if you can balance a tac-hammer on your head, you can head off your opponent with a balanced attack

Artificial additional 'content'

Not a fan.

Mortal Strike is a boss-only affix and on hit, prevents a hero from healing for two seconds. It’s duration will appear in your Debuff panel on the lower right.

This one is really heavy handed. They couldnt have tested it with like 30% reduced healing?

Says Invisible Woman is on track for the end of the month as well. Wonder how many splinters she will cost, I'm trying to save up for Iron Man as well.

I'm going to be writing up and detailing my Doctor Strange build shortly (when the video finishes uploading) and I really hope this new patch doesn't break something stupid in typical Gaz fashion.

I'm pretty excited about it though, and I think some of you Strange players might enjoy what it has to offer.

Just in case people arent upset enough yet:

Savage Strike - To prevent enemies receiving too many CC immunity stacking effects and therefore making the “good” CC abilities not trigger, Savage Strike no longer has the knock up effect, and it’s based damage has been increased in accordance with removing a short CC.

Yes, I don't know where whoever wrote that heard it was this week.

I even remember people talking about how it won't be ready for Winter Soldier when they last mentioned it.

Oh, good

We decided our lovely spike damage bosses were not lovely enough, so we made them even worse! Hey, remember when we said we were removing spike damage from the game when we nerfed dodge?

Cosmic Prestige Baby Wolferine? Yes, it's happening now.

Also, stupid change for BP Savage Strike as jubelio mentioned above. Guess it wasn't canon enough as only Sagat has Tiger Uppercut. Should have known.

..... but it isn't spike damage? It's a debuff that prohibits healing for two seconds. That's all.

The inability to respond to spike damage immediately(via healing) makes spike damage worse. Who wants to take bets on mortal strike not having a cooldown?

True but healing in general really isn't in a position that I'd consider OP, so this is a really strange direction to take with new boss affixes. I can't imagine it making fights much more interesting, unlike the teleportation affix which may or may not end up being cool.

How exactly is Cosmic Prestige supposed to take 25 times longer than a regular prestige? Did they slash the XP gains or something?

^xp required to hit level n*25 doesn't need to be overcomplicated.


Well I'm glad we all banded together guys so we can share our disappointment in knock-up of the gods being removed.

On the plus side, I guess BP is just getting more damage across the board between the unique changes, (huge) sig buff, and savage strike getting boosted.

More damage = more fun!

jubelio posted:

The funny thing about the BP "fix" to me is that uppercut never actually didn't affect the "good" CC-bewildering hex. None of the other CC in this game is any good imo cause dudes are always being tagged with some 3% slow or w/e giving the same cc reduction as an actual stun. Losing the knockup sucks from a humor perspective, but more damage is a fair, if slightly less funny, solution.

Also has anyone checked if the Strange bug is in? The patch notes seem to mess with projections in general, but they don't mention if the actual bug was fixed.

Also Taskmaster addition is cool, makes up for teamups being pushed back imo. Although I'm wondering how well he's been tested.

Oh god he has a bunch of toggles (a Spidey toggle, a Hawkeye toggle, a Captain America toggle, a Daredevil toggle, one other I didn't see) for different roles/bonuses and you can have 2 toggles active at a time

Then his Shield skills synergize with his Cap toggle (and so on) and give it additional bonuses

edit: his Ult appears to be "summon a shitload of students to gently caress poo poo up"
