The gear hunt is real...

[765]

The more I learn about the combat mechanics, stats and perks, the more ideas for strong or fun builds I get.
The gear system actually seems deep, but it takes a while to realize that.

builds wont relly be noticeable and strong until more exotic items show up

when I get a cool status effect on my gear, it is noticeable and it is cool. However, I have been using random gear and I beat the missions just fine.

There are fun builds you can do rn, but the game doesn't really motivate me to try them.

pym particle/anti-gravity = faster clear I guess.

It's so deep that they haven't implemented a button to save builds :P Also my experience is exactly the opposite. In higher possibilities not many builds work and I wonder even if there are many different builds? On youtube everyone is sharing the same builds, it seems there is no variety

I literally have an ironman build around plasma repulsors and damage boosts. Combined with the terrigon artifact, it works nicely and burns everything. All matters how you want to play. Some people want to nuke the world, some people want to make things fly away with repulsor shots.

You can build around taking dmg, ranged, melee, light finishers, heavy finishers, power attacks, signature attacks, certain weapons (like for iron man you can build around lasers, around rockets, around repulsors or a mix), aerial combat, heroics in general or certain heroics, crits, debuffs CC......

Have you people even looked at items or just seen 1?

Most of what you said doesn't work or it's extremely boring and yes I've tried different builds. You get no items that have big impact on gameplay and that alone will make the game dull since you use the same old abilities that you used since you started the game. It's no wonder that if you look for builds online you get the same from everyone. It's not even the meta, the loot is just shallow for a looter. Have you tried for example a rocket ironman? I have and while it works, it's extremely boring like most of the ''builds'' you mentioned. I have a thor with 11k heroic rating and while it works for the most part, it just feels tedious at times especially with the spin enemies.

Also how can you build around taking damage? Did you try it? I tried it on hulk with full focus on def and I die as easy as my other chars while using rage. Enemies seem to do a percentage of your health as damage actually, not sure about that though.

So items that let you drain your intrinsic power to heal yourself, or spend your HP to get heroic power have no big impact?
OK then....

That's the bigger problem, there is no true hardcore difficulty at the moment. Although you do get 1shot easily if you don't watch it and/or don't build a lot of tank at max power.
