is there a good way to get vulnerability from gear available to and suitable for phoenix jean grey? because she doesn't get vuln on any of her powers, so far as I can tell.
"Having Falcon-Cap or Arachne as your team-up" if that counts as gear.

Good news friends, Doomsaw+Shades works for Nightcrawler too. You have to use a bunch of Flourish powers, your talent lineup looks like you're a dumb rear end in a top hat, and your aoe is nonexistent but you fill the screen with red numbers and have decent survivability because you're constantly in and out of stealth with a deflect buff + things are dead. It's stupid.

e:
Here is the dumbest-rear end poo poo



You get a bunch of +% sword power damage, and when you're stealthed your Flourishes autocrit and gain 25% damage. Also your sig autocrits and gives you concealment (unbreakable stealth) for 5 seconds. And your Flourish powers get +75% damage, -100% cost after using a Teleport. Your "dash" already has 5 charges and gives you 1.5s of stealth on use, and is a teleport.

Rotation: Alternate Bamf! and a Flourish power. Sabre Storm refreshes your other Flourish powers so use it last. Throw some Righteous Frenzy charges in when you're bored, same with Blink Strike. Sig when everything's up and keep teleporting, even though you're concealed, because that 75% damage boost is Killer.

You can probably swap out your t2 choice for the far-right one (stacking dodge/damage buff on teleport power use) but since I'm not seeing a UI element for tracking it right now, gently caress it.
And the artifacts could do better too but, with the damage this is doing already, What Ev Er.

First one, then t'other.

Specifically, I went in with an untested all-Ranged build by accident, which seemed to be doing fine until I suddenly realized there was a time limit and I'd passed it. :(
Then I switched back to my Melee set-up, and got owned by Madame Cobra (~90% of the time), swarms of goons (5%), or ran out time again (5%) over the course of about 20 attempts. I've tried mixing and matching a lot of feats and powers, but I'm hoping someone has suggestions for something I might be missing.

One bit of advice: Take the T2 talent you're skipping, the stacking buff. Righteous Frenzy's big purple farts are your UI indicator. Whenever there's less than two fart clouds up, hit Righteous Fart.

Get pirate deadpool as a team up and let him lock everything down 1/5 of the time once he gets his ultimate ability.
Get better rolls on your gear / non combat pet. Upgrade your gear to ilevel 66 or 69. Spend what little infinity points you have too.
Get better at dodging the super telegraphed attack coming from Madame Hydra. Even easier if you are ranged.

There's really no decent equipment option to render enemies vulnerable, so until Gaz remember to give Phoenix Jean a vulnerability-inducing power it's team-up or bust unfortunately.

Is it really reasonable to suggest that someone who can't yet do cosmics upgrade their gear to 66/69?

Yes, because the 66/69 unique recipes were implemented for the exact purpose of serving as stepping stones into cosmics.

Cosmic terminals are now almost as hard as cosmic patrols were. Cosmic patrols are now harder than they used to be. It's not reasonable to go into those without some level of the upgrades.

Seems like Nova is the third hero to be getting an update soon. He has a new "Force" resource on TC right now and is receiving some other changes as well.

No word on Cosmic Combo snapback yet, though at least it's being treated as a movement effect now.

Yeah if you do:


You do 1MM+ Bruts every 2-3 seconds and put down enough constant fire that you're always hitting and proccing something. And I could probably throw better artifacts on there too.

Have you tried this with Anti-Metal ammo? that 2.3k crit damage and 2.3k brut damage rating is looking mighty appealing, but it doesn't have much in the way of +stats.

ok can safely say now this is just absurd

super dad here can absolutely wreck everything and when gaz inevitably stealth nerfs MM signet next patch, Dad won't care and he will continue to obliterate

Hyperstatic Inducer with the micro-tesla coils probably does more dps than half the roster with this setup, all by itself

medallion is Doom, stack as much power duration as you reasonably can because it affects how long you can channel Positron Emitter, which is quite literally the laser of the gods

I hadn't thought of that! I'm interested in trying it, but also, Peter Quill's Element Gun getting +6 Fighting is a stupid amount of raw stat.

Will report back after I get tired of this "cackling like an idiot and murdering everything and having almost pre-update levels of mobility" NC build.
