Help, friends. What's the fun Iron Fist build? Everything I try ultimately feels less-fun than not playing Iron Fist but I am confident there has to be a way.

Iron Fist is brokenly overpowered right now, like ridiculously so. Part of that is that master of many styles is not resetting when you use stance combo powers so you can super charge your sig on any build, but the main reason is deliberate tempo gives you three abilities that hit harder than most characters sigs. For now take 3 3 3 3 1, eventually you'll have to dump master of many styles for the much shittier rolling thunder, but i doubt they'll bother nerfing him right before his netflix show drops. Fury of the five forces is your spender, tiger stance is the only stance you need, the rest of your abilities are the three that deliberate tempo buffs, sig, chi surge and dash. Both chi surge and sig reset all cooldowns so you basically hit bosses with about 10 2-3 million dmg abilities in a row.

Just a slight tweak, using the Follow Through talent instead of Eddies of Chi is probably better because double damage on most of your moves is going to be better than a weak aoe added to one of them. +100% damage on Five Hundred Fists is extremely good.

but they are going to nerf that talent into the ground, they will cut that 500% bonus to half or less

Or later, later's fine.
But now would be good.

The most Gaz way to handle it would be to put out a new skin in conjunction with the Netflix show, then in the same patch nerf or remove that talent + one of the others, + bugfix MoMW, For The Health Of The Game, but do no other tuning to his numbers.

Yeah, I'm just counting on them not wanting to nerf him right before the netflix show drops to milk this another month or two. He's not just ridiculously high in damage, he's also just fun to play. Melee abilities that jump you right to your target are so much better.

Peak Gaz would be all of this, then after two weeks of forum bitching add a small tuning numbers buff back on, but also include at least one other seemingly unrelated but vaguely spiteful nerf like "IF's travel maxes at 650." Meanwhile ignore the subsequent discovery of a more powerful, more obviously buggy, but less fun IF mechanic for at least a year.

On the game/steam reviews,

If you haven't played the game before, the recent updates are great. People bitching about the game fundamentals are vets who (1) dont like change or (2) don't understand that you now hold down the travel power key to get across the map instead of right click.

The game has issues with content development in that it doesn't do a good job of keeping vets to stick around. Like, why gaz decides to (1) spend its limited resources on a massive rework of visuals for story missions and (2) remove stacking xp boosts, which encouraged whaling and thus making money, are both beyond me.

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

If you legit believe these things, you're dumb. The thing here is that there were big changes before, even changes that nerfed everything and the reaction was never this bad and were quickly resolved. There was always some blowback to some changes, but the game has gone through several changes and the ratings were never bombed like this.

If there's one thing that's for sure, it's that the Biggest Update Ever shook the foundations of Groot Force's core. On the one side, we're got furry MAGAs suckling on Asros' teet, whipped into submission through a combination of cognitive dissonance and the sunk cost fallacy. On the other, we've got various shades of the autistic spectrum bemoaning the changes, retreating to the comfortable and poopy-pants shelter of PoE.

The answer to both of those is that Asros hates fun.

Not to defend Asros, but they were decent popcorn flicks and there's a fairly good chance he was a teenager at the time because those came out seventeen goddamned years ago.

Just realized that none of the AP3 heroes/teamups are on that, nobody cared about their new stuff :v:

Which makes it even weirder that Black Cat and Magik are on that thing, Deadpool and Wanda are obvious but those two they aren't exactly top tier marvel properties.

Those X-Men movies were the only good super hero movies since like Superman in the 70s, MCU was like a decade away and there was no spiderman or dark knight. Those movies basically started the super hero fad.

It implies that most of the purchases were coming from long-time players checking out the new hotness or finishing their collection, not new players picking up their favorites.

Red Letter Media pointed out that Blade actually came out before all that X-Men stuff, was a really big earner, and quite possibly triggered alot of 90s cool trends that influenced poo poo like The Matrix. It's been promptly forgotten about by alot of people. It's in a weird-rear end place.
