ok can safely say now this is just absurd

super dad here can absolutely wreck everything and when gaz inevitably stealth nerfs MM signet next patch, Dad won't care and he will continue to obliterate

Hyperstatic Inducer with the micro-tesla coils probably does more dps than half the roster with this setup, all by itself

medallion is Doom, stack as much power duration as you reasonably can because it affects how long you can channel Positron Emitter, which is quite literally the laser of the gods

Add Ultron to the list of brutal motherfuckers this patch, I was loving around with him with just his pre-update summoner gear and was still hitting half-mil bruts in cosmic training room with Operation Smash, his 8-sec crashdown that autobruts and can be traited to run on 2 charges and double damage. Several of his other powers are or can be traited for autocrits, or you can just spawn a gang of flamethrower and laser sword wielding robo-maniacs to take care of any distractions while you're stomping holes in the CMM mobs like some tiny, carefree kaiju.

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.

Also I hope everyone only uses Jubilee with Wolverine because it's cartoon canon(maybe comics I never read them).

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.

I played the original launch and got pretty tired of it almost immediately, so I'll give the new hotness a shot for giggles. However, I'm a huge nerd that likes guns and stuff, so I want to aim for characters that use them (possibly in excess). I'll be picking up Punisher as my starting character because that seems par for course, but what other heroes use guns? How shooty are Deadpool and War Machine?

Very, Deadpool is all about guns, swords and baysplosions and War Machine is Iron Man with bullets instead of lasers. There's also Blade, Rocket Raccoon (scifi rayguns kablammo), Black Widow, Winter Soldier, Cable (more scifi), Star-Lord (PEW PEW) and Taskmaster (semi-shooty, you can use talents to kinda Matrix him up). Iron Man can also be talented to fire nothing but rockets, rockets and more rockets with occasional bonus rockets, which are like guns but they go boom instead of splat at the end!

Welcome to at least half the visual updates! I bet if you posted them in the awesome/awful mods thread untagged most people would take them for lovely mods instead of official releases.

It's one of the early costumes so all of its textures are as flat as possible and the fang decorations just hover in position.

Yeah, and I don't really blame them for taking a little license considering how difficult it must be to design a character with no voice that doesn't need to gesture to use his powers for an action rpg.

Black Bolt should've been a 2000-day login reward or something. His normal powers would be signature level, his sig would hit like and ult and his ult would straight crash the instance.

This has always been their balance philosophy, despite this being a non-competitive, effectively-single-player game.

Yeah, what even is the concept of "balance" in this context? What does it matter how characters perform relative to each other as long as they all meet or exceed a threshold of effectiveness and engaging gameplay in their own roles?

Hey now, Beast hasn't even received this much attention as far as I can tell, and he's not all that much better than Boltablack Agaragon.

At least Beast has the incredible gadgets build where you can rain down an endless stream of devices that explode for AOE bonus damage and debuffs (and I think gain cooldown reduction on his sig, I haven't checked him since his launch) while making the spirit bar your bitch.

If you try to downvote a build, it now opens a text input area, and asks you why you want to downvote. Not sure if that's specific to BingBuilds, or all builds.

AzraelNewtype posted:

Honestly, when he does, if he doesn't just end things instantly with his voice, he has been more likely to punch things than stand there and shoot beams for ages too. His melee build is hilarious now since almost every melee cooldown is movement tagged, so the movement reset cosmic affix rolls on every power and resets every power. It's pretty okay.

Which affix does that show up on, cosmic items?

After the summon nerf I think Hydra is the only one with stuff that's worth getting, and even those aren't must-haves for anyone.

Now that Story XP is fixed I got Nick Fury to 60 and he feels like a thought experiment in "what if we gave a ranged character smaller AoEs than Wolverine" holy poo poo.

Also an experiment in "how many powers can we straight lift from other characters and stitch together like Frankenstein's Monster?" His entire lefthand tree is made of recycled assets, animations and all, and nearly all the rest are just reskins. Guy's got more stolen powers than Rogue.
