You know I'm down, but I need to settle on who I am going to bring so I can shift around a couple pieces of gear/maybe blessings. Do you have any sense of the sort of melee/ranged ratio you want to try?

I think my favourite change in this patch might actually be that enemies can now be damaged as soon as their spawn animation begins. :swoon:

This also makes fighting Hydra spawns in MM or Fjords of Norway hilarious because it just ends up raining men.

2 melee/ 8 ranged or 4/6. 4/6 is ideal. I would suggest anybody who is serious on these raids needs a ranged raid ready and a melee red ready.

I'll do Waifu/Wolferine for melee, Strange/Surfer for ranged. I have to put more into Strange but I know I got Wolferine and Surfer ready.

This also makes the occasional Sentinel mass-spawning in Midtown amazing because it just showers the street in purple body parts for a few minutes like you're living out Jessica Jones's favorite revenge fantasy.

PATCH OVERVIEW
Today's patch is an "emergency" patch in order to address our client crash issue in addition to other issues discovered once the patch went live.

CHANGES
Fixed the crash issue.

Psylocke will no longer be targeted by enemies after being stealthed by Psionic Projection.

Psylocke will no longer deal two packets of damage with each hit via the Deadly Assassin toggle.

Psylocke token is now back on the Eternity Splinter Vendor

Psylocke's Shadow Dash internal cooldown reduced to a quarter of a second (down from half a second) to controls feel crisper.

Ghost Rider's Ultimate, Hell on Wheels, will now correctly apply stacks of Hellfire to enemies

Cooldown on Worldstone Cache reduced to .5 seconds.

Odin’s Bounty Boost and Eternity Splinter Boost potions fixed to now work correctly (we’ll work with CS on Monday to pull data from people who used these during the period of time they didn’t work, no need to do anything)

Cyclops Strike Team - Angel power damage fixed to represent 4 hits.

Day 99 item will now roll at high level (Item Grade 63).

Nova will no longer roll Physical damage on some of his items.

Nova's Nova Shield now resets to full when Nova enters a new region.

Doop Overlord's health has been increased. It was previously much lower than his Generals!

A question for our resident waifu obsession master: How do you keep Projections up? I expected to be able to hammer on the button and you kinda just... can't. Do you use Shadow Dash to generate them? Seems like the way to go once the cooldown gets buffed.

Psylocke seems okay, but it's a pretty complicated series of buttons to have to go through on each enemy. I'm sure she does good damage, I just can't seem to get the hang of the skill order.

edit: also her constantly changing accent is distracting.

Same, and holy poo poo because Assassinate is absolutely ridiculous. There is this perception that Moon Knight does absurd damage but she can use Assassinate ten times for every Gruesome Frenzy :stare:

You just take the Kingpin's passive and max it? Then do whatever else you want. I'd take Doop and max that as well.

I hope they also fixed that her toggle was giving the physical dmg bonus while turned on rather than off, so it will actually be a massive buff.

Doop and Kingpin passives, Breviks if you want but it's a timed buff. Then cosmic gear with credit find on it. Kingpin medallion, vice runeword, wealth enchants. Probably something else I'm forgetting.

Also if I'm taking damage, I Shadow Dash out of danger, which procs my 1200 DR from Midtown Signet, then Assassinate back in. It might a DPS loss to do that as a matter of course but when I need to bail it's an excellent combo

Yes it is. I create Projections by Shadow Dashing into battle as well and usually always have 3 up by the time I get to the boss. Assassinate twice, pop a Projection up every time the cooldown ends (it's internal) and bring the pain. Still a beast on TC, so I'm guessing this damage is here to stay. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I've been using a basically all mental skull-flinging build. Pretty much just an end-game build but probably would be decent for leveling with just enough aoe.

Max:
Infernal Skull
Burn The Treads
Infernal Contract
Spirit of Vengeance
Inferno
Hell From Above (not liking it, swapping to Protect the Innocent for red raids)
Chains Ablaze
Penance Stare

One Point:
Chain Snare
Protect the Innocent
Damnation
Ride

Took it into a green raid and it was the most fun I've ever had raiding. Survivability was excellent, damage was top notch, and spirit was infinite. Toss Chain Snare to get the spirit from Chains Ablaze and never run out. Also lets you use hybrid items like Power Cosmic and the Power Doop runeword. Otherwise stack all mental damage gear and omegas. Use a Soulsword or Darkhold in your slot 1 and GR's uniques in the rest. Keep your DoTs up (I like to max charge BtT but it's not really necessary), spam skulls between, and hit that HOLY MOTHER OF GOD IT'S SO GOOD Penance Stare as soon as its cooldown is up. I'm not quite sure yet if I'm keeping up max stacks of hellfire or not. Someone remind me to check that somehow. Maybe I'll start always using HFA each time its cd is up.

EDIT: And, duh, pop infernal contract whenever you feel safe (it's almost always safe, especially right before P-P-P-PENANCE STARE).

I wish projection had a 2s cooldown on the active use ability to make it a tiny bit easier to manage. I'll probably make a thread about it because it seems like a pretty viable change.

Yes, but I don't think it procs until it hits so it won't buff itself. I might be wrong on that. I would love to be wrong on that.

Pretty sure it procs immediately on use, before you hit. Not that it matters because the duration of the buff is longer than Assassinate's cooldown.
