Anyway, here's the updated link for the gear guide; I'm going to let the old one rot. I started a guide to evaluating stats in general. It's not done by a long shot, but it's started. I still need to cover Blessings; the short version is get Hela/Odin/the other good one that I'm forgetting. Cease to Hope fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Mar 28, 2014 |

HELP HOW DO I SCARLET WITCH Moved and updated here HELP HOW DO I COLOSSUS This is out of date and isn't being updated. Take it with a grain of salt. Colossus jumps into a fight, pops his pets if he has them, pops his big gently caress-off AOE powers, spams a spirit dump appropriate to the situation, then punches until he's full on spirit or poo poo is off cooldown. He's straightforward, but blowing up every last motherfucker on the screen in between punches never gets old. Gear him with Snakeroot Clan for a relic. Good costume core options are two of Strength, Fighting, and a healthpack invuln/invis/25% proc. Get a Gungnir and stop complaining that everyone uses the same Legendary. For blessings, Colossus uses Helas, although Odins are close behind. For Medallions, Colossus uses the same grab-bag as any melee character. Tombstone is best, with Blob, Kurse, and Kingpin right behind. Magneto is an option if you have serious spirit issues. For artifacts, his BIS is something like Adv. Metasensory Array, Adv. Crimson Crystal of Cytorrak, Adv. King Fu Training Sequence, and White Suit Jacket. Ziggurat of Kargul is close and has a useful teleport. Superheroic Yukio's Charm and Advanced Circlet of Cytorrak are both close, and Gem of the Kursed or Hand of Doom may overtake one item or another depending on your particular mix of gear. Pym's Shrinking Serum is an option to shore up his terrible spirit, but really needs Spider-Man's dodge % synergy to work. For Uru crap, obviously you're getting a glove for physical damage. Level up with Seer's Brilliance. At 60, River of Souls is probably your best bet, since it helps with his spirit issues. If you really do have his spirit under control, the cheap DPS runeword is Bone Breaker and the expensive one is Viking Gladiator. Bone Breaker is probably more DPS unless you have his slot 3 unique (Legacy of the Rasputins), because of the strength cap. gently caress you Cease, I'm not reading all that poo poo below: Okay. I run this build, it works fine. How to spec Colossus:

Toshimo posted:Cease to Hope: I'd argue that, while they start diminishing immediately, CR and BR don't exactly have punishing diminishment until 50% and 37.5%, respectively (3600 rating). According to Psylocke's charts, BR has a different curve from CR, and it sucks a lot. I'll take your word for it on CR, and I edited for the next time I update. Spudsly posted:However, I just want to mention their is no benefit to rolling affixes on a level 1 costume (despite being a really wide spread concept), the roll is not truncated to the range of the affix at it's current level. The game keeps more precision hidden away. Check this out if you missed it: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3583020&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=363#post427502935 .

Spudsly posted:But it's demonstrably false! I showed my work and everything. The level 1 costume "smaller range" thing is just superstition. If you can explain to me in small words what you proved and why it matters, okay. Bear in mind, you have two obstacles to overcome. First, I don't care, and second, I'm retarded.

WarLocke posted:Just eyeballing Scarlet Witch's new power trees, it looks like you could make a ballin AoE bitch with Chaos Shift, Obfuscation, Ominous Veil, Ruinous Flux and Chaos Warp. Just teleport into the middle of guys, do damage, do more damage and fear everyone around you, be dodging/blocking ranged attacks, then Chaos Warp apparently hits most of the screen... E-Tap posted:I dunno how "new" her power trees are since I don't think anything major's changed for her in forever, but CeaseToHope's made a few posts about Scarlet Witch in the old thread, god knows where they are now in this new thread though but I'm sure he'll be more than happy to link his post on her if you don't manage to find it by then. Here's the Scarlet Witch guide. The fear power you cast is kind of crap, because enemies flee out of it. The fear veil, however, is awesome because it also comes with projectile deflect.

