it sucks that there's no indication of how high that roll can be, since the alt-modifier just shows the percent chance to proc.

I never bothered to check on that before, but the top end on that is 1125 / 1125 / -9.8% at 63, scaling up to 1229 / 1229 / -9.8% at 69. That sucks too, every other roll on them is good to perfect.

They are tied to a % roll somewhere else. usually an innate stat like the damage resistance, which i think it is for the gloves so his roll is low due to the 31%.

Yeah, that seems correct. My Iron Spider BP has a 6% damage reduction roll, and so the defense proc is only 182 out of a possible 317.

Finally got my first GotK yesterday. After hundreds of Kurse kills. I primarily played prior to Achievement patch and just recently came back, so my Kurse counter on the achievement is only at 100, but I ran that crap constantly on Capt America a while back when he was top tier (might still be, don't know really, but he was crazy awesome back then).

Also leveled another 4 character to 60 for synergy and xp bonuses, bringing my 60s count to 11, only one (clops) is green prestige - don't see the reason to really do prestiging, I don't play that much that I want to sink that much time into a single character.

Rolled pretty well, 1 78%, 2 90% plus, and a 30% roll - don't recall right now which was the low one, think CHC. Happy enough with that, will use for sure on someone - probably my SW, think that's still a top notch arti for her.

Still haven't gotten the God of Mischief recipe, still never seen a Thor or Odin rune (think those are the only two I've never gotten), so those are some of the rare things I'm still hoping to get smiled on by the gods.

I'm not familiar with this event, is there any way to guarantee that I get a physical Demonblood for Spider-Man and a mental Sharabus Neotum for Magik before it ends? Was pretty disappointed just now when I logged in and opened the box on Spider-Man, got a Demonblood... and it's fucking energy. I guess I took "rewards for your current hero" too literally.

Do I just need to do Limbo over and over?


As for Omega, I had like 2900-something yesterday, and 4712 post-revamp. Not bad I guess.

I clicked on the box and got a normal spider man unique (slot 4)...really went wtf. should be something special at least.

Does the queue system work for limbo, or do you have to find pre-made groups? I only had a few moments to check it out just now, will play more later.

Went from 1950 Omegas to 3500ish. Liked that.

Your unique should have a challenge bonus. Kind of the booby prize regardless though, but I guess if you get one with +1 fighting it might be worth rerolling until it turns out well.

Queue system should work just like X-Def or Holo-sim. You can solo it too, but it's pretty challenging. I didn't have too much trouble on Spider-Man but I don't think any of my other heroes have the gear to both beat the dps check and survive the hits.

Got a mental Sharabus from my Spider-Man completion... maybe I can do it with Magik now and get a phys Demonblood. :p

Yes, demon bloods and sharabuseseses are random. You just have to grind the followup over and over and over to be sure of getting what you want. It's worth it anyway since mayhem coffers can give you ult upgrades.

Ah, I didn't realize the follow-up quest was repeatable each time you complete the Limbo mission.

Cosmic Hightown is either bugged or Gaz did a big oversight. Getting Hightown-specific artifacts like candy. 2 Flags, 1 energy crystal, 5 Godkiller (new Legendary), 2 Nick Fury T-Shirts in about 2.5hours.

I got a Nick Fury T-Shirt and a mid/high roll Skrull Medallion of Bravery (seems BIS for Spider-Man, probably a bunch of others as well) in about a half hour. Really happy with almost all the loot being stuff you actually want to pick up too. [Edit: Also, nearly every unique that drops has a challenge bonus.]

Of course it wouldn't be a Friday patch without the downsides--XP is total shit there. The "XP"-marked orbs are only like twice the xp of a cMM boss orb, and the bosses drop like 1/20th the amount. Good idea to get rid of the orbs filling the screen shit of cMM, but someone at Gaz sucks at teh maths. Some of the mobs are way overtuned too. The SHIELD imposters can 2-shot me and Skrull Avengers 1-2 shots me, and that's on Spider-Man with an 80 shield and 90k eHP.

BTW, if you had any Skrull Communication Devices rotting in your stash, they got buffed up (retroactively) to be one of the best mental artifacts. I'm glad I didn't toss mine, one of them is almost perfect.

Haven't had quite the amazing luck in there yet, but did score a White Suit Jacket, one Godkiller, and a Skrull Avengers Cosmic Medallion (I think that one).

Love the fact that the uniques are almost always challenge bonused, actually came across an upgrade from that. Also so many uniques so quickly, definitely building my stock of relics up, except the ones I need of course.

The short timer is great, 1 minute between waves gives the group enough time to wack kirigi and gorgon between waves. And yeah, those freaking shield agents are insane damage output. Them and the Avengers just own faces.

Any of you got Beta Ray Bill or Sunspot team-ups that I could steal powers from? Had to finally get Rogue while Limbo was on so I don't have to wait another 5 weeks to get the powers from there.

Edit: NM, got everything now except for Surtur.

It's somewhat annoying in that it drops the rune where you start, so if a boss moves you have to TP twice to put down a new one. I'm using the Sunspot Tank build now anyway, so the Limbo power I use is Demonic Barrier from N'astirh and I've just got Vanish for movement/dodge buff. I'm going to try the 'ranged' version of it before Limbo goes away; that one uses Teleportal. It's not really ranged though, since you still have to be right on top of the boss to apply vulnerability so it seems rather pointless to bother using Fangs instead of Sunspot Punch. Rogue in general is a lot more "busy" than Spider-Man, not sure I like that for the long run. It's also becoming a major pain in my ass to get her artifacts. I've got a 990-ish grenade and an 8% Brooch, but only being able to reroll the worldstone vendor once per 24(?) hours for a Doop Ectoplasm is infuriating. Highest I've seen is like 15%.

On the bright side, I just killed Batroc and he dropped a well-rolled pair of boots that already have +1 Fighting bonus.

I like using Teleportal as it encourages you to use a movement power to proc Midtown Ring. I always forgot to pop Vanish as it is somewhat unnatural to use during head-on fight.

I have a super high rolled range/melee DR ring, but I keep vanish going to maintain the dodge bonus.
