40% of a Monk's Towers are Pointless in End Game


Recommended Posts

Noone uses the monk's Enrage or Healing Aura for end-game maps (with good sense). I propose a few simple fixes.

Healing Aura heals defenses too.
Is it gonna save a wall from dropping to a wave 28 Ogre pounding it with 40k hits? No. But with enough time, it could heal the wall after the ogre is gone... or repair Kobold/Spider damage. Can't reach those two walls with a buff beam for resists? Plop a Healing Aura in between those suckers... may not be as strong, but it has better range, and less DU. Get meh?

Enrage Aura should become Empower Aura.
Everything within the Aura is 3%-15% more potent (depending on upgrade+Monk Tower Attack stat). That goes for offensive towers, and players. Doesnt have all of the resistance, rate of fire, range, benefits of the EV buff beam.... but as an aura it covers more area, and costs a static 4 DU. I dont think the EV should be able to Monopolize both the Wall AND Buffing portions of the game.

Idk about you, but I use healing aura for two of the crystal bosses. It has its uses. However enrage aura does have very little use. The mobs affected don't quite do enough for any use other than using more du for kicks and giggles

Healing is fine, it is best used in Monster fests and Boss fights, it could maybe use a DU cost reduction as it only helps heroes survive.

Enrage could simply use a multiplier on the damage of enraged enemies so their attacks actually deal meaningful damage to each other.

So that is at best 20% pointless, realistically the apprentices towers and have a worse deal as you can easily argue the Magic Missile and Deadly Strike are pointless, the Magic barricade serves 1 purpose completely unrelated to its design and for the most part there are better alternatives to using Fireballs.

I use healing auras all the time on monster fest maps. But the enrage aura, yeah, it's pretty much useless. It's almost as bad as the ethereal spike trap.