WarLocke posted:My Storm is 32 now and this is still the case. I basically only ever have to actually attack blues/yellows/bosses. And for them you can poo poo out Ball Lightning like crazy. Everything Storm does in almost every build is area/ranged, and there's much better support for those tags to boot. You'd have to go far out of your way to get a significant amount of energy-only DR on Storm.

WarLocke posted:I am certainly no expert but Maelstrom seems loving ridiculous in places with tons of mooks like dino or tiki xdef waves. The damage per bolt is low but it seems like everything on screen gets hit by a bolt every half-second to second, so the damage quickly piles up. Everything Storm does is good at dealing with those situations. Maelstrom is only useful for  , not for any time you actually care about your performance.

Zombie Samurai posted:Could I get a quick rundown on what's worth stashing? Right now mine is at capacity with elements, runes, relics, uru-forged stuff, old artifacts, and whatever uniques I've found. My crafter is only at 10 so I'm not sure what I need to keep for recipes yet. What can I safely dump, and is there anything I've been trashing that I shouldn't? Elements are garbage. Keep a few pures of each type handy if you want to be lazy, but mostly they're junk. Keep all of your runes. If you really don't have the room for them, read my gear guide and only keep the ones you think you'll use. But you will probably want most of them, since runewords are still in flux. Uru-forged items aren't worth keeping. Keep the ones you know you'll use sometime in the near future. Give away the others to goons, or donate them. Do not feel bad about asking for urus from SG chat. If you really must save some uru items, save gauntlets and crossbows. Almost every character can use one of those two. The good relics are Lemuria (life-on-hit), Snakeroot (movespeed), Subterranea (defense), and Gibborim (spirit). Up to you if you want to keep the others. Cthon (damage-on-hit) and Skrullos (tenacity) are absolutely useless junk. Not all artifacts are worth keeping. Artifacts that aren't on my big gear list are almost certainly disposable junk you'll only use at lower levels if at all, and artifacts with bad rolls often aren't worth fooling with. Artifacts are good money for donating, so do thin the herd every so often. Captain Bravo posted:Well poo poo, nevermind then. Superheroic only gives like, level 50~ gear. Still way better than bottom drops, but there's probably cosmic stuff out there that tops it. Story only. The level 50 one is fine at 60, though. Artifacts have a fixed level they're usable at.

WarLocke posted:I guess there might be a mathematically better build out there (and I know basically nothing about Squirrel Girl) but it strikes me as kind of wrong to not run her as a pet-master type of character. It would be like playing Nightcrawler but not using his teleport-attack powers, or playing cap without shield throws... There's nowhere else worth putting points but her defensive passives.

Blade Leader posted:PSA/reminder that you should be maxing lightning storm and not spirited on storm for MAX DPS I don't think this is true in practice. It's a marginal improvement over Spirited if you're just beating up a target dummy, but any time you're moving instead of attacking or have to refresh Hail because the boss moved or have to do any sort of endurance fight (like XDef), it's worse. You could make up the difference by taking spirit artifacts/runewords/gear, but what's the point?

Kelp Plankton posted:Squirrel Girl is reasonably solid right now but relies on gearing for pet damage to the exclusion of basically everything else. This is really bad advice. Her squirrels do poo poo for damage even when you're rocking +100% or more pet damage. Kelp Plankton posted:- Either Squirrelpocalypse or Death From The Trees. DFFT has great synergy with Savage Swipe(causes slow) DFFT's slow doesn't last long enough to matter for Savage Swipe. (It is useful for holding your targets in place, though.) Only use Savage Swipe if you've got a source of slow that doesn't come from your crappy slowing powers. A slow proc on a ring is a good place to get it.

Kelp Plankton posted:edit 2: I should note that I don't really think anyone should be playing Squirrel Girl if you're just going to focus on SG herself's damage. She's terribly boring if you do that and you're ignoring her primary gimmick. You'd be better off playing Wolverine or Moon Knight or any other melee character in that case. For me it's squirrels or nothin'. She plays exactly the same but with more damage if you don't go all-in on pet-damage items.
