I was banking on omega items launching alongside this! Whole drat game is gonna change when those come. Gonna have to replace items again when that happens.

That's kinda what I'm eyeballing as my timetable. Just pretend I'm injured or something.

So my old MO with the game was to just level characters and barely play endgame poo poo.

Is it even worth touching story mode anymore?

Same, and it still works. It's just... you know how you used to run out of spirit, and then you couldn't dash to the next story quest? That happens now at full spirit as well, enjoy.

I've gotten like ten characters to 60 since the patch just blitzing story mode. It's super easy, just travel power to the next instance/boss, win, repeat.

What else/all are you running on him? I got him in my last random box but just 60'ed a day or two ago and haven't really messed around.

Like I said, that was just with old gear from before the recent patch rigged for summoning. If you gave him a bunch of stuff like the other brutal builds posted recently (shades, nullifier, etc.) he'd be a real monster. I'm not an Ultron specialist but it seems pretty straightforward: anything with +BDR/BR, Energy/Durability, damage types. Spirit's not an issue, he works like Vision in that regard.

Wouldn't that be a compliment? Chocolate's pretty good imo.

Also I hope everyone only uses Jubilee with Wolverine because it's cartoon canon(maybe comics I never read them). Also davebo will you be making sure all 3 of your wolverines have Jubilee?

No because that would require logging in on my alts and sorting through all the garbage created by the update. At this point I'm gonna leave them both unlogged for long enough to guarantee I get those 95% G discounts when I do log in, and then not bother using them like last time. Unless, can I just buy a ton of G's then gift stuff to other accounts? I dunno, it's just such a pain playing melee characters with travel being what it is.

Jubilee sucked even before she was a vampire though, and I'll only be using her as a team-up when I'm in a lore-appropriate Wolvie costume.

I'm always disappointed when mutant powers don't sound like they did in the 90s series, they had really bombastic distinctive SFX work there.

Why would davebo use jubilee when wolverine himself is a team up

PureRok

Good as new.
Why isn't Jubilee playable so I can run around as her with Ms. Marvel team-up?

Also, JubileEE

Edit:
If she ever becomes playable this costume should be available. Thanks.

I used to but sometimes I mix it up. I just make sure to use holo-sim Wolverine teamup on every other hero in the game, so that my screen is never without a Wolverine.

You can
1. Do a Stupid Build, where you build all the call-in powers, the talent that makes Overwatch reset your call-in CDs, and the talent that reduces Visor Off's CD by a few seconds every time you use a call-in power. Open with Visor-Off, mash your call-ins, Overwatch, call-ins again (problem with this, see below), single-target lovely beam of choice until Visor Off or call-ins are up, repeat.
2. Do an Effective But Straightforward build, where you build him like pre-rework (both the beams on lmb/rmb, explosive blast, optic devastation, Beast call-in, overwatch, Visor Off) and play "did they break beamweaving this week", and take the capstone talent where your Visor Off lasts longer and makes you invulnerable
3. Do a Probably Better Paper DPS But Feels Like poo poo build, where you do #2 but take the Emma talent and sub her in for Beast. This means your Visor Off feels much worse but in return you proc all 3 damage types

Not helping any of this is the fact that there's some cooldown skills that overwatch just doesn't reset, like his Angel call-in with the incorrect name + description, and that he has the classic Cyclops problems of "either 1 too many single-target powers or 1 too many aoe powers, also you have a skill that does a DoT increased by attack speed, + a power that does scaling damage for how long you use it, which is a regular damage-and-attack-speed power so you have to calculate idiot poo poo out or look up a guide that someone else did."

In short, and I say this as someone who prestiged the dumb idiot a couple times, if you want to play an X-Man just play Nightcrawler and if you want to play a ranged laser guy play Iron Man. Cyclops: For if you want to fall asleep at the keyboard.

Out of curiosity does anyone have a count of how many heroes the gorilla necklace is BiS for now? The game had so many phys heroes it was such a useful artifact, but now it seems it's for +strength people only which is like 5 dudes?
