Could get Angela, Blade, Cyclops, Emma, Goblin, Iceman, Iron Fist, Kitty Pryde, Magik, Magneto, War Machine.

I eliminated some other eligible ones because I didn't want speed/energy, strength/durability, or speed/fighting competing for gear with my other guys and stuff. I hate pet classes, enjoy classes that have neat builds that have powers that interact back and forth with each other, and I have no real preferences about ranged vs. melee vs. hybrid.

cyclops if you want to keep leveling dudes, his lv50 synergy is 10% exp. Also people find him fun to play.I did not however.

I suppose its a testament to the game that I absolutely loathe pretty much every design decision they've made lately and yet here I am reinstalling the game for a third time this week.

What are some good Ranged characters at the moment? Maybe they'll have it easier then my Hulk does.

I've got a little bit of chapter 10 left, and I just hit 60 as wolverine. Any advice as to what I should be doing besides picking another character to level at this point? I'm doing the AIM poo poo as I find them, but I'm really not sure what to do as far as gear progression if that even exists.

I played this game a couple times, but never enough to even get through the story, and I'm trying real hard to not just put it down after I finish the story. I will say overall I think this is a step in the right direction. The combat feels a little less ridiculous, but at the same time I can't even do red level poo poo because I'm bad, undergeared, or wolverine just sucks. I'm probably just bad.

making GBS threads AOEs everywhere as Loki with a few illusions tanking or staff blasting targets has been hilariously dumb and effective so far.

If you want to play more Wolverine, smash yourself into the cosmic trial until you pass it (it feels much easier now, or I might just be getting lucky). Then soak up uniques in Cosmic Hightown until you feel you have beaten Wolverine.

Gear progression right now is "get all level 60s" basically. There are recipes to upgrade the item level of the gear, but it's meant to take literal weeks and will probably only benefit current uniques, not the Omega items (release TBD) yet to come.

It works on Cosmics too, it's just that nobody does this because why would they when good uniques are abound. Since it's designed for the rando-affix style items already, it'll probably wind up working on Omegas too. This won't make it any easier for a guy who just finished story to get the recipes, but it means if he does work towards it it probably won't go to waste in six years when they implement their new system.

personally I go with guns, rockets, lasers, and nitrous huffing

almost everything is movement tagged so you can abuse the hell out of midtown signet, meaning you don't have to gear a single bit of CR and can instead go with tons of BR for all those sweet red numbers
the only skill that won't have 100% crit is your gas bomb, but that's ok since it's weak and is just there for the vuln



medallion is doom, power duration makes nitrous boost last longer which is nice

also this builds shooting n' moving mechanic plays really well with a controller if that's your thing

Wait, in this patch did they actually consolidate all non sig powers to work with power duration or is that still random as gently caress?

The cosmic trial was easier and then they buffed in in the most recent patch because I guess it was too easy.

I assume it's still the same as usual, nitrous boost always worked with power duration. Some non-sig skills still don't work with power duration, such as jugg's Scion of Cyttorak (but the tooltip does state power duration does not affect it)

well, the big thing with that Gobbo build is that Goblin Gunner is movement tagged and fired 5/sec, so midtown signet is on for pretty much every attack and cooldown layer. Spidey doesn't really have something similar.

right, it's also a channel skill and all channel skills snapshot relevant stats upon activation which remain unchanged until you stop channeling

MM sig proc is only 30% so you need movement skills that can get lots of hits per activation, like channel skills, large aoes, or dot powers (dots will basically keep MM sig on by themselves.) Gobby has all that so basically after your first couple shots you are in 100% crit mode until everything is dead.

I'm not sure what spiderman has, but if it's just small aoe crashdowns and dash attacks it won't be easy to manage the MM procs.
