Just curious, can anyone justify the Mystic's obelisk being 100 DU?

[MicroBug]

I've been playing Mystic for a while and the obelisk seems to be a huge waste of 100 Du. Just watching it, i dont see it do much at all except very occasionally zapping some enemy, or giving me a shielding bubble i dont care about. Seems like it should be like 30 DU if you ask me, and that's just because it has some HP. Overall it seems absurd to use this tower over almost anything else.
Also there's no way you're gonna be able to be a max souls that often when you have to spam the crap out of your abilities now to survive Chaos, so this feature might as well not even exist.

A lot of the high DU costs, and especially the DU cost increases that came with the Trials update, make no sense. Trendy really needs to take a second look at these things. No way is an Earthshatter worth 80 DU either, nor is the new gimped-range Volcano worth 100.

With severly low DU limits on maps and many lanes to cover, the only things we'll be using are low-cost.

The game is no longer a tower based game atm. Its a hero based game with some some walls to help

That is not true. Towers are quite useful and not just the blockades/walls.

The Obelisks begins to shine as soon as you hit 100 appeasement everything that comes to close get to will get flamed and that damage is huge. The smite/zap is indeed a bit slow but has no range limit and the same high damage value.
The only problem is that you need the 100 appeasement, which can take a while and you need to play a mystic. I still think that the 100 DU are justified for the Obelisk.

100 for a Volcano ... well that is a thing to discuss.

atm for me my obelisk has been soloing lanes by it self and i use it as a mobile player

if a lane starts to get a big wave i just run over drop it on the side of the lane *not behind walls mobs ignore it* and it solos it. bosses die in a drop of a hat with it its prob the strongest tower atm mines hitting for 250k *not critting* every .7 seconds

now needing 100 appeasement. there is a shard in C1 that gives you 40% more appeasement. atm its gliched and gives a flat 40 appeasement making keeping it maxed a breeze

also my mystic is pure hero dmg and crit with two items wih hero hp i only use my #2 spell and i dont even use that in c3 only c4+

Worth it? In my optinion Obelisk is one of the most powerful and versatile towers currently in the game.

800k hp with 250k dps melts everything. You get a hero shield, damage buff on your heroes and a tower with really good dps that can be relocated on a whim.

I usually use it to support lanes that get assaulted heavily and simply drop it near bosses to kill them really fast. its one of the best things currently against Rollers. (With that buggy strange attack from Abyss Lord that seems to do a trillion dps)

So yes, Obelisk is def worth the 100 du.

At the moment, all I use is 100 du towers. Plop some trees, 1 Cloud in every lane and the Obelisk and mystic as hero out to support lanes that get assaulted heavily. Works like a charm so far up til Chaos 3. I dont really want to go to 4 since I really want that range shard and some others, that I simply do not get.

Cool, had no idea it was so useful. Thanks for the responses!

Can you justify half of the nerfs they made? The game is not really that fun anymore.

Buggy strange attack? What, do you mean Abyss stones? Because yeah, those'll delete lanes for like 10 seconds at a time if you drop 2-4 of them, but they're not too effective against rollers.

What's this attack look like?
