I think it's best to say that it's best to roll costume affixes either at 1 or 60, since then you can check the roll range from the compendium. In the middle you can't realty tell is the roll good or not because there's nothing to compare to.

The saddest thing about the Dr. Strange bug is how utterly poo poo the projection skill is without it. If it was playable then whitelisters and the pubbies would have found this out within a minute of Strange going on TC.

There's a sweet spot between 0 damage and 50k damage per hit per illusion, yet sadly they're wayyyyyyyyy below it.

I want a functioning and viable projection build. I don't want to lay out lovely dot fields 24/7. Not saying he can't have a viable build doing that, I just don't want to play him that way.

This is pretty funny in retrospect:

How long something is on public is irrelevant to quality. A majority of the bugs found are reported during internal/WL, it's just a matter of them being fixed before release that's the problem. I can't think of a single instance where public test has found something we didnt considering it's pretty much our focus to break stuff.

I did my own tests and posted in http://forums.marvelheroes.com/discussion/82189/cosmic-prestige-is-actually-50-times-longer-not-25-times-as-stated-on-the-tooltip/p4

Turned hero synergies off, same level characters, red Kingpins Warehouse. I killed the three guaranteed mobs at the end of the alleyway.

Results:

40% xp bonus, non-cosmic character: Mobs 10065 xp, orb 5032 xp, boss orb 36921 xp.
50% xp bonus, cosmic character: Mobs 213 xp, orb 107 xp, boss orb 791 xp.

That gives us factors of 47,2x, 47,0x and 46,6x.

I'd really like to see what sort of a gear setup you have where +4 or +5 skill doesn't blow any reasonable amount of DR out of the water.

According to the ~~SW spreadsheet~~, better than +6 Entropy gloves:
  • Darkhold
  • Well rolled Dragonfang
Slightly worse but with different utility:
  • Hellfire Shotgun (17 spirit/350hp on kill)
  • Death Seed (health, revive)
  • Soulsword (single target M'Kraan proc, +1 energy, invuln proc)

I'm still using a Death Seed for the 2k extra health (especially since I use Doc Ock arms instead of Nexus Mark) and the revive isn't bad either. It's a bit of a shame because the Gloves are really good (especially the summon procs and petrify can be quite helpful in cosmics), but DS + health core puts me up to 15kish health which is kinda needed.

Also, I am wondering why the go-to combination with the Scarlet Witch is Combustion Hex and Ravenous Hex. According to the web builder site, if you max both Hex Binding and Ravenous Hex, since they synergize, Binding last for almost 15 seconds (I'm assuming the damage lasts the entire duration) and Ravenous heals 220hp/sec/target - and those are 20-point, no-gear-mod numbers. :monocle:

It's not. You only have four damage skills worth using so why wouldn't you max all of them?

MAX:
Combusting Hex
Hex Binding
Ravenous Binding
Chaos Warp
Chaos Magic

1 point:
Obfuscation
Warding Veil
Reality Implosion
(Bewitching Hex, Corrosive Hex, Chthonic Gloom + Ominous Veil if you feel like it)

You then have 23-27 points left over to distribute between Bewildering Hex and Ruinous Flux. Whatever floats your boat - Flux is free damage but scales kinda badly and having a 10+s Bewildering is really nice.

20 points in Obfuscation nets you 1000 defence and 10% projectile evasion, whoopee. Not worth it.

BW looks great. Grenades changed to small initial damage and a dot, Stinging Barrage damage up by like 30%, Widow's kiss damage doubled, Drones doubled.

The new sniper power stealths you, but so does your roll.

Widowmaker powers seem pretty pointless. CdG hits for like 60k without full widowmaker, 73k with full. But it has 0.8 attack speed. Also it does physical damage so it's pretty pointless in an energy build. Sure, if it bruts it does 500k or thereabouts, but that's only a 25% chance.

RRR is officially the best passive (750 crit, 750 brut, 1700 crit damage, 6,4 spirit on crit at level 20).

I really like it. I guess you're going to Stinging shot continuously while weaving in both grenades, kiss and drones. The good news is you'll have infinite spirit.

From the accounts of goons last night, most of the nerfs arent invalidating the hero, just bringing them in line with the current power curve. ymmv.

She may have been overpowered, but now I've got Level 40 characters that could mop the floor with my fully geared Level 60 Storm. She's not being "tuned", she's being executed. I guarantee this will make 90% of Storm users stop playing her.

Official forums :c00lbutt:

edit: I mean you have to admit that a power that kills every white mob in the game (up to level 60) when you walk past them might be a bit overtuned. Prestiging Storm was easy since you just press the flight button until you reach the boss.

Just bought SG in anticipation. I've had the Aviator costume for ages from smashing and I've been saving it for this.

edit: BW is kinda hilarious with the permastealth and tauntlocking bosses with Timed Explosive.

Here's what I'm gravitating to:

MAX:
RRR
Sweepkick (vulnerability, knockdown, 360 aoe for trash)
Deadly Blade
CDG
Timed Explosive
Drones

They are rare. You might get one in your third run or you can run it 200 times and not see one.

All I know is that when I had like 1300% SIF after booning (and no RIF, it bugged out somehow) I got like 4 artifacts every wave of X-def.

BW is really fun now. You can still tauntlock bosses with explosives so you basically stealth roll to the boss and then throw explosives every 2 seconds while you kill him.

You won't get hit once.
