But it's fun nonetheless. Sell the medallions, they are easy to farm for since they're 100% drops from bosses (in terminals). I'd suggest you find which character you like best and get the to 60, don't stress, just enjoy the ride. Don't worry about legendaries, they are a big power spike when you are trying to fully kit out your character but they also cost 300 odins which is quite a few LQ. While you can more or less freely unbind and trade them to another of your character (and even break them back down into Odincoins) they lose all XP progress in the process, which is why dedicating them to one character you like and want to keep playing or prestige is the best idea. Oh and on the note of Spider-man; here's the build I'm using: http://www.marvelbase.com/builds/generator/spider-man#vv2v222Kvy2KvCv2vvKv/0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 Keep in mind that he is a bit of a spirit hog and doesn't really get rolling until you can equip a PSS on him. If you prefer to use Web Wrecking Ball, take the points from Leaping Assault and put them there instead, Leaping is better for leveling though, since it unlocks sooner and triggers Constrictive Webbing and Spider to the Fly. Keep Web Spray on the floor to debuff your enemies Use Amazing Smash for gathering up dudes in one place and dealing some good burst Leap is your go-to AOE damage together with the DOT from Constrictive Webbing Spidey Pummel is your filler and Amazing Uppercut is your single target/small group spirit spender. Use Webswing Attack to break CC, Web Shield to get a little beefier for a while and/or regenerate HP. Always zip and jump around because you're Spider-man and being on the move prevents a lot of damage, also Agile Attack gives you a attack & movespeed buff.

To further expound and expand, spending on Odin mark items in general (legendary items and blessings) is not something you need to do to complete any of the content in the game, their main purpose is to push your character further into "owns bones" territory. When you are trying to shave a few seconds off of your boss kill times, you might want to consider spending, but not really before that.

But it's fun nonetheless. Also as far as levelling characters vs legendaries goes, legendary quests are basically the best way to level, so "do I level or do I work towards legendaries" is a really happy false choice to make. Also note that you get synergy bonuses to +XP% for every L30/50/60 you have, which the game does not articulate particularly well, so if you stick with someone to the end it'll make it faster for everybody else.

