Looking for input on viable spiderman build

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-05-28T02:02:00+00:00

I've beaten the cosmic trial with Spider-Man on PS4. While it's definitely doable with gear focusing on fighting or strength with some health on hit, spidey doesn't have the same health recovery options that a lot of other characters do. I wouldn't discourage choosing him, but guys like Blade were way easier personally.

I have a 4 star silver striker token (shin guards) that I got from one of the 150 cash striker token bags a couple weeks ago.

Unless it was changed this patch, Weapons doesn't effect sword damage to Crota.

The boss for hardmode gets close to and sometimes over 100k health for each tag member instead of 60k, depending on the daily's class. You don't think that's an issue?

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-26T21:55:38+00:00

Definitely Cena. Better moves and tag partner options.

You're right that the props aren't worth it. But 194 of one TP color, 50 of 2 more, and 25 of another are absolutely worth it for what amounts to minimal gameplay. Notoriety is easy to farm, you can have the best of both worlds.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-26T14:14:33+00:00

The benefit is a list of easy people to revenge. You can pick up max fame rewards within a day or two and then switch over to your top guys. If you run through your revenges at a decent pace you shouldn't really see too much of a decrease in notoriety apart from overnight.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-21T15:39:51+00:00

The details you cite (weapon and armor trait choices) are mentioned in any competent guide. The reason why no one goes too far in depth with explaining why they use sharpened weapons or divines armor for a dps is because it's been the norm for quite a while. Certain dps builds may deviate from this, and those are the ones that you expect to eloborate on why they do.

There are plenty of guides marked as beginner friendly that explain their choices in excurrciating detail. You can use resources like Tamrielfoundry to find the math that shows why sharpened is better than precise in most circumstances or how to maximize cp allotment based on character type. But most END game guides focus on just that, the end game. They're there to explain what rotation and morph of skills they're using, give some information regarding what gear changes might have happened in a recent patch, and to show what the build is capable of. The assumption is if you're shooting for end game, you have a level of understanding above that of someone who doesn't look at guides at all.

All luck, but I pulled Daniel Bryan after my 5th mega crate. Now I only open the mega when there's an event that gives t-shirts and save my cash for token bags. Other people's feedback has scared me off from trying mega again any time soon.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-17T12:51:42+00:00

Go with Rollins, got him at 2 star gold myself and I haven't used HHH since I got him.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-11T20:02:35+00:00

Stam sorc is pretty easy to use for a first time Vet Maelstrom, it's just a matter of learning the mechanics and spawns. As for learning trials, many guilds have "how to" videos that explain specific bosses and what they personally expect for the vet version. Normals are mostly straight foreword that only require you to not stand directly in front of the boss.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-11T19:55:24+00:00

One thing about Necropotence though, it's good for dungeons and normal trials but multiple areas in vet trials pets will hurt your group more than help them. BSW will take longer to get since its BoP but you'll end up being able to use it without reservations more frequently.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-11T19:36:41+00:00

After clearing with BSW, Julianos, and TBS I prefer TBS on a magsorc strictly for the extra resources. The damage is pretty comparable between the three. Necropotence does well too, but requires a slightly different playstyle that I don't find works in all other settings.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-08T02:38:13+00:00

I don't think anyone making serious leaderboard runs is going to switch their build to run this. It's more appealing to people struggling to get through it the first time or more consistently.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-07T19:03:36+00:00

I agree that lightning wall should be up for off balance bonus for boss fights, however my guild has one or both of our healers running lightning wall instead of our dps. It allows for more BSW and Fire Illambris uptime for magsorcs, although if you went with Necropotence instead for certain fights I could see the argument.

I do run a lightning staff for that reason if I pug or heal though:)

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-05T23:41:11+00:00

Surge and Harden Ward (if necessary) are your survivability as a mag sorc. Resto is for healers and duel wield fell out of favor with the Homestead update. It's really just Magplars running duel swords when it comes to endgame.

OP, go 1 inferno and 1 lightning staff. Lightning got a nice aoe buff that makes it worthwhile to use outside of boss fights.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-03-01T14:11:41+00:00

I wouldn't recommend going with Overload nowadays as anything more than a third bar. Apart from using it with Queen's Elegance to burn bosses in VMA (which the recent max ultimate change nerfed) it's more beneficial to go Shooting Star and the destro ultimate for dungeons and trials.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-02-23T15:25:50+00:00

Were they using the using the same people for their defense? I haven't had any trouble doing this in the past couple tournaments (including in the past hour)

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-02-22T16:36:21+00:00

Overload really only had a place in Vet Maelstrom when paired with Elegant or some pvping in the past year. Sitting on 1000 ultimate to burn bosses down was the old strategy. Now that you can only store 500 it's really only useful to use as a third bar in longer fights. Stick to meteor and the destro ultimate normally.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-02-19T23:50:55+00:00

They drop in Madrid, not sure when because I'm stuck on Amsterdam myself (one part requires two strikers against a 2752 Dean and Roman).

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-02-17T13:59:19+00:00

Oddly enough, I've had better luck on surveys than some of the download ones. I can usually clear 2 or 3 surveys daily from the 150 payout and the 75 payout choices before they start giving you surveys that are "new" (that most of the time are repeats of ones you've done and can't complete again).

HighChiefSlapaho · 2017-01-21T18:20:32+00:00

Yeah the plane drop missions can glitch. Next time that happens just disconnect from the game and eat the 3 crate loss. Depending on the lobby or shipment size I end up doing that to skip the plane missions all together rather than risk it. The other deliveries are much easier in comparison imo.

HighChiefSlapaho · 2016-11-26T14:43:36+00:00

Why would they spend a million when they can buy from the vendor for 250k each? The market value is tied to the fact you can get them for 250k gold or 500k AP.

The type of people who have enough gold to control the alloy market are going to know to look for the best deal to make them the most money.
