People are obsessed with blue -- but if you read through all the threads the explanation is lacking. I built OBW during No Men Land and she was my main character up until recently (a month maybe) getting replaced by close-to-max ***s. Playing with Wol**, then punisher, patch, and really whatever goes. I considered the build all too many times up front and again when respec arrived and it is still the best. Lack of healing with CDs is real pain an a small (under 2%) percent of matches but the benefits of the other 2 abilities made difference in more than half. You can see my roster in the snapshots thread, the oldest version is mostly produced by OBW -- from there it was Mags.

locked wrote: I kind of start to see the point with denying 2 matches instead of one with higher level Recon, but 5 blue is just invaluable imo even if only for oBW to live long enough herself. For her, 600+ health is nothing to sneeze at.
Phantron wrote: One thing I noticed is that level 125 OBW has a 65 blue strength while level 141 Magneto has 67 blue strength, so you need to keep Magneto at around 130ish so that you can get espionage when OBW is buffed. Espionage on Magnetic FIeld is literally cheating.
locked wrote: Why run oBW and cMags together? Overlap on 2 abilities' colour is too much for me, and cMagneto is usually better anyway so no reason to **** him because of a buffed oBW. He is perfectly able of sucking up all the available blue by himself.
locked wrote: But oBW isn't always buffed and even with buffs her health is rarely more than 4,5k. How can you hide the freaking Magneto behind HER back lol? I need to seriously play some with oBW/cMags while she's buffed and he's not and see the hype for myself. But as it stands, Magneto is perfectly able of protecting himself without oBW.
