hawkeye changes schmawkeye changes

Hawkeye Build for Doing Things Besides Murdering Dummies

Three Arrow Burst: 20
Rocket Arrow: 20
Speed Loader Volley: 20
World's Greatest Archer: 20

Combat Training: 20
Flash Bomb: 1

Taser Arrow: 1
Explosive Arrow: 1
Nerve Gas Arrow: 20
Starktech Claymore Turret: 20
Freeze Arrow: 17 (i think? point dump this)
Starktech Medical Arrow: 1

When it comes down to it, you really have one major choice on Hawkeye: which Archery c/d powers do you take? Speedloader does good damage and has an extremely high chance to proc Trick Arrows, Rocket Arrow does really good damage but fucks with your target lock and has weird issues with firing, Boomerang Arrow does less damage but fires almost instantly. Rocket Arrow is by far the best choice. It now charges much faster and does an insane chunk of damage.

You could take all three, but then you'd have to drop either Freeze Arrow or Combat Training. And considering Hawkeye's still on the low end when it comes to damage mitigation? I'd say you still want to max both out. Explosive Arrow and Taser Arrow are both worth one point because they're really good procs with the Trick Quiver mechanic. You don't have to slot either of them, just fire your cooldowns and 3AB and watch the explosions roll in. NGA is a good DoT layer, and with Trick Quiver you generally never have to cast it manually. Freeze Arrow is your main AoE, and a good opener on terminal bosses. If you're in a raid or fighting someone tough (Ultron), throw down a Medical Arrow on the melee dudes. They'll either love you for it or try to dodge it thinking it's an AoE.

Flash Bomb is a great damage boost, but it's only worth one point. The cooldown and duration are the only things that scale, and you're going to get enough points from gear to make that a bad investment. Pop it whenever it's off cooldown, but try to make sure it's up right before you use you're big cooldown powers.

Flash bomb, sig, hit your cooldowns (fully charge Rocket Arrow ofc), fill with 3AB. Lather, wash, rinse, repeat. Pretty simple, but your boss is going to be exploding into green smoke and electricity all the drat time.

When it comes to gear, you can use basically all of his uniques except the Ronin Boots. High level gearing is going to differ, obviously, but Trickshot's Bow is a good filler unique until you get something better. For artifacts you need need need a Ziggurat of Kargul! Hawkeye is still extremely immobile, and having that teleport is very helpful! A Lizard Forumla really helps with the Attack Speed and the life leech, but if you don't want to waste your trade bait on Hawkeye you can use a Taskmaster Guide or a HoD.

Slot 1: Fragment of Twilight
Slot 2: Reserve Quiver
Slot 3: Hulkbuster Arrows
Slot 4: Nisanti Boots/Batroc Boots (I like Nisanti on him a lot more)
Slot 5: Hawkguy Shades, maybe summer shades if you're retarded?
Uru: Power Doop
Pet: 3 Fighting, +2 Ranged Skills
Artifact: Gem of the Kursed
Artifact: Ziggurat of Kargul
Artifact: Gorilla Necklace (ofc)
Artifact: Lizard Formula, HoD, Taskmaster Guide, AMSA
Medallion: Grim Reaper, Red Skull
Legendary: Gungir, Ultimate Nullifier, SUPER Axe of Ares

Omegas? I don't loving know. Take the standard good ones, Focused Strength of Grom, Focused Plasma Cannon, w/e.

With as tight as HE is for points I can't see flashbomb being worth 20 pointing in any scenario.

This is basically the issue. Hawkeye has too many good powers now and I just can't justify max'ing Flash Bomb for anything other than Sick Dummy TTKs.

I've been procrastinating hardcore by reading up on some Marvel origin stories, and I gotta say, I'm really looking forward to Dr. Doom. I didn't realize he was such a philanthropist (in his own dictatorial way).

In the Avengers comics Dr. Doom just pulled off an insane gambit that will probably end up saving the multiverse. He killed a bunch of Molecule Men, then made a religion about killing Molecule Men. It's probably the coolest part of Hickman's Avengers. The only part I really like at least.

So I haven't played this game in at least a year and I was wondering if I could get a few words about what end game consisted of now?

Cosmic terminals, Raids, One-Shots (longer terminals with multiple bosses), and as of a week ago, Age of Ultron which is between a one-shot and a raid in length and difficulty. Occasionally people run Bovineheim to get large numbers of hero specific uniques.

quote:

Also the only character I have to play that wasn't already at least somewhat leveled up is the Human Torch, is he any good right now? I'll have enough eternity shards to buy a hero (or a few random heroes more likely) soon but I really just wanted to play somebody I hadn't tried before. Coming back to a half finished character and tryign to remember how they work was too much effort.

Nope. Torch is kind of bad right now. If you want some good heroes Venom, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Hulk and Punisher are all in really good spots right now. Most characters range from okay to good, though so you're mostly safe random boxing. Just try and avoid Taskmaster.

don't know who has poo poo uniques and who doesn't, don't know which any hero uniques are worth keeping,

To my knowledge, very few heroes have a bad line-up of uniques anymore. Moon Knight is the only one I'm super sure of, but anyone who hasn't been reworked in the past year probably won't be wearing more than two hero specific uniques at higher sperg levels.

OTOH most characters are in a good enough place where you can wear all of their uniques and get by in green Muspelheim, even Moon Knight.

For any hero uniques, keep anything that's a boss specific drop. Beyond that maybe hold on to Darkholds, Dragonfangs and Nate Greys.
