The thing that kept me from coming back after a while was that every time I logged in after a short break, the loving gear system changed too much to catch up with. Is that going to be a problem now?

Just wait until the omega gear system is in. Then you can be on the same level as everyone as we all get new gear

Also tried out melee Vision. It's hard to find a good balance with him. He's simpler to play now but also suffers from needing 2 more hotkeys. His damage output is better than ever but he's farrrr squishier now that there's no bar space for healing nanites or his invisibility.

Vision really hurts from lack of hotkeys :(

The following heroes Offensive Traits will been changed to what is listed below:

Black Panther - Fighting / Intelligence
Cable - Fighting / Energy
Jean Grey - Energy / Intelligence
Juggernaut - Durability / Strength
Kitty - Fighting / Intelligence
Psylocke - Fighting / Intelligence
Rocket - Fighting / Energy

I've got 400+ splinters. Gimme some guidance:

Could get Angela, Blade, Cyclops, Emma, Goblin, Iceman, Iron Fist, Kitty Pryde, Magik, Magneto, War Machine.

I eliminated some other eligible ones because I didn't want speed/energy, strength/durability, or speed/fighting competing for gear with my other guys and stuff. I hate pet classes, enjoy classes that have neat builds that have powers that interact back and forth with each other, and I have no real preferences about ranged vs. melee vs. hybrid.

War Machine or Iron Fist. Maybe goblin too.

First one, then t'other.

Specifically, I went in with an untested all-Ranged build by accident, which seemed to be doing fine until I suddenly realized there was a time limit and I'd passed it. :(
Then I switched back to my Melee set-up, and got owned by Madame Cobra (~90% of the time), swarms of goons (5%), or ran out time again (5%) over the course of about 20 attempts. I've tried mixing and matching a lot of feats and powers, but I'm hoping someone has suggestions for something I might be missing.

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.

Angela's time came down 10s since I made this, dropping the mean (red circle) a bit. Taskmaster is the outlier circle. He's not even close to the pack.

So, obviously, gaz is hitting a Mr. F power that won't cripple his build, and doing nothing for the taxman.

Well, when he was first released he was Real Good, then he dropped off as every character he was based on got a rework or update of some sort and he didn't (but he was TOTALLY going to get updated once everyone was done, guys!), and now that the dev cycle playing field was leveled I think they just are really, really bad at math. And not even the scaling thing, you can get some Stupid high numbers on his "1.5% from everything" scaling if you have all the gear for it.

Also there's the conspiracy theory that as the only post-launch 200 splinter character he is either inherently weaker than other characters or gets less attention from the development team because it's a lower return on the man hour investment.

His skills just seem way undertuned. He would still be poo poo tier dps even if didn't have the 1.5% dmg per attribute.

Use War Machine as a passive. Hawkeye passive as well since you are all ranged. Venom is also good if you are solo since no one else will provide that buff.

Get a catalyst with spirit restore on medkit. Then use a real spender instead of ricochet blast if you can sustain it.

Your artifacts are bad. Get some that have fighting or durability. Or at least energy / mental damage(but not essence of dread since the Int is wasted on you).
Get a zola from Mandarin since you have spirit issues. Maybe also a white suit jacket from Kingpin.

If you have Surtur's power, use that. Lavalanche sucks. Get the 2 dots from Cable and Storm. Cable in particular hits harder than Clea without having a cooldown.
Blood and Thunder seems a bit wasted since you aren't using melee. Use the Thor power since it's a spirit restore.
Your talent spec is fine.

Get the Pirate Deadpool team up by doing the secret achievements. Level him to 60. Set him on active and let him stun everything.

I really don't understand the whole spirit = armor mechanic they added to iceman (previously on psylocke and emma), it does absolutely nothing. Even gearing for spirit, which would be absolutely dumb since it does nothing else, it's completely gone in one hit. It needs to multiply all spirit by 10 to even be noticeable and even then it would still be poo poo. A 900 dmg shield in cosmic anything is utterly pointless.

Since I've never done this Strange event before, let me make sure I've got the right of it:
  • Kill the Mads Man on Red and Cosmic every day for lootsplosions
  • Farm up Sling Rings for every single-typed hero
  • Get a poo poo ton of +3 Books of Demonicus as filler for everyone I haven't geared out.
  • Get Cosmic +3 Books for anyone who actually uses basics as a primary filler (who do these drop off?)
  • Do all the MM cheevos

Then, what? Farm Limbo? Farm the titans that spawn every 2 minutes in CMM?

Ya that's about it. You can farm limbo if you need bloodstone bands. They are needed to make the hidden cheevo flourish.

Regarding Taskmaster, he gets more out of the +1 to All Attributes on the Mastery nodes, and is likely to want to cap every node before reaching into Attributes. That's quite some time away for any Taskmaster player (even if the 1,661 player is a Tasky main). We may need to revisit it at a later time, but he has plenty of Infinity options to browse for a long time to come - no immediate action is necessary to ship these changes, but there may be later.

Taskmaster is fine you guys

e:
taskmaster: +6 to all stats = 54% damage

best green/blue/purp bonuses haven't changed really

best yellow affix imo is one of either:

+2 ults, if their sig is a decent chunk of their damage since this counts towards the synergy bonus

On crit gain 6% pet dmg and 15% power radius for 12s (15s cd), because power radius is always very useful and this basically has 100% uptime

don't fall into the 4% dr trap that the rest of the affixes grant, there's tons of dr on items and an infinite amount of it in infinity nodes, it's a waste to roll such a tiny amount of dr in that slot

Nick Fury is an ammo-based character who needs a tier 5 talent to have any kind of ammo replenishment outside of his natural one, and it's tied to his 30s sig. You cannot use any ammo abilities while his ammo replenishes. Ammo replenishes at the fixed rate of 15% per second once it is emptied.

Yea I have no idea how that made it past the design process. Obviously Punisher has rapid reload, Rocket has his reload on an 8 second cooldown and Blade has a ton of melee / cooldown abilities he can use while his ammo reloads(or take the talent that makes your sig refill ammo).

Fury gets to sit there doing nothing or lol slot a basic to use. :gaz:

e: guess they listened to basically every post in the feedback thread

Upcoming Changes so far:

Lola on Loan now has a short animation and is targetable in any direction around Nick Fury.

Nick Fury now has a reload, "Fresh Clips." This allows him to actively reload and has a shorter cooldown if used below 25% ammo.

Auto-reload removed from talent Blitz.

Tumble speed increased significantly.

Fixed bug where you could repeatedly call in Redwing by button mashing.
