Marks & Orbs

[Fenix_Hero]

I'm curious to how Marks & Orbs could be better than using a Medallion on DPS towers. Obviously Totems are good for the barricades but I just can't see the point in using anything other then medallions for the damage stuff.

on stuff Like PDTS my bro uses a mark and same on geysers with speed and health assecondary stats

Totems and the Vampiric Shard work nice together. For other defences you might just want them to attack faster for the effect like geysers, sanking sands, ect.

This. I used a totem for my dps towers in c5 for awhile because decent medallions refuse to drop. Still use it in one of them. It's not optimal, but it's better than a c4 medallion.

Snaking sands = C5 Orb, it goes off every 1 second, almost endless stun if I have 2 of them and the mobs arent tenacious.

Frostbite tower with totem, it has about 1 million HP fully upgraded, it never dies, even if they somehow target it.

I would assume orbs on things that dont deal that much dmg is alright, like the geyser trap or snaking sands.

and the mark is good on things with low base damage like the flamethrower or PDT (Atleast it used to be)

Very few defenses have way better critical scaling than raw damage scaling. For instance on snaking sands if you want it to deal damage, you'd rather use a mark than a medalion.

Orbs are useful for thing you DON'T use for damage. For instance, snaking sands again if you use it for the stun, oil geyser, frostbite tower and so on. I also had some fun with it on canonball towers with the two stun shards.

So basically, marks can be used for DPS stuff is the defense is a critical one and orbs… well, forget it for the damage.
