Yeah toward the end I saw the viability of DD but man, Emma in the first two fights was awesome. She is not grey tier now and has moved up into purplish-blue tier.

Man. Tons of fun though!!

I would think her biggest issue is the lack of real spirit spenders, I guess?

Oh yeah if anybody needs a new code: Spoilersaw

Enter that.

And also, one last note on raids--my strange goal is to raid with anybody who wants to raid as this stuff comes out of beta. I absolutely love the work they have done and can't believe how strong this stuff is for :gaz:

I hope you all give it a try and see what it is like yourself. I'm a strong proponent for what they're doing and can't recommend them anymore for that endgame content.

One other thing, raided with some new guys today and we still crushed it. One of which, was a Hawkeye (whom we poo poo on way too much and it isn't deserved anymore). NotaLizardman, beast that Hawkeye. Was awesome. Two Spider-Mans, an Emma, still crushed it.

I hope everybody sees that you can raid with anybody and win. Except Ghost Rider. He is the new "Hawkeye". And Cyke too. Yeah he is useless. His pewpews do the damage of a papercut, which can brutal to a scrape of falling off your bicycle.

Yeah I think that may be right. Soothingvapors can probably take that one as he got to see what raiding with her was like. Her haste aura really was awesome on the pet though from what I gathered.

I'd love to try raiding at some point but I just kind of stayed away since usually goons throw an absolute fit in MMO's if you dont know the specific raid mechanics. Been moving since raids were implemented so haven't had time to check it out.

I did fine when AOE was necessary or beneficial, but yeah all I have is dot layering and Psy Drain for ST. Which is fine 99% of the time, but on Monolith I think I was inadvertently tagging Fire Giants with dots because all my poo poo's AoE.

DD's ST is just so nuts that it's way better when you're up against burn phases. ICR kept saying "big hits, burn your big hits guys" and it's like... uh okay *continues to hold down Psy Drain button, dies* It was definitely nicer to be able to do max DPS from a distance on the first two bosses though.

Pretty sure +/-% Crit/Brutal have zero effect on pets.

Huh, that would explain why my pets kept doing brutal strikes while I was sitting at -16% brutal rating, I just figured Gaz math made it into a 16% bonus when it went into the negatives.

Arram Daywalker posted:

That actually makes it from about a tie to a win for Shadow King's Possession.

Cho gives you ~9% crit (INT crit rating bonus and bonus 5%)

SKP (11/20) gives ~6.5% Crit / ~5% brutal strike

I used my freshly 60 SG to get some numbers, I'm looking at +180% pet damage, 30% crit chance, and 10% Brutal chance sitting in a hub.

Comparing SKP (11/20) vs Cho (5/5) because they're about the same points, SKP comes out ahead. SKP comes out way ahead if the % bonus doesn't transfer. Seems to be best to run Frigga over Hela in every case.

Did you try testing which omegas do more damage? SKP might end up with more crit duo to Cho's 5% crit -brut being bugged, but it is giving 20% pet damage from Int compared to 11 in SKP giving 11%.

I horribly screwed up the second encounter and was only lightly punished. :negative:

More seriously, as long as you're even semi-intelligent then you can raid no problem.

Reminder: Last day of Steam Sale for the Marvel packs and I have bought quite a few packs for future competitions and gifting. Personally, I'll be using a Wolferine, 2 Hawkeyes and 2 Black Widow Packs for some upcoming competitions.

If you got goon friends and want to give 'em something other than Herpes, I highly recommend some cheap packs.

Basically I compared the difference between: 20% pet damage, 9% crit, and -25% brutal strike to 11% pet damage, 6.5% Crit, and 5% brutal strike. With my gear, SKP does more damage by reasonable amount. I haven't actually made it into any models or anything because I'm lazy so there may be some cross over points in pet dmg / crit chance that would make me wrong.

Dont' listen to the haters, Rocket is very good while leveling his issues mostly come into play when trying out the powers I dont mention below, and for high level end-game stuff like 60's X-Def and Cosmic Terminals.

It's been a while since i've leveled Rocket, but maxing

Quickshot
Groot
Personal Def Screen
Energy Barrage for single targets
BFG
Procynoid Senses
Wily Scavenger

for leveling, with 1 point in each turret, 1 in gravity mine, 1 in timely recovery.

Itemize for Energy Damage and Health, pet damage artifacts and uniques when you get them.

Also: Gazillion has made threads in a bunch of the various Hero subforums asking for new feedback about how heroes are playing right now and what changes and costumes you'd like to see for them in the future.

So far i've seen:
Spider-Man
Hawkeye
Psylocke
Luke Cage
Invisible Woman
Ms. Marvel

quote:

The Questions:

[1] What are your favorite things about the hero currently - stuff you want us to keep the same?



[2] What build(s) do you currently prefer?



[3] Which powers do you think could be great if changed somehow? How would you change them?



[4] Are there any bugs that are currently affecting the hero? (Also post these in Hero Bug section)



[5] What costumes would you most like to see for the hero (top 3 only)?



[6] What type of itemization do you use?



[7] Would you like to see any new item types added to support certain styles? (be very specific)



[8] What are the Top 5-10 things you would like to see done for the hero in the next few patches?
