a fresh knockdown. Also switch pets and run away if you or the pet aggro the mobs. If the runners do slip away the longbow’s range can be very helpful in downing them on the way out or back in.
You can pretty much ignore the mortar guys unless you chase too far. If you are getting hit by them you are definitely further out then you should be.
Contrary to what many have said, there will be plunderers running on the right side even if you solo so you also have to take them out.

I did this solo too and I agree it was much easier than in a group, I found the best setup was using shortbow/sword+axe using axe to pull them back and shortbow to stun I failed a few times because I let my pet run after them and he actually aggroed the extra mobs but after putting him on passive and only allowing him to attack at the spawn it was relatively easy.
I also killed the first couple of mortar guys using drake he and his mortar goes down almost instantly with the lightning bounce I have 0 BM now also so anyone can do that with drake, but you probably can just ignore them like you say on the other hand the first spawns you’ll just stand there though so might aswell kill him.
