Hey Gang!
I've recently returned to this game after a year or so away. Rogue is by far my favorite hero in this game, mechanically and conceptually. Suffice it to say that Rogue's release was what got me into this game in the first place. When I last played, most rogue builds involved accursed beam and there were some up-and-coming crushing blows builds (some people were desperately trying to make EMF builds work). I was an early adopter of the crushing blows build, and found that I really liked the playstyle. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I had to drop the game.
Now that I am back, it seems that Rogue has had several major power-ups, followed by a recent nerf. After doing some cursory research, I slapped together a build resembling this one here: http://marvelheroes.info/build/35117/. I am missing a few of the uniques (fragment, skrull military Uniform, Mask of the goat), and rightclops, but otherwise have been able to replicate this build on a basic level. I'm a little bit over 1k Omegas, but was able to pass the cosmic trial. Here begins my problem. With this build, I am getting spanked in the cosmic patrols. I fear that this build is more of a TTK showcase than an actual practical build. Perhaps it might all come together when all the pieces are in place. Regardless, it is abundantly clear to me that I need to change my build if I want to handle the cosmic patrols (or harder danger rooms). I'd love to get your input on how I can modify my build to tackle this more challenging content. Note: I'd prefer not to run a dodge rating spidey build (even if its purely better).
After browsing this thread (https://forums.marvelheroes.com/discussion/262305/new-nerfs-2-10-16#latest), a few things stood out to me:
1) Drop Iron Man's passive in favor of 1 point in Drax
2) Drop Shifting Sands in favor of 1 point in Colossus
*) I am losing crit rating, damage rating (and attack speed/fighting), and some max spirit. I am gaining some defense + pseudo regen (armor), some brutal stuff, and freeing up 38 power points (19 from Iron Man and 19 from Shifting Sands).
**) How should I reinvest these power points? Should I max out kree resilience, and look for a new damage layer? Should I max out teleportal? Does Volcanic Eruption sound like a good choice?
***) Should I change my gearing to help make up for the lost critical rating---probably swap out nano-poison for sabertooth's furry mane, sub in Batroc for Skrull Military Uniform?
****) Have I overlooked anything? Am I screwing myself by wanting to stick as close to the linked build as possible? Its damn fun tho!
Any assistance is hugely appreciated. You guys rock!
Edit: I guess I could just work towards a shield of perseus and let the rest of my build come together.
