Petrify

Hey there!

It seems a lot of people are using walls to trigger petrify with another tower performing poison.  I am at work and can't try this at the moment; curious though to folks experiences with FA running poison and wall running earth (torpedo) shard.  Thoughts?  The good, the bad, the ugly?

Thanks!

Poison is elemental so FA can't have it. I use poison proton and shattering torpedo on reflect beam

Thank you, Little!  I'll give that a try. :-)

EV's WM is king IMO as it is the only wide spread AOE def that is nonelemental. Put poison on one, then stagger a second one with a separate earth build after it, and that gives you a 10 enemy petrify bubble.

There are many ways to do this though, like PDT or ES.

30 du for proton > 120 du for 2 WMRs...

Yeah, but I'll take that cost for the added range. Usually i need 2 PBs to really cover an entrance for CC, and even then WM is way better at range. I guess it depends on whether or not DU or range is of more concern to that layout. 

Also, your math is not complete as one PB is not enough to combo. You still need to add the DU of the second def. that triggers it.

Keep in mind too that for PB to work on more than one enemy at a time, that you cannot build additional nodes. You have to make separate and unconnected PBs if you want to petrify or poison more than 1 enemy at a time, which drives cost way up.  1 enemy for 30 DU, or 10 for 60...

I use poison Wm and Reflect beam with torpedo and add from there as needed. Many many many options to choose from.

Git gud. Just kidding, protons are quirky you can build like this and it works perfectly (particular layout courtesy of Dewkin, my original was two adjacent T shapes):

Thank you for the feedback folks!  I'll try all of these ideas and see which one meets my play style.

Appreciate your time.
