    atm i got 50 painbringers,100 devastators level 1,204 doomhammers level 2 and 215 firestorms level 2,the rest being voodoos.
    I got 376 cannon slots,and my current setup now that cabin boys got reworked is:164 firestorms,62 dooms,50 painbringers and 100 devastators.
    Running only doomhammers,painbringers and devastators results in a 3.37 reload time which seems considerably high.
    My question is,should I upgrade the rest of dooms to level 3 or 4,so I can make space for more firestorms/voodos,or should I leave them like that?

    Hey @ntc1010 ,

    leave it like that . Theres a simple rule for upgrading cannons with you should remember forever! Upgrade only these cannons that are not in use.

    eg.

    You own 350 doomhammer lvl 0 but currently you can put on only 300. That makes 50 spare cannons and only these cannons should be upgraded. Reason ? You will end up with very few dooms lvl 4 ... that will be disadvantage for ya due to damage loss.
    Try to gather full doomhammers , do not look at reload time right now because thats nothing ;) 3,51 on full set , 3,2 on mix not such a big diff is it ? But damage hohoho ;)

    Hello KRUCHY,thanks for replying.I was only aiming to use my current setup,so that would leave me with 142 doomhammers sitting around.I don't plan on spending money at all on any more cannon packages.I personally prefer faster reload speed,the .65 difference is for sure noticeable.I'm playing on EG7,which is only pve,and most of my time i'm shooting events and doing quests,so I hope you can see my point.

    Hi, while what kruchy says is generally a good rule this is not always the case, it all depends on what will take the place of the cannon you lose. I can send you a beta copy of a calculator I'm working on if you like so you can see what combos will be best for you.

    HMS-dozza if you would like to post it here feel free. I am interested in seeing it as well.

    I am aware it is missing some castle/skill and some higher level buffs but all the key features are there and it can be very useful for seeing how different cannon configs work and what your best options are. Bare in mind I've not put much time into it yet so usability isn't optimal.

    I'd love some feedback

    You will have to save a copy to put in your own values.

    I've made some improvements during the course of the day that I hope make it a bit nicer to use and look at, the old link should still work for the updated version.

    Being as this is getting a tad off topic where would be the best place for me to make a new thread to share this?
