Purple is very overpowered, blue never went off, green hurts like a mofo but at least you can block it. Purple either needs damaged shaved or an increase in cost because that's way too quick for that kind of AoE dmg. It does seem off that her purple is cheaper than khan's green, does more damage, AND has an awesome utility effect to boot in destroying enemy specials. I still think it should be possible to avoid thebpyrple most of the time. 10ap is still a 4-match move, so it's deniable if you just focus on collecting purple. But that means you have to collect purple, so you should bring someone who can do something with it. I still have not faced her maxed but I have to say that she should be more powerful than KK, this is why she is a 4! And yeah, purple is really good, but it is her very good ability. Green is not bad, but it is not great, and blue is good but very situational, so I think purple should be really good... And AoE are not as devastating as they used to be after the big gain in hitpoints. 4000 to all hurts bad, but you can recover from it (it hurts more your health packs than your chances of winning).

Phaserhawk wrote: After Luke's PvP and seeing multiple maxed Jeans or close to max 5/3/4 was common, I can honestly say this. Blue--just like Loki you can play around it, never had it go off Green--Strong, hurts, but only had it go off once after a big AI cascade Purple--Had I not been running Thora, I would have gotten hit by this much more, as is, in the 14 matches against her, she got her purple off 4 times. And Thora kept it going off another 3, this skill is way too quick for the amount of dmg it does, and while Jean's health was boosted due to the bump thus increasing her chance of having it go, her dmg wasn't from what I saw. I don't want to see an AP increase, but this skill needs about 800 AoE shaved off it. Edit: I do understand Jean was boosted, and more than likely her high health increased the rate of purple, which is where the other possible nerf should go if not to skill is that her 13K health is way too high for that damage output.

Kind of like fury in that the powers are good, but take a while to get going. Can anybody who has her maxed comment on this? Does she really need someone like switch or khan or rags to fuel her powers? People need to stop saying switch. Either SW or scarlet witch, switch is just stupid.

I guess the theory is that if I match 5 I'm stunned for 2 turns after which Hawkeye's speed shot does a lot of damage. If only the opponent's Jean had any blue covers... Hawkeye fires if the offense matches 5 ... which make Prof X, GSBW, and Hawkeye fun. Their theory must have been that Witch blue would sent off a match five...sort of giving Witch an offensive punch. And after Witch collects pink, Grey chimes in with her pink. And, should you match five, Grey will let you know....if she has any blue covers.

She needs to be called switch beacuse SW just doesn't fit well into clever team names when discussing squad composition with your crew. For example: "SwitchBlade of Fury" "CagedSwitchFist" "SwitchedSexGoddess" See? Fun, no? easy...marc

I really wish the Devs would finally turn off ridiculous cascades in the player's favor and just make it random...

This guy is in Crew, and the guy in 2nd place is also in the same alliance. He doesn't need Rank 1 for the JG cover, the 2nd place guy did, yet he finished first (he tried to do that since he was in 2nd). Why would you take Rank 1 from a fellow alliance that needs the cover? *shrugs*

Why would you take Rank 1 from a fellow alliance that needs the cover? *shrugs* One of my alliance mates with a maxed Jean took first in Psylocke PVP with 1850+ points. I was around the 1500 point mark and took second in the bracket. Never once did i think that it was weird or strange that he was grinding hard even though eh didn't 'need" the cover and i did. This kind of thing happens. Everyone has a different thing that they value or thing that motivates them. Some dudes like to grind as hard as they can all the time. Some folks are grinding for season placement. If alliance mates are very close in score, OK maybe then they can discuss who "needs" the cover and who doesn't...maybe. But IMO in this instance, if i wanted the Jean cover that badly, i could have scored higher and won it fair and square. Once i reached a certain point threshold, i just wasn't motivated to hop anymore...jean cover or not. marc

Just got to 1k in Jean PVP based off this team. Edit: Was using a 3/5/5 Antman, 5/3/3 Jean (which I just got the green for a 1k reward and also pulled a blue in the 950 event pack) so now she is 5/4/4, and 5/3/5 Carnage. Helps they were all buffed for the event.
