Advice?

When have you ever found the modifier Search to be a more practical/efficient choice than Damage/Attack Speed?

[DSJ and Co.]

Theres that very very rare occasion where you just need that little bit more range (mostly what comes to mind is 6.3 where you don't really need the damage most of the time)

i use it quite abit when testing a new tower on my custom maps, when i havn't researched the range on it to much.

I use the search modifier all the time, my second fav modifier after bounty:

* Use it to always target the last guy in a long line to make sure flame tower is always hitting the entire chain (depending on exact placement)
* Use it to make sure early poison tower is always hitting a new guy, or strongest guy
* Use it to make sure snipers switch to new target and aren't all trying to hit the same target
* Use it on multi tower to always target closest so half the spread isn't wasted

It's useful, play in slow motion for a little bit and watch how inefficient some of the towers are when they sight on a target and don't ever switch and it will become more clear.

Like Synthetic said, Search is very useful on custom maps where you can place towers in positions where you want them to target with a bit more precision. One flame turret, a long, circular path around it, and 8 modifers on it. 4 strength, 3 power, 1 search. Set the turret to random. Now everything is always burning. PERFECT.
