I fully support this game. Goons have the best ideas for heroes, and they'll answer any question you've got. I don't play too often but it's refreshing when I do, none of this raid schedule "be here at X time" type of things, or bust your rear end for gear. Plus the city is fun to swing around in.

This game really is the best for "gently caress around all day" and the CCs are the best to crash with crazy characters. I think I showed up to one two weeks ago as a ned flanders hulk character named Hulkily Dokily.

Reason #326 not to group with pubbies:

I ran Therakiel's Temple on Elite all the way to the final boss with a pubbie group. After our 4th failed attempt to kill the fucker, I tell my tank "Dude, you need to keep aggro or we're going to get cleaved to death."



His (serious) response? "What's aggro?"

On a related sort of note: both Supernatual slotted passives suck. Okay, okay, Regeneration isn't too bad, but it teaches some bad habits in terms of soloing and leaves you surprisingly vulnerable in the late game to heavy-hitting cosmics or swarms of enemies that can damage you faster than you can heal, even if you can bolster this through other powers that boost dodge/damage resistance. Pestilence on the other hand is absolutely worthless and you should never take it even unless I've missed yet another twinky use for something. In general you're far better off with Defiance or Unstoppable or something that boosts physical damage for Bestial, and Firey Form or Ice Form for Infernal (as they boost Toxic damage).

I can't figure out why, but i've seen quite a few Pestilence users in lowbie pvp (11-20). Maybe down there it rocks. I dunno. I've been pvping with a str/con might guy down there with Invulnerability, Bio shielding, and unbreakable, so i don't even notice the passive damage. Perhaps its good for.... yeah i dunno. can't figure that one out.

I ran The Gremlin with Pestilence as his passive, and it worked out well. It tacks on DoT to anything that gets close and DoT to anything you hit with a ranged attack, so for someone whose bread-and-butter is the Venomous Breath / Supernatural Power synergy, that plus Pestilence plus Avenger role jacks up DPS enough to chew through PvE very effectively.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it optimal -- you're glass-cannoning if you use it, plus I never play PvP -- but it can be fun to use.

That i understand. It's the use in PvP where those who are near you are most certainly melee who have some ridiculous defensive passive (LR, Invuln, Definace) and some ridiculous active defense (like unbreakable, masterful dodge, etc) where that dot really wouldn't even be felt that confuses me.

Look into Palliate for a heal. r3 has +41% health return and temporarily increases presence (which means more threat).


Also, look at Circle of Primal Dominion. It's a nice tank aid.

Despite using two different slots, you cannot use chest beam with any of the hand slot powers, as chest beam is a charge power.

This is not true. I use Concussion Beams while charging Chest Beam pretty much whenever I use Concussion Beams (which is almost always). I actually don't use Micro Munitions. It's a solid power, I just don't have much use for it. My rotation generally consists of building up to a full energy bar, charging Orbital Canon, build it back up to full, Concussion Beams w/ Charging Chest Beam. Generally a full blast chest beam hits right after the orbital canon does, giving a nice chunk of spike damage.

Saw these guys hanging around the tailor.

Their supergroup is called "The Marvel Ultimate Alliance"

The Iron Man is called Stony Tark, the Luke Cage is Luke C., the Spider-Man is Spidey-Man and the Deadpool is The Undercover Hero. He's also the black armored guy in the Iron Man picture. Not sure who that's supposed to be.

They're all pretty bad, but there's something to be said for the organization.







those are all awful. Cage is semi-close, but how hard is it to gently caress up a t-shirt and pants? I'll post my War Machine later on. It's probably the best Iron Man suit you'll see in-game. I don't get how some people make ripoffs and then screw them up so badly at the same time. I've made Thor, Venom, Iron Man, War Machine, and Deathstroke before and they're all spot-on. I saw a hulk the other day in long tights. with spiked hair. and a smile on his face.



If you're going to have no imagination, at least do the ripoff some justice.

Does it give alot more xp or something? Vi Ora and lemura suck and I'm at 39.

do all of resistance up to the second to last part where you have to drive a Mega Destroid (do all this on normal difficulty the first time). When you drive the MD, you have to destroy 6 dimensional anchors and fight 1 shadow colossus after each one.

What you do is, destroy all the anchors but the last one. Each colossus you kill nets ridiculous xp. Destroy an anchor, kill a colossus, rinse and repeat. DO NOT DESTROY THE LAST ANCHOR. When you get to the last one, log out for 5 minutes (no less than 5). When you log back in after 5 minutes, your toon will be outside of the Harmon Building. Change the difficulty to Elite (for more xp) and re-enter. It'll spawn you at the start of the Mega Destroid stage.



Repeat the Mega Destroid driving stage repeatedly like this. I think at lvl 32 on Elite, each colossus was netting me 45k xp. Multiply that by the 5 you need to fight. Each run takes about 20 minutes. That's 225k xp in 20 minutes. Take 5, repeat it again. That's over 500k xp in an hour in the 30+ level range.

I used to really like this game. Now it seems that it has been relegated to my boredom bin.
