Best Build of Clockwork Swarm

Really digging these little guys atm but cant decide on which build is best:

69 nora with rend 1 and swarm or
61 nora with rend 1 and split

currently leaning towards swarm as numerous may make the split easy to deal with by a single aoe spell what do you guys think

 

Also on a side note im currently running the following construct deck are there any tweaks you would advise:

16 Champs:
2x Clockwork swarm @ 69 Nora with rend1, swarm
1x Dwarven Engineer @ 68 Nora with boost 1, Mason 1
1x Dwarvern Sergeant @ 64 Nora with Surge enemy, defender 3
2x Dwarvern Tinkerer @ 49 Nora with Boost 3, Mason 3
2x Groble Dervish @ 74 Nora with Beserker 2, evasive 3
1x Groble Rockeater @ 58 Nora with calcify, Vul: acid
2x Mettalic Slag @ 77 Nora with Fascinate, hallucinogenic
1x Mountain Sentry @ 65 Nora with retreat 1 and detect 3
2x Silverclan hoplite @ 72 Nora with end aura 1 and block 2
1x Silverclan protector @ 102 Nora with pummel and protective
1x Silverclan tinkerer @ 56 Nora with mason 3 and grant aura elec

9 Spells:
2x Groble bombardment
1x groble strike force
1x hammerstrike
1x macadamize
1x melt down
2x repair
1x tales of valor

2 Relic:
1x earthshaker
1x ironfist standard

3 equipment:
1x forge hammer
1x tactical manual
1x vial of holy water

 

Just a thing about the upgrades: For the dwarven engi, i prefer pay another 5-6 nora and take boost 3, for the oplite more 3 nora and take aura 3.

fro the clockwarm, swarn is the way.

 

69 with rend1 and swarm, no doubt.

 

awesome that's what I was thinking but wasn't 100% sure thanks guys

 

Have you considered Dwarven Handler @55 Nora with Boost 2, Rev em up

 

I'm just now looking at your build.

Needs more ranged. Turret is really great. Frost turret and then a hard choice between bolder throw and magic turret. Prob bolder throw.

GSF X 2 definitely.

Silv tink X 2 definitely

1 handler

1 divine favor, I'm liking EL

1 remote control

Those are some staples.

I'd also be running a Stone Colo with crushing blow. That will help stop a rush along with bolder throw.

Just some thoughts.

 

I like x2 collosus with crushing blow and 2 turrets with magic turret then 1 with frost and 1 fire turret to counter one with Nora. And I love WEG with council spells and Nora vitality.... you can hit 80+ hp crazy fast which makes a great target for tac manual.

 

Imo, you should got tanky more than zerkers. I would remove a groble dervish and throw in a stone colosuss...
Crushing blow and resilient is really that good.

 

Some sound advice there thanks guys

 

Is Silverclan Protector worth it at 102 nora with Barrage (3) and Protective?

 

I personaly find him very affective as a mid to late game draw pop a forge hammer on and drop the standard along with protective allows him to pump out some serious damadge

 

for 147 Nora (at that point) it damn well should.

 

true but its great stand alone to once you have all you meat out from summons etc
