I just got access yesterday, and have started playing with Thor. I've gotten to level 11 or so, and I'm just curious how difficulty scales with him. So far using call of lightning has made short work of virtually every enemy....

Has anyone played him to a higher level? If so do you have any insight on a good build as time goes along?

Thanks

My buddy Mark got him to Level 30. He is really strong. Has a great Boss Spec or Aoe mass killing specs.

I played him in beta and felt he was really strong.

If I recall right Bring the Thunder is the big AOE storm that does massive DPS.

And If I recall the Lighting Smash is a great Single Target.

Don't hold me to it though I hella randomed it up and just rolled Cyclops at the start even though I wanted to level Thor.

Yeah, I played him to 30+ in beta, and the only hero i thought was stronger was obviously Hulk. I think you're bang on on the skills, his lightning tree does ridiculous damage and I'm basically just looking for a points dump as I'm carrying like 6 extra that I haven't used because I don't know how rare retcons are going to be.

Call the Lightning
Bring the Thunder (at lvl 14 i'll be using this)
Asgardian Stamina
1 point into flight and 1 into rush

I'll have to try out lightning smash for a boss killer.

There are where I've dumped my points so far.

You get a retcon from a quest on every character.(if you redo the quest)

Yeah, I know. Don't wanna burn it too early though....Right now (lvl 11) the game is still super easy, so i figured I'd post for some insight before I just started dropping points in.

Yeah I would just follow what we talked about until 25ish.

Once your out of doom I would focus on the AOE and just run the Raids to about 30ish.

Then after that will just depend on what your main focus is.

I am the same with Recons. I have used a few trying to get some sort of playability out of Cyclops.

I would just keep an eye out for items that give +1 to whatever skill you are trying to use next.

Cyke still bad? I really liked him before they nerfed ricochet. Also really liked storm, but I heard they nerfed her pretty good too.

Yeah I heard they nerfed her.

Wish I had been playing beta to know cyclops got one.

He is really weak man. Without a team I can't farm orange mobs that aren't melee. Any ranged 1-2 shot me.

All my gear is high defensive and my current level.

Richochet + Knockback passive works great on melee mobs but ranged dont seem to keep knocked back and can get shots off inbetween. Compared to melee who just derp in front of me.

With his level 30 AOE I am able to shoot things off the map in 1 shot if green 2 shots if orange without getting agro, but can't do it through walls so can get scary sometimes.

Maybe with some end game items he will get stronger, but atm very weak solo.

FYI
I got 36% speed on my optic powers so my ricochet and optic blast are gnar but just not efficient enough without any defensive skills to stay alive.
I also maxing the synergies while maxing the penetration debuff, but like I said so squishy.

But if you compare him to cable he looses because cable not only shares some of the same skills like a duration beam and single target shots he just has a lot more to offer defensively with aura's / teleports / heals ect.

My brother has his Cable at 22 and really likes him. I'm super jealous of the teleport ability....It's extremely useful.

A shame that cyke is such a pansy while some of the other heroes are virtually invulnerable.....Hopefully they continue to patch until there is at least a degree of parody between all of the heroes.....But on the bright side since you're an UP guy you can play one of the op heroes next and balance the universe out.

Yeah I am hoping for a future buff.

Honestly Dead Pool / Cable seem really strong with the diversity and that teleport.

I personally hate jumping on things that are strong so I am testing out Colossus. I have a feeling a real tank will be needed in the future for updates.
