Conservation in the last tier is supposed to turn Photonic Blast into your ranged basic by removing the cost, although of course it's not working at the moment.

Even if Conservation reduced Photonic blast to 0 cost, which it doesn't currently, it doesn't Basic tag it, so half the affixes on Cosmic slot 1s don't work with it.

I agree, I can't fit Roll on Punisher without losing DPS, I can't put Teleport on Switch without losing a massive survival cooldown, and I had to basically spec a specific way on Blade to fit Roll on the board as well

There's no reason for even Sigs to not have their own keybind but :fax:

Having to trade off utility for dps is good design, in theory.

For those of you with 40+ in your primaries, are you getting these primarily from Infinity points, or am I missing something entirely, because my stuff is basically in the high teens and my DPS/survivability seem anemic in cosmics.

Hope you kept all your thunder belts and frost girdles and stupid poo poo you definitely didn't keep.

Balance is still..kind of weird

There's still nothing in the game to do except prestige, which requires doing the storyline from start to whenever you hit 60 (which with a few boosts is around chapter 3), but they also seem to be breaking at least one quest line a day which prevents you from continuing at some point. It was Taskmaster a few days ago, yesterday (did they fix this?) it was the actual prologue.

I prestiged this morning and had 0 issues. Get on my level.

Wilfred Wong pointed out that heroes that have Fighting or Energy have an uphill climb because they have to either sacrifice Crit / Brutal chance respectively to boost their main stats (particularly rough in the case of Rocket and Cable, who have Fighting and Energy as main stats).

Should have split Crit/Brut/CDmg/BDmg across 4 Attributes.

So am I wrong in assuming that I should just be doing quick story missions for craploads of XP, hitting 60 around act 3, then prestiging or moving onto the next character for now? It sounds like the top end content is still pending.

I ran story for prestiging tonight with 250% XP (190 synergy + 10 Pot of Gold + 50 Boost) and didn't ding 60 until I beat Sinister (fortunately Ch.7 is like 3 minutes long). Start to finish was 57 minutes (timed by buff duration). I don't see how people are getting it done close to Juggs without boosting to at least 300%+ or they are stopping to do side quests.

Is there any way at all that I can turn off all the extra exp bonus?
I like to grind Midtown, but the amount of exp has been huge for more than a year now in bonus given. I have no interest in using exp potions since I like to level up slow, but with all given through the game itself due to events, I am leveling up faster than I like. I even try to walk around most exp orbs, but that is not always a posibility.

Stop quoting the bad forums.

Runeword is Bowazon. Infinity points are all spent offensively. The health restore on Torch's sig talent just keeps him going along with all my health on hit.

Can you explain some more of this?

I don't understand Hot Temper (10% damage) over Melting Point (5% Damage, 10% Crit Damage, 15% movement speed), especially since Tornadoes auto-crit and you get a 20% crit chance buff from Sig).

Where are you getting your Life on Hit from? Just your core?

Here's what I'm wearing currently, and I tried your power/talent build in CMM and I'm pretty much getting two-shot by normal trash:

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.

If the TTK community can stop calling this test temporary until MH settles down and I'm still playing by then, I'll turn it into a detailed spreadsheet once again.

How much closer to middle of the pack would Taskmaster be at 2% per attribute instead of 1.5%?

McCloud posted:

The following pages are from Superman Shazam - First thunder, a miniseries in 4 issues. Billy Batson, an orphaned 8-year old, has been given granted the power to turn into the Superhero Captain Marvel, powers granted to him by an old powerful wizard. A Lex Luthor wannabe called Sivana figures out that the new hero in town is probably a kid, so he sends a black ops squad to kill him. They fail, but Batsons best friend, another 8-year old, gets shot, and later dies in a hospital. Billy loses his poo poo and trashes Sivanas office and almost kills the old man. Superman hears about how Marvel went berserk and goes off to confront him.

I love this scene. I love how Superman actually stops to listen to Marvel. I love how he doesn't even think twice about walking up to one of the most powerful Magical beings in the universe to chew him out for giving an 8-year old boy the burden that few people should ever have to carry.

I mean, HP/S is a weird stat because it is one of those "every point you stack is worth more than the last until you completely negate enemy dps", but it is only really applicable in situations where sustained damage is an issue. So basically it is just as useless as -10s off your ult because burst damage is the only thing that is dangerous if you are running cosmic stuff.

Putting 150 HP/s on par with the other Cosmic affixes shows a clear lack of understanding of game balance. That's not a great sign.
