jubelio posted:Dr. Strange Build 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.

Toshimo posted:Make no mistake, I like Punisher and I'd like to play him every day, but they effectively took the 6th most effective Hero (out of 28? at the time) and gutted his 2 strongest abilities with nothing to compensate. There was no chance he'd stay in the top half. He's not Thor or Thing, but I find I make better use of my time farming with a fun A-list Hero and hoping to pass an O'Grady/HoD/GotK back to Punisher in 6 months when he finally gets reviewed. I really miss Frank the Tank. I found a very well rolled Eidolon Warwear for him back when it wasn't raining uniques and he was unkillable except to extreme spike damage / one-shot abilities. He was my favorite hero. RIP. e: I take back what I said about Dr. Strange, he's actually pretty fun in X-Defense once you figure out the lazy/faceroll build.

Everything that adds % damage functions exactly the same whether or not it says "base" damage in the description. It's the same poo poo as synergies where it's just converted to DR. This is less "broken" than Taskmaster's melee basic. All of the damage boosts on attributes are just straight static DR conversions yet again and they are still not very impressive. Not enough to warrant giving up better costume core mods for most heroes, such as 25% health/spirit on medkit or invuln on medkit. e: Defense on core seems to be just waaaay inferior to straight +health, which I've seen approach 2000.

2 seconds of invulnerability is basically like your hero gained a new power. I find that to be much more useful than a minor damage (miniscule, even) increase.

Jedit posted:^^^ 600 DR on Crystal plus a free One-Off every 20 seconds would absolutely destroy Gungnir where IM is concerned. No, it's like not even close for me. I have a 50% crit rate with Gungnir so the CDR is better than 600 DR and 200k damage every 20s is not much when pulse bolt is critting for 60k half of the time. Odinrage is pretty significant as well.

It's not a 12% DR increase. Percentage damage has a DR equivalence. For example, every Blessing of Odin is equivalent to 210 DR vs. Bosses only. Blessing of Loki is terrible for damage: 3% unaware damage means 126 DR per blessing, which is one of the worst. I really dislike Fandral - Critical Rating is easy to get and subject to diminishing returns. Chances are high that you have a better source for critical rating than your blessings. I just can't see using anything but Hela for pure damage. Many characters can use the various utility from other blessings, of course.

Damage values are up across the board save a few exceptions. Certain heroes like Spider-man got massive damage boosts because almost all of his skills were tagged Fighting, plus the baseline buffs and stat buffs. The skills that were reduced in damage either obviously needed to be nerfed or were long cooldown sigs that had their damage offloaded to other skills. The nerfed skills include Ball Lightning, Freezing Tempest, Lightning Column, X-Slash, and Phoenix Inferno. The long cd sigs include One-Off, Aerial Assault. This is not a comprehensive list, I do not have most characters at level 60. Cable's damage is up across the board. Loki's damage is up across the board. Cyclops' damage is up across the board. Scarlet Witch's damage is up across the board and bewildering hex still works fine as of the time of this posting. Iron Man got buffed. Yeah.

We the disappointed IMs want changes 1.Bring back our TO-O to its current level on live 2.Nerf of TTL option(eidolon,ll cores,25/25cores) is push us to reduce our dmg when everyone else get buffs 3.M'Kraan- lets be honest its always been IM legendary,we know it must became useful for other but till then buff it to 100% spirit to crit 4.Unique for slot 2 which provide dmg and def option to compensate TTL nerf from 2.^

Invisible Woman can easily get 100% invisibility uptime, I just tested it. It's pretty op so we made a post about it but I can't see how they can fix this without resorting to extremely harsh/drastic measures.

Deadpool is pretty solid. For some reason he gets an extraordinary amount of poo poo from goons who don't play him. Guess they feel that they have to chime in on poo poo that they have no idea about. I'm just about done levelling melee Taskmaster and Deadpool just seems more useful overall, but Taskmaster is more fun to play. I just don't feel quite as effective and he certainly doesn't have Li'l Deadpool. Deadpool is much, much squishier than Taskmaster but he has taunting dolls to make up for it.

I agree, Black Widow is one of the best melee heroes in the game right now. Ranged Taskmaster feels a lot better than melee while levelling in the higher levels, btw. I'd be surprised if Deadpool's ranged tree doesn't get massively buffed for his review. His biggest flaw is that he is so boring at the moment.

cl_gibcount 9999 posted:Axe gives you more damage than Gungnir if you have a decent crit rate already. Excalibur is less damage than both choices but it offers some survivability, though of course you won't get any of that damage on any ranged attacks you use. I don't get how this is true when the CDR on Gungnir gets better as your crit rate goes up, and also the fact that CDR adds directly to BDR. How can Excalibur be that far behind when it has 200 more DR and 100 more CR? I can't see how the BR and BDR make up for the difference, nor the proc. What am I missing here?