Also here's my MK post from awhile ago: Moon Knight EDIT: Recent changes did little to the actual build, but now MK does a ton more damage. {tldr edition: Max Gruesome Frenzy, Cestus Gauntlet Punch, Truncheon Ricochet, Fist of Khonshu, Carbonadium Armor, Explosive Crescent Dart. 1 in Statue of Khonshu, Multiple Personalities, Moon Staff, Avatar of Vengeance, Khonshu Unbound, dump rest in Tripwire Bolas. Here's what I'm running (no points in Multiple since I have the unique that grants it) http://marvelbase.com/builds/generator/moon-knight#vv222vK2Kv2MAM2KvvKv/0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 Artifacts are Idol of Khonshu + whatever 3 phys/general damage things you want. His uniques are fine, legendary is Gungir, runeword is Viking Gladiator. Insig is O'Grady. Relic is Lemuria. Costume is crit dmg rating with either black smoke for his base or Flames on secret avengers} Moon Knight is an extremely durable melee/ranged hybrid hero, with built-in mechanics that allow him to not only excel but get stronger at lower health levels. Moon Knight also has the ability to put out extremely high single-target damage. His kit isn't quite as effective at AoE, with his big AoE abilities being largely inefficient, small area, and/or unreliable but he's not entirely without tools. This build will focus mainly on his melee abilities (which is where most of his high damage potential comes from), with a couple ranged abilities sprinkled in to give some AoE ability for clearing trash and to add some utility. Skillz Max skills: Cestus Gauntlet Punch-single target melee spirit spender, hits super-hard Truncheon Ricochet-ranged attack that bounces, also adds significant DR to your next melee attack. This will clear most trash throughout the game, and only falls off as an AoE ability in Cosmics/later Xdef levels. Fist of Khonshu-amazing passive; crit/brutal chance, DR against dudes attacking you, and a chance to proc a cower when you hit a brutal (note-you should be hitting brutal strikes a lot) Carbonadium Armor-Another amazing passive, this one for defense. Has similar reduced damage at lower health levels thing as GR/Punisher, with the addition of a block chance that reduces damage. Gruesome Frenzy-signature power. lots of little hits which, if they all connect will then deal a much stronger finishing blow that also has the execute ability found on other attacks (bonus damage based on target's missing HP). This is what you can see brutal for 1mil+. You can then pick 1 of the following: Explosive Crescent Dart Tripwire Bolas I prefer Explosive. It hits it's main target for moderate damage, while exploding in an area for lesser damage. It also applies vulnerability. Tripwire Bolas is a small AoE snare/DoT effect which is also valuable due to constantly triggering Khonshu procs (Truncheon can also do the same if there's multiple enemies to bounce to, but it's nice to have the constant). Another consideration is the fact that Dart can function as a spirit dump at range when you need to heal/there's 20 different overlapping AoE damage fields at the base of whatever boss you're fighting; Bolas however will allow you to put up more passive damage as you can lead with it and have it tick for 4 seconds while punching some chump in the face. edit-after more testing, I think Bolas is an equal choice and it's pretty much entirely preference. Bolas is better for single target damage, Explosive is better for masses. One point skills: Statue of Khonshu-Drops a big statue that gives bonus damage as well as health and spirit on hit in an AoE. Doesn't scale well, and has a longish CD while also being able to be killed by enemies so 1 is all it needs. Multiple Personalities-Gives a revive (buggy as all the others), +credits on drop, and 10% SiF. scales bad, but a great value point. (note-if you use his slot 3 unique, you won't need this point) Khonshu Unbound-CC break. Also has some minor +light radius or something, idk. Use it for the CC break. gift of choice (ideally Tools of Vengeance while leveling, Avatar of Vengeance late)-"Gift" is the category for these two powers, and they're mutually exclusive. They both have the same passive bonus of bonus DR when low on spirit, and bonus CR/CDR at low health. Tools drops you to 0 spirit but gives 8 seconds of free powers. Avatar drops you to 1 health, but makes you unable to die(?-I've not tested this on rhino/jugg charges) for 8 seconds, after which it heals you for .3% of the damage you dealt during the period. I've noticed some...odd behavior from this power though. Tools is better early because you likely won't have the damage output to make the life restore useful. The passive effect doesn't scale all that well, so 1 point base is good. Gear should give you some extra anyways. Moon Staff-The other melee basic, this restores spirit on hit. 1 point for the times you're empty in spirit to keep some damage up while waiting to get enough to use a real attack. Whichever of these you didn't max: Explosive Crescent Dart Tripwire Bolas Extra points should also be dumped here. MK has two melee AoE abilities, but I find both to be lackluster. Nunchuku has a tiny AoE which lets you run around while channeling it, whereas Staff Spin has a larger-but-still-not-that-good AoE but locks you in place while using it. If you're dead set on some AoE ability that's not Ricochet and Dart, you could drop Gruesome to 1 point (but I seriously don't recommend it). Gear I won't go too in-depth here, but his powers are entirely physical, with the vast majority also being fighting and your main damage abilities being melee as well. Artifacts-Given the above, the usual suspects (ACCoC, AMA, AKung-Fu, HoD, GoK) all are good. Of special note is the Idol of Khonshu which I believe is near mandatory if you're running melee. Since Truncheon has a similar effect that you'll want to be using regardless, getting the bonus damage from Idol should be almost constant making it extremely attractive. Runeword/Uru-His slot 5 is a damage item, so I'd recommend using the +800 def Uru. If you want damage go for physical so you'll get a boost on your truncheon and ranged attack of choice. For runeword you have a lot of choices: Lunar Eclipse (more defense and some spirit maintenance) and Bonebreaker (damage) are more budget-conscious choices. Viking Gladiator or Bowazon if you're feeling extravagant. Uniques & gear slots: MK has solid uniques. His slot 1&3 are especially good. His chestpiece is also great because it allows you max out Carbonadium fairly easy. His boots are meh, and his slot 5 is more focused on ranged builds but is decent unless you find some amazing cosmic. I believe Foostigons would be his ideal boot slot. Enchants should be Stone (+phys) on slot 1&5, and Cattle (+health) on 2-4. Legendary-Gungir most likely, depending on your other gear choices a case could be made for Excalibur. Costume affixes & core-Affixes should be health if you want more defense, crit damage if you want offense. For core, I favor +fighting (6->7 is huge) and 25% health/spirit on medkit. If you want more defense, the +fighting could be health, or even invuln on medkit (although I personally don't like the double-medkit cores). I don't think he particularly needs LL but it's definitely welcome as he naturally does a fair job mitigating damage so staying topped up is a good idea. Medallion-Magneto helps a lot for keeping spirit costs down to support a heavy non-basic approach (you can easily hit -30% costs with that and his slot 3 unique). Hydra is also good in general, or Tombstone if you could find a lvl 60. Insignia-O'Grady. DumDum is also nice if you can get a decent one. Stats are same as for everyone-health if you want more defense, otherwise try to get DR/CDR/CR in roughly that order. Special low-health note: Due to his mechanics, he can also take advantage of low-health triggers (Extremis Serum, Last Chance boots, etc). He does gain some natural advantage from those due to his passive portion of gift. However, he can't make use of the Penance insig so that should be considered. alansmithee fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Apr 29, 2014 |

