                what? no way, max that yellow for a 9 green tile drop and green for team damage, red isn't the star anymore since its down to 3 yellow and bumped to 8 cost.

                It's either 5/3/5 or 5/5/3 now since my red is maxed before this re-spec icon_e_sad.gif

                well whenever we get the ability to respec that is what id pick, but the yellow should be max since each rank will give more green tiles up to 9

                Sorry if this sounds silly, I'm still new to the game - by respec do people mean start the character all over again from scratch? There are no ways to remove a cover/power once it's set, right?

                correct you can't switch covers around once they are on the character, but they've said we might get the option to do so in the future

                And this is why respec needs to be here already. From the new stats, I would have built my Thor 3/5/5 not 5/5/3, so D3 make this so ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                My level 65 5/3/5 Thor is okay with this. Still not fully optimal, but I don't feel so bad about butchering him.

                Now Thor is totally a different character, especially his yellow and green skills; we absolutely need respec's option!

                With Ragnarok I don't say anything, Tehy nerfed only the red skill, but now Thor is totally a different character, especially his yellow and green skills!

                don't trash him, we might get respecs some point down the line, 3/5/5 is more effective now but he isn't exactly destroyed being 5/5/3 until then

                You and me both. I would prefer him to be 3.5.5 but I'm not going to scrap him at level 74 to do it. I've run him through a few games and 5.3.5 works fine. I'll wait for if/when we get a respec feature.

                After the nerf i look at my 5/5/3 thor and i see him broken.

                The red tile generation is almost gone, making this ability useless (there are better damage abilities)
                I like the yellow change from a heavy damage to a tile generator.
                And the green now is his main nuke similar to GBW greens.

                At lvl 4 it will do 1781 damage to target and 890 to other enemies, I think that at lvl 5 it will be 2000 and 1000

                I think that his optimal build will be 3/5/5.

                      ... so what do you guys think?

                      3/5/5
                      to use Thunder Strike to collect AP for Call for Storm?

                      or maybe

                      5/3/5
                      to deal dmg with Mjolnir’s Might while and just wait for the other skills to happen over time?

                      Just 5/5/3 doesnt seem to make much sense anyway.. unless u just need him to collect green for another char?

                      Insights please? :3

                      (and plox no more posts of "just delete him and the entire game".. its just no helpfull at all :/
                      New player will get covers for him again and will need help to decide, no matter what u think of the changes ^^)

                      3/5/5 for me.

                      If I use him, I would likely have better 2* reds like new Wolvie red, Magneto 4/5/4 red, or even Hawkeye red. I don't know much about Ares' red yet though. Overall, there seems to be plenty of good red skills to use so don't be forced to use his new weak red skill.

                      Unfortunately the red skill was killed, not due to increased cost or nerfed damage/ap, but because generating 3 basic tiles in random places is inconsequential about 95% of the time (0,375 tiles per AP spent, moreover so)

                      + 1

                      I sold him to power level my Punisher. But will definitely build him 3/5/5 in the future for the same reason mentioned.

                      I think the only important thing is that you go 5 on yellow. The damage on the other 2 abilities probably isn't as relevant as you go into a 3* roster.

                      Sure yellow 5 is no-brainer, but how about comparing 4/5/4 to 3/5/5?

                      IUC the difference is only a 10%-ish bump in damage. If he happens to sit alone on red or the competition red is much higher (we have a plenty at 14 or 12), it may have its use. While the green is quite expensive so sits for later -- and it is also in heavy competition similar to red.

                      My problem is, his red is kinda his only not-completely expensive skill... No matter how weak the yellow-time-creation is now *sigh*
                      Imagine him alone on the field and.. yeah green and yellow will just take forever to do anything at all.

                      On the other hand greens dmg really looks awesome.. but I could just use c storm and be happy about the stun >.>


                      When I think about what his skills would work nice with I kinda always have to think about hulk lol

                      I mean they should be able to make awesome cascades, shouldnt they? Maybe throw in some strike tiles to make it more fun?
                      Any thought about that? :3