Yeah I like how the character with a huge aoe bubble that grants 50% damage reduction to allies inside with no cooldown has "zero defensive abilities." Chaos Warp is literally the best defensive power in the game. She used to be broken tier and now she's just great instead of totally op and still probably going to be a top pick for raids (depending on how the encounters are set up.)

Iron Man is one of the best heroes in the game because he does very consistent, very high aoe dps with a unique mechanic that prevents him from running out of spirit, ever. He has no build diversity whatsoever (except for gimmick punch spec) and his playstyle is extremely boring. I have been mashing S (micro-missiles) , D (shield explosion) , left click (pulse bolt) , and right click (jericho) for months now. He also has very little utility, weak defenses, and no group buffs whatsoever. The only character that can possibly match Tony in overall capability at the moment is Dr. Strange, mostly because he doesn't have the same weaknesses.

alansmithee posted:I heartily disagree about SW. She can't frontload damage on bosses making her bad at running terminals unless you're doing full clears, and then she's only ok. The reduction on Chaos Warp is a joke because of the slow windup and the fact you're stuck there for everything to pound on. The best defense in cosmics is still to not get hit. Compared to Strange for instance, she's significantly worse in every way. I will admit that my threshhold for doing well in cosmics could be higher though and I rarely run Xdef so I underrate performance there. You seem to value solo cosmic terminal clearing capability very, very highly whereas you completely discount group content. Does anyone even give a poo poo about running cosmic terminals alone other than when they are boosted for an event? They are adding raids soon, the ability to run cosmics well or poorly doesn't even factor into my assessment of heroes.

That's funny because that's exactly how I feel about cosmic terminals, they aren't worth the trouble or time by a mile. They used to be when cosmic rings were as common as slots 1-5 when they first implemented them.Toshimo posted:So, yeah, terminal running speed is an important thing if you want to polish off your heroes to "raid-ready standards" for your personal definition of that. The gently caress does it matter how geared out your shitbird melee dork is if he is useless in raids? The heroes that are going to be good in raids are going to be good regardless of whether or not they have BIS gear so I'm failing to see your point and how it applies to Scarlet Witch in particular. She is either going to be good at raid encounters or she isn't, her cosmic clearing ability has nothing to do with it. Having GOK and MFH is not going to make or break her.

jubelio posted:So you're argument is "being able to run cosmics doesnt matter cause I dont run cosmics and your reason for running cosmics is dumb, furthermore having best in slot gear is dumb" That's not what I said at all. I am well aware of the satisfaction of gearing out a fresh 60, that's all I've been doing in this game (on Iron Man) for almost half a year now. This whole discussion started because two posters had very different definitions of "best hero in the game" based on the type of content that they prefer/prioritize. The point I was trying to make before I got distracted by random Toshimo words is that people should clarify why they feel a particular hero is strong or weak at the things that they like to do in Marvel Heroes. (At least if they are trying to express an opinion that's not just random stream-of-consciousness blorted onto a keyboard.) Not that this is a salvagable thread in the first place, mind you.

HUMAN FISH posted:Ranged/area build is kinda weak and boring - ping with a psi power for the DR boost, drop dot, implode and spam Psycho Blast. Throw some butterflies around and repeat. Does less damage than Mrs. Invisible with similar gear, while simultaneously being even squishier (like 9k hp, 7.5k defense). Yes, the base damage values on those ranged abilities are atrocious. Even if they do a damage pass, I agree that it's a very boring playstyle due to the design of the skills. It's like a bad Emma. HUMAN FISH posted:Tried a full mental melee build (with Psionic Assault and Vortex) too, which seemed powerful but has about a 0,07% chance of working against a moving, attacking enemy. The DPS was kind of low on this build compared to good single-target damage heroes but a large part of that might be due to the difficulty of hitting things, as you say. HUMAN FISH posted:Physical melee seems great. Stealth roll away for the 50% damage bonus, Assassinate back. Punch things. Psi-Strike seems crazy good. Might be a bit clunky for actual gameplay? Didn't play around with it too much. The physical ninja stuff seemed the most viable for the current test server build but it did feel super clunky and the total DPS seemed very low, it just has somewhat big numbers when you hit with Assassinate and stuff. Overall I agree with your assessment 100%. I hope she gets some decent tuning in the next couple of days.