That means if you use Gs to buy a hero it lets you get a second one too? Nice. Once I have a huge stack of boons tonight, can I freely swap between heroes and keep all the boons or will it mess them up and/or only apply to the hero I'm on when I get said boons?

I got my boons on Gambit and have been using them into Jean Grey, so I don't think swapping is a problem at this point. That said, I never managed to get the broken mega-boosted numbers, just the duration extensions.

Suprfli6 posted:That means if you use Gs to buy a hero it lets you get a second one too? Nice. I think the way they do it is if you spend g's to buy a hero, you get a random box as well, so it could be a duplicate. As far as boons are concerned, be prepared to stay on a specific hero and wait for someone to character swap and let us know. The stacks are a bug so who knows if they still act the way they did before or if its even possible to get stacks still.

Phyresis posted:This is the basic Strange build unless you're doing that astral projection gimmick, and I am not impressed at all after spending quite some time with him on TC. It's a lot of work just so you can reset Vapors of Valtorr - not worth it imo. The cast animation on Flames of the Faltine is horrible and the damage on it is mediocre yet it has a pretty small aoe and a cooldown? His most impressive dps ability isn't even an Incantation, it's his Signature. I get what they were trying to do with him and I think he is very fixable but he's just kind of a mess right now and a lot of micro for very little gain. I pretty much only play decent aoe nuke heroes, I really like Dr. Strange as a character, and I really like his spells' graphical effects but I don't think I'm going to pick him up in this state, even for Splinters. He feels a little half-baked, he definitely could have used another week of testing. Like they could have compressed some of these powers and put them on short cooldowns instead of having so drat many all essentially dedicated to the incantation gimmick. But they came up with all these rad spell effects and wanted to USE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. He's not bad by any means, but as you said "a lot of micro for very little gain" really sums him up, especially compared to a lot of other heroes. But he sure is pretty in action. I'm still waffling on whether to pick him up or not, I have the splinters. I may grab him just for something different to play with. I'm thinking of messing around with a Astral Projection summoning gimmick build first on test to see if there's anything there.

Boons give a buff to you and everyone around you. A boon party is where a large amount of people, mostly people without the ability to cast a boon themselves, can gather and benefit from the boons.

As I promised before, I had found a nice bug for Dr. Strange and now I will share it for you goons to abuse properly (note: it still works on TC so I'm assuming it works on Live as well) The Astral Legion skill, which you use while Astral Projection is on to create more images, adds its bonus damage infinitely. Just like the old Hulk EQ leap bug. You simply turn on Astral Legion, cast Astral Projection so you get 4 more images, then turn of Astral Legion to desummon and finally repeat ad infinitum. After a little bit you get something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FANYCi0TWAc

Zoobtro posted:Sorry if I missed it but can anyone explain boons and boon parties please? As part of an event, players were given(and could purchase) consumable items that granted an hour's worth of 25% XP, special item, and rarity boost. The items give the boost to anyone in your proximity in game. We decided we should do mass gatherings to maximize their effectiveness. They were intended to increase in duration upon multiple uses. They were bugged(possibly due to the stress we placed on the servers with as many people gathered that we had, maybe due to poor programming) and the amount would stack rather than the duration, or both would increase. It was a glorious unintended mess with some people running around with 800% increased XP/SIF/RIF or higher. Now, they seem to be only increasing in duration(I dont think anyone is still running around with huge 800%+ boosts), but many of us have over a week's worth of in game time with the 25% amount. In celebration of Dr. Strange's release, we are gathering to do it one more time.
