I really wanted to make him work and settled on this:

Predator's Frenzy
Savage Strike
Panther Grace
Panther Soul
Jungle Snare
Mobile Mine Field

1 pointers in blessing, smokescreen and the rest in Doras (or stealth since Doras get chomped in cosmics easily)

Just keep snare/strike up and frenzy forever and ever. Mobile mine field is great when it works and comical when super doom walks through it and all 9 go off.

This is basically what I was using on test and it's reasonably effective. I may have taken Knife Fan instead of Savage Strike, I don't remember. Sucks donkey balls that the really cool-looking sig isn't worth investing in

Think how cool Wrath of Bast would be if it was an almost exact clone of Kneel Before Me. Ghostcat jumps in, assholes are hypnotized by it and walk toward it/cower/whatever, Ghostcat roars for a second or licks its rear end in a top hat or some poo poo then explodes for non-laughable damage a few seconds later. All on a 15s cooldown.

There's already like a 1s delay on the damage, so why not make something useful out of it

At level 40/rank 18, Explosive hits for 4.2k-6.3k, Three Round Burst hits for 7.8k-11.7k, +40% base damage against bosses. Explosive does not do more damage than 3RB even if you adjust for the RoF difference (1.9 vs. 1.4 for me).

The thing about EA is that it pierces with the passive, and explodes again each time it hits a new body or a wall. In practice it's more damage if you can get the target pinned to other mobs or a wall

Also, squirrels now seem to be able to trigger proc chances. Not just little stuff like health-on-hit, but everything. Squirrel Girl has a proc chance on attacking to spawn an additional squirrel, and these squirrels seem to be spawning more squirrels when they attack. I spawned the initial squirrels in the training room and went AFK for half an hour, when I came back she was still hovering at about half her squirrel meter constantly, and this was with her sitting in an area I picked specifically because most of her squirrels' AI couldn't pathfind to training dummies from it. If you let all of her squirrels attack targets on their own forever, you'll probably sit at a full meter indefinitely.

This part is probably the Squirrelpocalypse bug. If you tag something with Squirrelpocalypse and it doesn't die, it will proc squirrels and proc effects indefinitely until it dies.

Panther man is already amazing. Making his sig a steroid and also giving it a boost from 1k dr from Excalibur will push it into the "can always 1-shot cosmic trash" category. That was the biggest gripe I had with his signature.

Ronco Showtime posted:

I really don't understand why everyone thinks Wrath of Bast is a bad sig. It's good, and looks cool! 20 second CD! And soon to have an awesome buff and better tags!

Yeah it's no Unyielding Power but if you stack any skill against that it's going to look lovely. Loki kinda fucks up the whole paradigm of balancing signature powers because its better than the Ults of at least half the heroes out there.

The damage doesn't stack up to The One Off, Unyielding Power, Kneel Before Me, Starktech Turret, or any of the other good signatures. Compared to KBM in particular, which is a well-tuned signature, it's underperforming A little steroid buff (and giving it a melee tag so it benefits from excal/AKFTS/etc) should a really good tweak. It didn't need to be tripled or anything, it's just not the best use of points on a point-starved dude. It's probably going to be my extra point dump after the tweak instead of these useless loving Doras

I agree that Unyielding Power probably isn't a good baseline to evaluate sigs against.

I thought your stats already affected pets? That's why all the pet builds say to pump crit, because it's the best all-around increase for whatever your pet may be, or may be doing?

I've been thinking about doing a 100% pet build, focused on summoning and buffing as many things as possible to fight my battles for me while I sit back and sip a mai tai. What's the best character for this? I've heard Rocket Raccoon is pretty drat buff, with Groot and turrets. Obviously Squirrel Girl is a name that gets tossed around a lot, and isn't Emma also designed to work with a pet?

I mean, I'm not looking to shame others in X-def, I'm just looking for a decent build that's focused on pets, preferably with some passives I can take to boost them up and let them play the game for me. :v:
I think you quoted the wrong person, but only crit chance and brut chance affect pets.

