    Yea, I can't even bring myself to dump iso in him. I'm just using my Patch/Loki combo and Pun is along for the ride (and Retribution). This PvP is making me do math though *shakes fist*

    This pvp has exposed just how sad and outclassed both Punisher and X-Force are. Both are boosted and yet I struggled using them for the initial climb. They just can't do enough damage by themselves. If you bring Iron fist you can accelerate for one surgical strike but fist gets all the pressure and dies quickly. I do not remember other PVP where I actually lost so many matches, almost one for every couple of wins.

    weird one for sure. struggled to hover out of the 400s (tons of hits - nearly as soon as I play a match) then made a big push into the mid-800s. got nervous and shielded since 210pun/166mags/153loki isn't going to scare anyone. no hits have come in in the 30 min since shielding. could have been well into the 900s. ugh. just when I think I know how far to push, I get it wrong.

    one other question. it seems like a switch flips about 700 and this event I went from mostly patch/daken teams to mostly fistbuster teams. below 700 I'd be lucky to find a patch/daken team in the 40s but above ~700, fistbusters in the 50s was easy. one queued in the 60s and got 73, another in the 50s got me 60something. it feels like once you get yourself above the masses, higher pt targets get easier to find (at this point before everyone shields).

    oh, and fistbusters really nerve wracking to take on with such a weak team. haven't wiped this one yet, but I expect its right around the corner in an upcoming hop.

    If you think Fistbuster is bad, wait until you run into the JG teams above 1K - _those_ are really bad icon_e_smile.gif

    Horrible event.
    These days, if you don't run JG you have a big target on your back.
    All buffed Punisher is good for is to get a Molotov off which is sure to cost you at least a third of Fist's health, and since you're taking a lot of match damage too, guarantees at least one health pack used after each match.

    Next PVP won't be much better, since IM40 will pull lots of Unibeams out of his butt, regardless of whether he has the AP for it or not. Bleh.

    next event we get buffed witch, deadpool, and cap. there are buffed strategy options there. this week's buffs with a weak featured just blow.

    Ah, forgot that buffs change.
    Yeah this should be better.

    characters this week suck, got to 900 and tried to push to 1000 since the event was a graveyard and lots of points were available and got kicked back down below 800...appearances aren't everything, folks

    everything on stream of course

    I think part of the problem is that punisher's colors in black green red overlap on many of the most popular attack colors. In addition, the buff makes his attack strong enough to cripple characters, but not so overwhelmning to one shot characters. So in effect, your winning matches but losing the war. Usually, Xforce fist is a very consistent performer and I can go 3, 4, 5 matches at a time before I need to heal. But in this pvp, I'm healing every other match.

    Frustrating and somewhat boring.

    Climbing this PvP sucked a lot. Ran Daken/Blade to start with to save health packs for PvE, but even Daken gets downed way too often from molotov spam, enemy daken strike tiles and then Punisher red. Managed to clear PvE with only 2 health packs, so went back to my trusty Groot/Hood for climbing and hopping the rest of the event.

    Got my third 1k, getting better at PvP! Though it seems just in time for 5*s to become the next big thing... icon_razz.gif

    after spending X health packs, X HP I give up on this event....No one was worth points 8 hours until end of sub I got to 950-ish and couldn't climb anymore.

    Couldn't even get past 800 after shield.

    Kept losing because true healers need a buff. Too low health.

    Unholy Shuma Gorath Punisher blows...

    I chose s1 but probably shouldn't have since I choose s1 for PVE as well. Grinded my sub 1 in PVE, cleared Florida, broke at the end to get 1 match in, finished at 951 (from 914), then went back to beat the repeatable in the main. Glad I didn't need the Elektra. Will not choose s1 for IM40 PVP since I don't want the overlap with PVE.

    Managed to sneak into top ten with a scant 1700.

    This is probably why everyone else had trouble. All the points were in my slice. I went to about 1190 before shielding and used a 3/8/3 set of shields. Definitely had an alliance mate who broke 1300 before her first shield. Hooray slice scoring discrepancies! (Which are probably only going to be exacerbated once the 1300 cover becomes a Legendary Token.)
