The Tower - 60M - New killbox !

Thanks guys. :)
 

Well, basically four reasons :
1) Parochial move : I'm French, DailyMotion is French. Help the local economy and all that stuff. ;)
2) Google already has a nearly monopoly on access to contents, no need to help them extend that monopoly to contents itself.
3) Google is under US law. Taking a stand against that DCMA nonsense.
4) "Wyatan" is not an available Google account name. (Although it might be mine since I remember creating a Google account a few years back to test one of their apps for my job. But if it's not mine, and the guy owing it used a dummy secondary mail, resetting the password may end up nuking a poor sod's GMail account, which I'm reluctant to do.)
 
Now, yup this has drawbacks :
- Smaller audience.
- Can't insert chapters in videos.
- And mainly that whole "Publishing in progress" BS which pisses me off and means I have to wait for hours, and even once days, before the video is actually available after being uploaded.
 

The stone staff is good for comboing, but my experience is that the vampire gloves are better (comes from the fact they have a small AoE, which is better than pierce when shooting sideways, and they attack faster). Also, the secondary means you can get self-sufficent for some time, while with the Stone Staff, if you're OOM with no potion available, you're in trouble. Last, Vampire Gloves scale : whatever the hitpoints of a monster, lock it for 30 seconds and it's dead. Works the same wave 1 or wave 200, while good luck killing anything with the Stone Staff in the later waves.
Now, where the Stone Staff is better, is when you get overrun indeed. And disposing of straggler heavies is a lot less time-consuming and boring. :)

But in this particular case (wave 45), I did with the bromage what I suggested in the video, ie make a stand at the first Void Wall : throwing every small mobs into the wall with the windbelt, and locking down the rest with the Vampire Gloves with the Spike Wall was on reset, and it worked like a charm. Completely wasted wave score-wise, but got through without losing a single rift point.
 
Now, when playing coop, you usually have both the Vampire Gauntlets and the Stone Staff, so it becomes a moot point. :)
 

As Juicebags said, the killbox cannot process heavy monsters (the spring trap don't have that unique upgrade). So you have two options : kill them before they get there, or let them through and kill them after. The first option is obviously far better, and that's what raising the traps half a tile achieves : they only target big mobs. That's why we call that a "filter". :)
 

The grinder is indeed really what's making it fall into place (and unfortunately makes it hardly transferable). I had nice attempts without it, but nothing that could beat the "standard" killbox.
Out of the usual weapons, the crossbow is by far the worst at applying its own combo point, which makes it for me, like the Jar of Ghosts, a fallback option only, when there's no other working choice.
 

I didn't. :)

As I say in the video, the weak spot is the web spinner : I'd say that on average less than half the mobs that get processed by the killbox are webbed. The Bromage killbox replaces the acid sprayers with web spinners so doesn't suffer from the same issue. And Tar means less windbelt pushes required, so less damage, and better combos in the early waves. It also means I can try the windbelt grab trick once per push, as opposed to a coupla times per wave.

So basically trading away one combo point for all-round consistency.

Now, had I reached the same wave with the sorc, I believe the score would have been in the 70M range instead. By that's still only about a 10% difference, when usually sorc scores utterly crush bromage scores.
