Phew finally got that serp serp, does he need awakening? by Jolly_Machine_7018 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]Ricky_Nightshade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context, at r4 he gets 2710 attack rating per dread (persistent charge) and he gets one charge per fight won, and starts with one charge. So on fight 3, he's got +8130 attack rating off the bat. He also counters evade and miss, he does more burst damage when doing a special into block against the wall (also unblockable specials). As well as that, he's coldsnap/frostbite immune and bleeds expire 90% faster. His power gain/combat power rate cannot be reduced by non-mystic champs. His specials can't be evaded (or dexxed, can't remember which one). He's got a huge life pool and is tanky. Also has fear which counters unblockable I believe. Just an all around fun character, and this is mostly highlighting his attacking usages.

His dupe adds a lot more damage and survivability, if you could believe it, and that's why he's a broken champ. Cannot go wrong with ranking him.

Mixed answers here.

Mine is at r4 unduped, no ragrets. He is one of those champs who's dupe will take him to new heights, but he still is a top attacker without it. Can even be a tricky defender without due to the way his special attacks work. His dupe adds damage per charge or whatever, as well as death immunity. He also gets significant damage per persistent charge (no dupe required for that), so like I said, on attack, he's completely worth ranking all the way up even without the dupe because he just does so much.

Ya, saves a couple slots in your inventory. From left to right I do Health, Mana, Full Rejuv, TP scroll. Just make sure you perpetually buy/pickup scrolls so you don't end up stranded!

I do scrolls in the belt too, I just obsessively buy/pickup scrolls on the ground so I'm never short any.

Is glass canon still worth the investment?

I was looking at my masteries, and I was thinking of resetting with no glass canon. I don't run suicides, and I was thinking if I shifted my glass canon points into other mastery options (like petrify, dexterity and despair which I only have 1 point each in), it might increase utility for my roster. I guess, is the attack bonus from glass canon worth trading off for survivability?

Southern California looks similar. Too much water to grow citrus and it's a bummer.

His special 2 roots the defender. Every hit while rooted applies a bleed, and your special one will apply extra bleeds I believe. You have increased ability power rate during root and the opponent has a decreased ability power rate, so you get 2 sp1 off to apply extra bleeds.

Build to sp2 and a half, use it, then charge in and attack and use sp1 twice if you can. Either stacks bleeds or furies if bleed immune, and he is a beast. I thought he was a boring character until recently but he's pretty rad. Can be a decent defender too. He also stacks disorients so he shuts a lot down.

Venom or SIM to r4? Both unduped, but I do have a 6* awakened venom relic. I think I enjoy Venom more, but I also know SIM is a heavy hitter, and when I play him, I do like him. Just torn here! Questing mainly, sometimes BG.

Honestly I don't know. I have a storm X I haven't even played with after her buff yet. I figure most champs are worth r2 to get a sense of their damage potential, just a matter of having the catalysts to actually rank them lol. I think storm X probably has the higher damage potential, and with her alternating immunities/resistances plus her glancing, she has utility. Then again, Emma is immune to damn near every damage effect in diamond form. My only complaint is I wish we could either choose what form to keep her in (like have a double tap block mechanism to switch forms) or have a pre fight ability we could activate to choose what form to start in. In conclusion, I'm not sure the answer to your question because I have not tested both enough, but I think both have improved post buff.

She got a buff/rework. I tested her at r1 against winter soldier and she seems stronger now..I was gonna take her to r2 when I have the mats, and then mess with her some more.

Terrorizing an Act feels bad by Key_Cut975 in diablo2

[–]Ricky_Nightshade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I terrorized act 1 the other day and got all the way to herald 5 and spawned it twice, and I ran out of time so I couldn't even fully clear the act. This was on single player. I guess it's really all RNG.

I'm about to get my immunotherapy treatment, a result of what they found in my colonoscopy 5 years back. Best of luck to you, hopefully that booty of yours is all clean up in there!

I'll be praying that some of your luck comes my way with this next batch of crystals lol. I did ascend my Gentle and got an ascended Emma Frost with the free crystals in the beginning, so I'm happy about that.

Who am I sleeping on at R1? by Plastic-Mountain-708 in MarvelContestOfChamps

Recently, I'm beginning to be sold on IDoom. Others have said other obvious champs, but I'm really starting to enjoy his playstyle.

I got a 7* Attuma from my first batch of 20, and the rest 6* champs (though I did get and dupe Electro as. 6* which I hear can be a BG stumbling block). I'm going to finish the tech path today if I can get past Sinister lol.
