"I can't wait until cancer inevitably chokes the life out of Curt Schilling."

Ghostlight posted:

From a gameplay perspective, setting down a healing field and then holding down a button while mobs walk at you is pretty dull.

Watching it is dull, true, but actually playing it, you have to pay attention so you're rotating your DoTs and buffs to keep up your healing and damage bonuses, and make sure you're healing just enough to stay on the edge where you're getting the maximum damage boost but won't get one-shot by an unlucky hit. With high end gear it's just infinite facetanking where nothing can kill you for most content, but against actually hard stuff, it's all about seeing just how long you can stay on that edge before you have to bail out and reposition. There's a lot more going on with that build than it initially appears.

When i think of good/bad heroes I think of ones that are fun/painful to level, in which case ghost rider and hawkeye are literally hitlers

Weirdly, I liked leveling him since I did it during the Holo-sim weekend and it turns out spamming explosive arrow into Kill X Mooks wave is the best thing he does. At 60 he's kind of a pain since he dies to a stiff breeze and doesn't really have much damage to show for it.

From 1 to about 45 popping three or four wheelies to get you into the fray leaves him ridiculously spirit drained.

Ok, so I haven't seen a lot of Ghost Rider players, but I was under the impression he could actually... you know... ride his motorcycle. Does he not have a standard movement power to just hop on the motorcycle and ride, similar to some character's Flight skills? Or does he literally have to hammer down on "POP A WHEELIE" over and over again as his movement power, like trying to tactical roll Punisher around the battlefield?

I mean, Ghost Rider is like, three loving things.

Skull for face
On fire
Has sweet motorcycle

How could they only add in one motorcycle-related power, and have it last for all of half a second at a time?

Edit: Doomsaw, if you're reading this, please retool Ghost Rider's three trees into "Skull For Face" "On Fire!" and "Sweet Motorcycle."

Also its really lame that mofuckin' Ghost Rider doesn't have a chain yank skill, he's all about grabbing dudes and staring them in the eyes and going IM ANGRY until they melt of sheer shame.

Then again it would probably be completely useless against bosses and mobs of enemies like every chain yank skill in an MMO/RPG/MMORPG/Diablolike (except piderman's I guess)

He does, but until the Anniversary patch it was only +30% movement speed and somehow slower as a mode of travel than simply hammering Wheelie.

Ghost Rider has a bunch of motorcycle powers. I love them all. There's Ride which is a motorcycle that you ride around, and it has a respectable DoT that will kill a lot of trash. Then theres a move where you rev up the bike and shoot it at someone. And then there's one where you launch in the air and smash some dudes with your bike.

I think Ghost Rider is fun as gently caress.

Yes, this is 90% going to be Cable's signature in some form. With some of the new tech we've been setting up, I think it can turn out very nicely.

Something like Moon Knight's signature (where you press it a bunch of times quickly for immense damage) but with the classic ranged graphics.

I take it she is a stand in the back dmg dealer? What's the best rotation ?

nope she's a midranged/melee beast. Gotta be in melee to leverage RW.

HELP HOW DO I INVISIBLE MOM (updated 8/8)

Max: Storm of Spheres, Combat Force Fields, Cascading Force, QC, Resonating Wave, PFF, Seeker Orbs
One: Conceal Allies, Invisible Combat, Levitating Disc, Shield Dome
Remainder: THE CRUSHER
If You A Basic Bitch: Drop THE CRUSHER for Crashing Wave Style
If You Raidin: Gotta take CWS, need that ST dmg.

Trash: Keep THE CRUSHER x1-3 out if you want. Who cares. Go invis, hit RW, everything's dead. If it's not, hit some other buttons and it will be.
Boss: Keep THE CRUSHER x3 out, mandatory. Try not to overcast them, they take you out of the fight. Invis, Seeker Orbs, RW, QC on cooldown. Recast Storm of Spheres whenever it expires. Layer that damage,

Medal: I like Doc Ock medal because everything worth casting is AOE and increasing the radius of RW makes it feel real nice. Other options: same options you'd use for any other AOE/energy character.

Sig: Who cares. Whatever fits your build goals. The standard good ones are good on Sue.
Runeword: Bowazon or GOM on def Uru

Special Gear Notes: Doc Ock Arms if you got em. So nice. Don't use her unique chest solo. Cosmic is better.

Single Target Notes: CWS sucks dongs but it's her only single target option. But if you have a Doc Ock Arms on, Cascading Force closes the gap somewhat. AOE supremacy.

Basic Notes: Don't take a basic. Literally infinite spirit.

Invisibility Notes: Going invis becomes a steroid. Never sit on 3 Focus. In my gear, every time I go invisible I get:
-688 DR for 5s (from CFF)
-504 DR and 378 crit (from IW gloves, one per 30s)
-734 DR for duration of invis (from IW boots)
-357 DR for duration of invis (From Invisible Combat)
-double damage on RW; and
-475 DR (if the invis was actually Conceal Allies)

poo poo dies hard and fast.

I'm aware. It's still worth maxing and adds more damage, merrily ticking away in the background, than any other 19 points will get you. Except maybe CWS. Which, as previously discussed, is some bitch poo poo.
