1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,0
Rinse, repeat.
But tell me Doomikins, how many actually put points other than damage?

I don't remember who it was, but somebody told me a couple of years ago that eventually I'dneed points in everything. Thing is, I had already started so those stat dependent buffs like Rage work as Hoof intended.

I just thought Id add some tips to this thread.
If you have AM 500 you wont need LF obviously. But If youre using a high enough AM (high but not quite 500) and a high enough Conserve and Global Booster you probably dont want to use LF if youre also using Reckoning. If you use just AM + CON + GB + Reck, reckoning will only double your Conserve and Animal Magnetism. So your chance at reckoning doubling will be split between just those two buffs (at 192 this is 19.2%). This basically multiplies your Conserve by 1.192 (if you used the same buffs + Lightfoot its only X1.128). Take that difference (1.192-1.128) and multiple it by your Conserve level (at Conserve 575 this number is 36.8 levels or a 1.85% extra chance to save stamina when you dont have LF on. This might not seem like much but you need to factor in Global Booster (at X12 stamina usage thats 1200 stamina in 100 attacks- so you removing LF in this example would save you and extra 22 stamina per 1200). Even after all that, 22 stamina per 1200 stamina might not seem like much but you need to factor in how many tiles you would actually need to move during the GE hunt. Its a little harder to do but you can simplify it to moving when AM does not activate (this is simplified so you will move even less since creatures will usually spawn more than one per tile and when Reckoning hits AM it will always save the GE critter- making LF even more usless in practice). For AM 460 thats 8% of the time (so per 1200 stamina you will spend 8 walking). Multiply the stamina you spend walking by your chance of LF activating if you want to know the exact difference but in this example, even if LF activated 100% of the time youd still save 22-8= 14 stamina more per 1200 stamina used (or 1.16%) at Global Doubler X12. This number is still small as heck but Id thought Id share it for someone who wants to get the absolute most kills for their stamina, who also doesnt want to waste a AM 500 since I know alot of people also dont like to throw a AM 500 when the GE doesnt replace it. Remember the key is to use just those four buffs or the numbers will change even more (using FI, and LL change this) since more buffs split Reckonings chance to double conserve even more!
Again this doesnt work for all buff levels.
Another tip that will improve the kill count for everyone, regardless of buff levels is to actually suicide the GE creature (allow them to kill you when you miss- no imp or LD, FS, ect). This comes at the cost of your killstreak, gold and Xp so a lot of people will avoid this but its is still an option. You save stamina because when you 2% miss or first strike activates for the GE critter (like the elemental wraith has) you will spend X12 (or whatever your GB is) stamina to kill it (every swing uses as much stamina as your doubler dictates). On the flip side you only use 1 stamina if you let the creature kill you since doubler only works if you win. That way when you would usually use something like 12 extra stamina you will only use 1. This can save you a lot of stamina in the long run and as many of you can tell its how a lot of hunt if youre able to disregard your KS and gold to maximise Xp.
This will save stamina in every instance.

Frozen Abyss needs to be added to your list Egami. It's a level 55 realm that only global creatures spawn in.

Another option for those looking to minimize buffs is use Crystaline let it break and make sure the set stats are enough for your designed setup to kill before starting.
Another option when using Am 500 + and being in a high traffic realm and finding people killing "your" critter meaning you need to look for another is head to the highest realm you can and find the Critter you want to kill before starting clear all others from that space then buff up and go to it.
chances are you will not have traffic looking to kill globals .

There has to be more spots that are less then 10x10 in realms between 25~1000. This thread needs to be updated.
