I just recently came back to all these map changes and thought I would try a hoard map last night. A few details...gargoyle, doing the myst/RC thing, luck suit around 2500 with crap for the rest of the stats. This worked fine before on everything but frost dragons. Last night I cleared the spawn no problem, then got stomped after using remove trap by the guardian and whatever that aoe is. I got one shotted each time. Finally gave up on it. I think I need a little more understanding of a few things.

Does gm remove trap totally prevent the guardian/aoe thing?

Will full resists make the aoe survivable? Wondering if it's resistible at all.

How much does luck really factor in? A previous post suggests not much.

...to what level map are automatons feasible?

Good for stash/supply/cache maps. If it can defeat things like ancient wyrms, yamandons and renegade changelings, maybe hoard/trove. Viability really depends on how quickly it can be healed.

Maxing out resists is a must. High RT reduces the number of "ticks" where guardians appear and area damage is applied. Low level maps can reduce to zero.

In my experience luck affects gear intensity, and cartography and group size affect special items. Not sure its really like that, but it's what I've observed.
