And others made it before you, but this one lists the path in the first post, so it's better.

Because no one requested yet. I said I would list which path I think is better as it went so people wouldn't have to dig through a thread. No one asked, yet. I just thought that people might care to know that there are duplicate threads, which is a waste of time. I did not know that others before me had tried, I just thought because we had already seen some paths, I would give it a shot.
See the very top of your first post.

Tried Hoot Loop upgrades but not sure about the names smilie Will verify later. Here are some thoughts

Top part (Hoot) paths: hypnotize (mass hypnotize?) or laser beam (dream beam?).
- Laser beam: it's like Double Trouble beam but longer range and single target only. Damage 27 per tick (4-5 ticks per second?). The issue is that if you hold the button to use the laser, the 2 extra bolts from soul gem upgrade will only spawn once (per button press).
- Mass hypnotize: increased range and area (not that much though ~20%?) and damage went up from 14 to 24 per tick (2 ticks per second?)

The intent is obvious: dream beam for single target and mass hypnotize for packs. Will test mass hypnotize more to decide which one I like better.

Bottom part (Loop) paths: charge teleport or escape artist
Only tried escape artist. First upgrade: press jump to go back to original teleport location. This has to be done before teleport is completed. It's kinda like controlled bomb attack I guess. Second upgrade: increase all teleport attacks. The main reason I pick this path since it does upgrade the soul gem upgrade attack from 34 to 42. Will try the charged teleport path to see if I like it better.

For the ones in USA: Could you please post the names of the upgrade paths for the guys I havent listed? It also would be very kind if you write down some upgrades. Pics help also.

Which path is better for countdown. I chose the rocket one as opposed to the mini bomb buddies path. Did I choose correctly?

If you've played as Bumble Blast, which path do you think is better?

I would suggest the Bee Keeper path. Just watch Wdrumz PvP match with Pop Thorn and you will see the slaughter fest he can be. On this path, he can shoot three bees at once, shoot more bees with increased damage and can shoot a queen bee that knocks enemies. Use that with his soul gem that attack nearby enemies and you got a master of disaster with a swarm to back him up.

I saw that video, although, he WASN'T shooting three bees at once. What exactly do you mean by "more" bees? Either way, he looks like a strong character.

Yeah after rewatching it, I think he got it wrong and meant the honey tree path so just disregard my other comment. I also meant that he just has stronger attacks and is able to shoot three at the same time. I don't own him, but I'm inferring what the upgrades are saying. I do see that the Honey Tree path is the best for him did ya see how he slaughtered Pop Thorn? I never imagined smilie being this strong.

You have to charge the button to shoot 3 bees at a time I believe.
