Stick to auras tbh. Elec and str drain are good but ensnare aura is just insane and makes any other tower/aura massively more powerful.

Sweet that's what I've been doing so far, should I level all the aura abilities equally? Or like aura size more than the others? Etc.
Yeah the ultimate combo in this game atm is Ensnare Aura/Electric Aura/Fireball Tower. Fireball will kill the lightning immune. Poison immune will ignore the ensnare aura and get slaughtered by both. Elec aura will kill everything indiscriminately.
Assuming you upgrade your ranged damage on your weapon you can still do a pretty good amount of damage, more so with hero boost up.
Go easy on the Aura Lifespan. They upped the life span enough that its more of a security thing to have it now than a necessity. Damage and Radius will be your most important ones. Rate is important for elec auras damage but it should do enough damage without a massive investment, enough for early levels.

Evil/French you guys done assault insane yet? if so what weapon did you use? wolfstein fully upgraded? i am not sure wether to use that or the gun you get on insane from warping core.(crystal tracker)
Keep getting just past 2nd crystal and seems i need a bit more dps i think mainly ranged.(my wolfstein is only 778 damage though)

I think evil's your man for that. I suck at assault 
I've only done it once since they changed the Bowling Balls and lowered Piercing Shots damage, though I haven't tried all that much and I could probably get back into the swing of it. It was so 'easy' when you could do 20k+ with a piercing shot since you could drop pretty much every tower in 2 shots.
I did it with my Bone Bow then later with a Blasticus I got from doing it (though its low clip size started to annoy me so I've given it my trap huntress and gone back to the bone bow). The first 2 crystals are fairly trivial once you get the method right. Its the 3rd crystal that really sucks. The bowling ball can be a serious problem, the 2 Fireballs behind it can screw you over too, the respawns up front mean you have to take your time, the elec auras aren't too bad if you don't get stuck in the ensnare aura.
You need high speed to do it really or you can't clear the ensnares in 1 jump. VW has the dps but the first blockade could really mess things up if even 1 enemy is lightning immune and the jump over the gap to the 1st crystal would be a little suicidal if the orc you land on is lightning immune. Rest of the level it wouldn't matter so much, but unless you have a really good VW the lower PS damage might screw you over.

So ive been using a disk launcher for a while now and upgraded it a fair bit, i recently picked up a godly undertaker and im unsure which one to use. Should i stick with the disk launcher or go for the godly undertaker and upgrade that now.

Go for the bone bow. That disc launcher is atrocious.

Huntress is absolutely the worst class I've decided
Worst in what way? They're very fun to play in DPS mode, though I guess that there's an argument for saying that they're annoying.

From my experiences. I disagree.
She's the best by far.
Definitely this. That Disc Launcher must've had truly horrible starting damage.
I really wanna find another disc launcher but finding a decent un-named weapon is next to impossible at high level. Would be a nice change to my Bone Bow (unless I could find a better one of those too).
I'm looking forward to the Barbarian
I've been making videos for this game recently, check them out if you get some spare time: http://www.youtube.com/user/Ghoulic123?feature=mhee Also as I'm mostly making these videos and waiting for new content, I'm free to boost some people if you want Just add me (Afrandor) on steam and I can help you with most challenges or some levelling up~

I wouldn't bother with either to be honest. It's not worth putting mana into a weapon with less then 25 upgrades. Do the Halloween challenge on Hard a couple of times, you should find a relatively decent weapon from it (or I could give you one of my spare Blasticus' but I'm not sure I have any good ones left).
It's incredibly easy to do, you just need one thing: A >950 projectile speed Grenade Launcher, you get a decent one from Raining Goblins on hard so my advise would be to keep doing that and grab one with 22+ upgrades and a decent base damage. Once you get that, you can clear the first and 2nd crystal easily and then stand on the edge of the 2nd crystal's platform and destroy the 3rd from there without having to continue through the rest of the course.
Ideally you have a 2nd huntress with you with a real weapon to help you clear the first 2 crystals quickly (while also giving you 2 rolls on the dropped weapon). We can clear insane in ~2mins with this strat

Lol, they nerfed the VW even further. The 1 I had in storage went from 67 base damage to 44, seems they've lowered final damage by about 40%
And its still more powerful than anything else
That's pretty annoying though. I can see why they didn't put it in the "upcoming" patch notes as there would've been (however wrongly) an outcry.
Oh well. I guess I'll join you in the never-ending quest for a decent disc launcher...
With sone help from uv my monk has a shiny dual light saber weapon, shame is not a large skin but beggars can't be choosers, still looks great.
With my godly weapon it's level 60 and classed worse than the aggressor which is level 34, what makes them so good? Do they upgrade with higher stats or something?

Randoms on the internet are boring. I have 600k and nothing to spend it on!
