How the hell do melee characters even survive cosmic midtown? I'm going there as ranged and I often die before the game starts rendering the thing that killed me. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants appearing in that parking garage at the top of the map is a war crime.

Yeah, the 88 clearly showed that skill and effort were more important than the heroes people got. Skill >>> omeegas > effort > equipment > heroes. Which is why I can safely sign up again, even though I won't have time to play in August.

Goons you're just terrible as always. Publords are bestest.
This is exactly the same build I came up with over the weekend thinking about how to make a ranged build but didn't bother to go through with because I wasn't sure if it would be workable zooming like an idiot through bosses. I feel slightly better about myself for that, but I'd still never get the gear to make it below a minute.

Also how does he not have a robot.

You completely gear differently (with many characters, not all) for CMM, CICP and Axis Raid. Gotta look at survivability as well and not 100% DPS in those modes. The guys who aren't dying much or at all--they're specced to kill and to live.

It's different than what this game was about 60 days ago, which was 100% Dps.

I was happy to pull a 46s ttk with a melee build earlier after respecing omegas for the 15th time or so (and that's just today) to get him just right. No Psionic Overload too. Dude's been a beast in cosmic midtown so far, even in melee - invuln, near invuln, pet taunt, high dodge, high projectile deflect, high damage reduction (half the time), huge heal, invisibility, passive health regen plus life on hit/invuln on my core...he just keeps on punching and only dies to the guaranteed one shots. I've yet to test his ttl at the Red Axis sentinels but I have high hopes. The more I play Vision, the more I like him. Can't wait for his bugs to be patched up.

I never said it at the time but I know we all went crazy last tourney. This was one of the best of the whole tourney. Starts the training. Shows the moves. Gets swole like a boulder.

Then, like a boss, he knocks out the favorite to win the whole tourney in Elite 8. I remember watching and being like, "Oh my god he actually did it."

And of course, I laughed throughout the whole video. As I did majority of the videos. The videos were unbelievably amazing.

If you don't mind using Psionic Overload, you can use the same omegas as Yepso's Thor build at marvelheroes.info since they're both phys/energy melee/ranged heroes. I want to keep his ttl high so I put a couple more points in Goblin Formula and 4 points in Sabretooth in the Mutation tree. I may have a point or 3 in Hyde Forumla too with max Weapon X. Can't remember atm. Probably not since my previous iterations were messing with Hyde Formula. I'm running 60% crit and 60-something% brutal with Sabretooth so that node ended up working great. It was also the only node remaining that would boost all Vision's skills. Also I use a ilvl 80 M'kraan Crystal on him over the Power Cosmic.

Reading about the poor gear that guy used for the 42s ttk has me wanting to mess with that build again. His pure ranged playstyle is not fun at all to me though.

Some Vision buffs/fixes incoming.

Increased offensive profile. Precise buffs still to be determined, but we're going to improve his damage in some capacity this week. As some may have noted, we're trending towards releasing characters in a more safe, controlled place in regards to tuning for their first week. This is much healthier for the game overall, as it helps to prevent power creep and preserves hero balance. Given Vision's very different Solar Power mechanics and how they interplay with his kit, it is not unexpected to find overlooked combinations of Omega or Items that could make him overpowered, as was seen in Test Center in one particular iteration. Now that he's been unleashed to the world and it's certain that he's under the bar, we can bring him up safely.

High-Density Slam will be altered to move to cursor location, just like it's phasing brother Comeuppance. This will make using these powers while density-dancing much more fluid, as they will have the same targeting styles. We'll also be making their animation times closer, ultimately making either version feel about the same in terms of combat feel.

His basic punch (in either density) isn't gaining the bonus damage after changing densities. That'll be fixed. Sorry!

We rushed Vision We'll be buffing his damage so he's stupid ridiculous even in the five-thumbed hands of Amadeus Cho speccers.

High-Density Slam is a good change.

His basic punch literally lol that we missed this.

No mention of fixing the density shifting lock bug let's pretend this will happen because it's annoying as gently caress

What gear are you using for the punch spec? I've really liked Vision but having no GOKs or other obvious top tier artifacts means I'm running with basically just what I could scrape together for him.

What are the basic ways people increase survivability? I figure you have to sacrifice offense somewhere, so is there a good rule of thumb for where you should look to add survivability gear/enchantments/etc. and what you should add? Specifically for characters with low Omegas; I'm up to like 400.

Meh, i just switch to a better character. Gearing for survivability just means you aren't doing enough damage compared to the hps the boss gains by you being there. There is very little you can do to gain enough survivability without completely tanking your dps.

Yeah, a few any hero uniques are dropping from ICP/MM boxes at ilevel 69, they seem to come from the 40ish range boxes, most of mine where while in 45+ icp.
