Not really, my spidey team up dies all the time and I only bring him out if I need a boss tanked for a short while. Glad I didn't impulse buy that team up advance pack.

Should note that they do come with a pretty huge inventory so you can store more crap there so get it for that alone.

You get the inventory even if you don't own a team up. Just right click where the team up would be.

It's :colbert: as gently caress but I don't want to see people like Silver Surfer as playable characters, because Cyclops or loving Squirrel Girl will be just as strong as him mechanically and it makes me mad.

Oh wow I thought that was for team-up items only so mine's filled with worthless team-up greys and greens. I don't really have a good explanation for why I thought this :downs:

Yeah, part of it's definitely that some people's animations don't transition as smoothly into others (like people whose shoulder-charge kind of abilities just have a 1s cooldown some of the time?), and some people have a little cast-time built into their abilities that doesn't help any (HT being a prime candidate, his thing that throws a burning 4 onto the ground just stops you dead in your tracks to huck the thing). Dr. Strange is another one of those---I love playing him, but you definitely have to get into a rhythm with his spellcasting or else it feels like riding a bike with square wheels.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. At least the game systems and overall action is still really fun.

I kinda feel that way but otoh they already have dudes like Hulk and Thor so I've learned to just ignore it.

I think in the game's "lore" they actually talk a bit about it being some different universe (which is how they explain all the duplicate dudes) so you could assume it's also making everyone roughly the sameish power (which iirc was actually what happened in Secret Wars).

Is it worth getting a Team-up? 400 is a poo poo ton of splinters for how casually I'm playing and I'd like to get Iron Man or Deadpool someday.

Maybe not if you are devoted to playing as little as possible and not spending any money at all on buying heroes. If you think to yourself 'hey I could spend $5 on this game'(do it now for the bogo), and 'hey I want to level a few heroes to 60' then you are probably committed enough to warrant a team up purchase.

If you have a level 60 hero and want to do big boy group stuff, do your teammates a favor and buy a team up.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

It seems like +1 All Powers is worth like 250-300ish Damage Rating currently. Does anyone know if that will change significantly with the altered power scaling in the patch? Trying to finalize my artifacts and I'm hesitant to do that until I know how they'll stack up after tomorrow.

I don't think that's so much the animations not transitioning but more due to a delay in how powers register. I wanna say back when they nerfed Zigg they also messed around with how abilities are queued up in general and animation cancelling, so if you kit a keystroke while in the animation for one power it won't actually register.

This is a big thing for me on strange because initially I was using the tasker build to level with (it's bad btw) and it was horrible because most of his spells had huge windups, which doesn't fit in with his mechanic of chaining stuff together quickly to chain more stuff, etc. The movement thing you mention is a bug with the game with movement powers that I think's been in forever but it's apparently not a big deal to the devs.

Yeah the Strange spell windup/cancelling especially bugs me because I can be rolling through a rotation during the Dora defense parts of the one-shot and sometimes I'll just be loving hammering something and it's just not going, meanwhile I accidentally burn the full mysticism bar bonus on something that cost half as much Spirit. You're supposed to have the busted hands Dr. Steve not me.

Yes. The ~250 DR estimate is based on 1 skill point = +5% damage (because 200 DR = +5% damage). Since one skill point is now worth +10% damage, the value of +1 skill has doubled to 400 DR.

Silver Surfer might arrive earlier than expected? And here I though it'd be *MONTHS* before I saw a new character I wanted again because I have had zero interest in Fister Mantastic, Psylocke, or IW.

Awesome, thanks. Guess I'll be hanging on to my AMeta and Adv Agamatto then.

Oh and also, Ryolnir just said that Omega points are a static exp value, so grinding at 60 will acquire them substantially faster than leveling/prestiging.

So, as a new player with Scarlet Witch and Storm (haven't played her yet), i was thinking on buying another character to take advantage of the bogo sale.

Is Human Torch any good? He seems "fun" from when i find a random one in PVE.