For the build post, since it seems to be lacking a solid Emma build (I am Scrotadendron in game)

MAX:
Psychic Domination (Make your enslaved dude much more awesome and basically prevent him getting killed)
Inspire Minion (This is your bread and butter, always use it on cooldown, keeps dudes off you because you have basically no way to defend yourself)
Astral Bolt (Basic that restores spirit, can switch out for something else if you get river of souls on your uru)
Kneel Before Me (A huge boom for lots of damage and you're almost impervious while casting it)
Telepathic Mastery (A good damage/survivability passive)
Telepathic Torment (You can probably do any other of the mental AOE's... but you need some other button to push when fighting dudes and this is as good as any with the debuffs it applies; no idea if this is optimal sperg dps or not)

One Point Wonders:
Unlock Potential (use it on cooldown, but not worht more than one point imo)
Frenzied Confusion (drop it if you gently caress something up and dudes are attacking you instead of your minion)
Mental Overload (once you get good at enslaving and you're in an area with a lot of good dudes to enslave like XDEF, this can boost your dps)
Lustrous Lunge (gotta use this to motor around)

Remaining points wherever. Frenzied Confusion is where I dump mine. The basic point of this build is to let your minion do all your damage. Get a guy who is level 63 out of a cosmic. Best affixes are (in my personal order of preference): Attack Speed, Attack Speed Aura, Extra Damage. I prefer buff melee dudes like the Dark Elf Skirmishers in Cosmic Odin's Palace. You stand in the back and keep him inspired, using Kneel at opportune times, and dotting everything with telepathic torment.

Artifacts are Pluvian, Power Prism Shard, Advanced Skrull Targeting Computer, and Headband.

All this is open to any other goons who want to chime in but I find I can clear cosmics solo easily with this build and only a couple of her uniques.

You don't need to max Astral once you get her gloves (or ever) and you DO need to max Psychic Blast for ~max deeps~ you dumb goober

Newb question re: costume cores. Once you craft them into a costume, are they on that costume for good? Replaceable but not retrievable/swappable? My crafter's only lvl10 but only has a "Swap Affixes" option, does swap cores show up at higher craft level?

I got my first Costume Core earlier and can't decide if I should slap it on my stock Storm costume or break down and buy the 90s costume I've been wanting before I use the core. How rare are core drops anyway?

Cores aren't rare at all. Good cores (three affixes, all useful) are rare.

Swap affixes also swaps cores.

You can't ever get the core back, though.

So I had reinstalled the game and forgotten my old account info, made a new one....then my friend gifted me Civ V so I completely forgot about this game.

Played MH over the weekend, completely awesome. Had a great time as Punisher, so I went ahead and dropped some cash to grab a few heroes, since I was thoroughly enjoying myself and BOGO was going on.

I now have Punisher, Cyclops, Hulk, Gambit, Deadpool, Iron Man, Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel.

Do any of these stand out as significantly better than the others? Or significantly worse? From the second post it seems like I got a pretty good set and it might just be preference.

Also I leveled Cyke to 50 for the synergy but after a while he's pretty boring. Crazy AOE damage, though.

Ms. Marvel is OP as poo poo. Iron Man is ~top tier~. Gambit is pretty OK now I guess IDK. Cyclops is powerful but boring. Hawkeye is good but you're a goon so there's an excellent chance you're a dummy who won't appreciate him.

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...

Pet damage is terrible and it's not worth gearing for, but even in good non-pet-focused aspergers-approved builds it's worth maxing Squirrel Friend to keep the squirrels flowing and their attendant buffs maxed.

Good breakdown from a good pub.

quote:

@Uniclonus said: He has Cap's Shield Charge, Shield Bounce, and Shield Bash.
Daredevil's Triple Strike, Apprehend, and Whirling Club.
Hawkeye's Wave of Arrows, Three Round Burst, and Teargas Arrow.
Spider-man's Web Spray, Webswing Attack, and Stick Around (think those are the ones. I don't have Spidey yet so I could be wrong)

quote:

@Uniclonus said: Further tree details:
He has 3 powers each from Daredevil, Cap, Hawkeye, and Spidey. They're tagged for the hero they're copied from because of his toggles and his one passive.

The passive gives straight Defense, Dodge, Damage and Crit rating, in addition to temp Def and Dodge buff when he uses a Cap or DD power, and a temp Damage and Crit buff when using Hawkguy or Spidey .

He has 4 toggles, one for each of those heroes. Each toggle gives a thematic benefit appropriate to the hero it's based on, plus a synergy for each point into the appropriately tagged powers. And 2 toggles can be active at a time.
