My theory as well. I played him until 28 in beta, and he was a slug at levelling, but I think I died 1 or 2 times the entire time I played him.

I'm actually hoping to find him as a random drop more than some of the more popular heroes for exactly your reasoning....eventually things are going to do enough damage that a real life tank is going to be needed, and not just a ton of individuals outputting millions of damage points.

Yeah him and Thing have a defensive block.

With the knock down + double damage skill to knockdown enemies I think colossus could potentially be broken end game. Not to mention Passive Defense Skills and Auras.

How was the spinning skill? Training is a little slow but with completion of the game it allows me to just boss farm and I get pretty good xp.

The only skill that I really used to lvl was the stomp, and the direct damage was either a headbutt or a punch ( I got him and thing confused...and I'm at work right now so i cant log in and look) He's going to be much more fun for the real game because the timeframe before a wipe is not an issue. During beta It took me a week to lvl him and I felt like i was wasting time that I could be playing other heroes faster....In the real game that means very little.

Yeah is much slower at leveling so being able to play without a wipe will be nice for testing.

I am at work so I don't know the names either, but I do know that the second Melee Punch does the double Damage to knockdown target. The third knockdown he gets at level 13 I think does Gnarly Small Aoe Damage. Right now at level 13 I think it procs anywhere from 3xx - 7xx Damage.

I am really curious to see how strong the whirlwind skill is. Did you test that at all?

Not that I recall.... and if i did, it didn't make a lasting impression. It's 100% possible that they made it better since I played him....I dumped so many points into his auras...The defense one is nice

Yeah I am praying for the OPness of multiclassing to have both defensive and offensive builds. But doubt it.

If they aren't gonna add it I would love being able to get 2 of the same hero, but with their current UI that won't work.

Like I heard you get a hero after doing Doom, but sense I have ultipack I dont.


TBH I wouldn't want multiclassing because thats what I loved about rolling the same class on D2 with a different build. But at least allow me to have 2 Thors or something

Yeah, I see what you mean....or they could just make retcons vendorable. That way you could keep an offense setup/defense setup for whatever you're doing, and then just respec whenever you needed to.

Having 2 of the same hero would actually be pretty awesome.

I doubt it because that will be their main source of income coming from the in game shop @ 300 each. So about 3$ per respect with the current ratio.
