You sir have blown my mind with an amazing guide. I am going on record and saying your guided is so good that I now want to play Rocket, wheras before I didnt want to . Amazing job...Now, who do I have to give a rub and tug to, to get my hands on that awesome spreadsheet??

Again great job- needs 4 thumbs up...but it will only let me give one.

2

Thanks a bunch. Comments like yours and everyone else's here are why I like making these kinds of guides. I really appreciate them.



As far as giving out the spreadsheet, I have given out the past versions before on the Rocket Raccoon message boards. I'll need to clean it up, but I might release it to the public again soon :). The only caveat is that you'll probably need Microsoft Excel. I'm not sure if the macros--which is what I use to generate those lists--will run in programs like OpenOffice

Excellent build. Took it to CMM and didn't die even after my crack pipe exploded! Overall pretty good, four stars out of five, but my lip is bleeding like hell...

Hi. Thanks for the guide. been using it loosely for my build. Just curious, for slot 1, does the vulnerability on the anti-metal not increase the dps a bit to make it a bit more worthwhile as well as being able to forgo the cobra in slot 5?

Thanks again!

Sorry. Downvoted by mistake. Wont let me reverse it.

I hear you on the procs. Am just using it while I try to get my hands on the BiS. I probably wont be able to get the fragment. trying for the spear. but if the proc on anti-metal lets me drop gravity grenade, I may be able to live with it...



Thanks mate. Also, I upvoted everything else by way of apology.

I haven't done any in depth testing on them, but I would say that it might be roughly the same due to procs.





The thing with using Fragment and Cobra over over Anti-Metal and Essence is that the Fragment provides a lot of defensive stats like Health per hit, Health, and a revive over Anti-Metal. Also, both Fragment and Cobra have damage procs which have not been calculated into the gear rankings making them a bit higher than they are listed as.

Great loking build and a great help to a nob in game. Will try this out. :)

Great guide, your past guide was awesome and this one is even better, keep your good work on dear little furry thing ! :) Cheers !

I'm not surprised you're close to Remilia, you both are great and enjoyable players !

Hi !

I'm really intriguing about how you did the items dps comparaison, could you explain to me how did you do that ? :p

2

I use a spreadsheet that I made about a year ago. You can even download it on the Rocket Raccoon forums if you go to my guide's thread. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated with all the new Infinity changes as I haven't uploaded the newest version.



Basically, I use the damage formulas that are readily accessible on the forums to calculate my damage based on abilities, gear, Infinity Points, etc. I then use these formulas to calculate the potential dps difference among every piece of gear. And on a seperate sheet, I run macros to sort the gear based on the greatest dps potential.

My gosh, you're so smart !

It seems to be difficult to me ahah, nice work anyway, I'll defenitly try it ^-^

how about new artifact Doomsaw?

2

I haven't added Doomsaw to the ranking list but it isn't in the top 4.

Thanks for taking the time to make such a great guide!

Out of curiosity, why Bowazon for the Runeword?

2

You mean over something like Doop Inspiration? Well the biggest reason why Bowazon is chosen over Doop Inspiration is you basically trade 500 summon damage for 300 brut strike rating and 300 ranged damage. 500 summon damage only affects about 50% of your damage. While the 300 ranged damage affects the other 50% of your damage, the 300 brut strike rating affects 100% of your damage spread.



The other reason why I chose Bowazon over Doop Inspiration is that Doop has variable stats every time you enchant. You could end up with the worst ranges. For Bowazon, it's always static.

2

Honestly, you can either one and be fine for the most part. There isn't much of a dps difference to really make a huge case for either one.



The one thing that I can say that Doop Inspiration has over Bowazon is that you don't have to attack to get the +600 brut. This can be really good if you are speed farming terminals with turrets as you aren't attacking all that much. I actually have to change the Runeword on the speedfarming build to that Inspiration at some point.

Best guide ever, always updating!

1

If I dont have sam wilson which team up do u recommend and do u recommend i forgo vulnerability?

2

You can use Arachne or any other any other teamup that can provide vulnerability. If you want to use a teamup that doesn't provide vulnerability like Jessica Jones, replace H7 Fleetslayer with Gravity Mine. Vulnerability is too good of a debuff to not have.

1

Thank u very much for the awesome detailed guide and the updates but why does ur spreadsheet for artifacts mention the crossbones teaching credentials (mental) as better than energy...i am not good with calculations like u but this just seems strange

2

Whoops! That was a holdover from when those items had mental and energy damage. The mental credentials has +3 int and the energy one has +3 energy. The +3 int has 120 more crit damage over the +3 energy.

1

Damn dude...

After peeking at your guides, I am now stuck on Rocket. No one seems to pour out the pain like the coon now. I am sort of in between all of your builds, but over 50 int and 30 energy seems like he kinda got a little OVER buffed.

Not complaining though, it's just hard for me to play anyone else in comparison. Other classes ARE fun, but killing stuff faster = more loot chance = less time spent searching for those rare cosmis artifacts :P

Thanks for this guide!

Awesome work. now i want to test it!

Wondering why go with the sling ring, when not using the signiture ability. What do you think of a Bloodstone Demonband in it's place?

2

The invulnerability proc isn't really what's important so much as the amount and quality of the stats that sling ring provides. The thing with Bloodstone Demonband is that it's worth is dependant on what random stats you get thrown. You can also get thrown around only 2 dps stats on each ring making it very limiting. If you want to use a viable alternative to Sling Ring, get either the industry City Signet Ring or Midtown Guardian Signet. If you just have a bunch of demonbands that you want to use, look for a combination of brut strike, brut damage, SAD, and/or int with health or defense.

1

Ran out of space. Just to talk about the stats for a bit, the crit rating and damage on sling ring rank as 2 of Rocket's most wanted stats at late endgame. In addition to this, the crit also transfers to Groot and his turrets, unlike with Industry City Signet since that crit is typed crit rating. And to top it off, you get a massive amount of health that is greeted with open arms for this build. So in summation, the large amount of 2 of rocket's most wanted stats in addition to almost 3k health put this toward the top of my list. If the signature was worth using, it would just be awesome.

1

Excellent build and guide. I started a few days playing with rocket, and i trust this build and it's not regret me. My rocket is reeeaaaly cool. I questioned the legendary and thought to get the bow, but the deffensive atributes of the shield are so indispensable. Ty so much!

1

Do u know some more tips and tricks for other chars?

1

You da real MVP when it comes to RR. +1 vote. Keep doing what you do, because I love it. Thanks for all the hard work. As a guide maker, I really know how stressful the process can be!

1

love this build but why the Upgraded Urdinance talent? no Rocket Dash or Gravity Mine skill equipped

2

There really is nothing meaningful to pick in this tier. You could actually switch to Upgraded Plasma Rifle for extra aoe on your Blaster Turret, but that's really a person preference thing because that lowers single target dps. Other than that, Upgraded Big Gun and Upgraded Ordinance don't modify anything in this build.

I think what I'll do is switch the talents and make a note of it in the guide.

love your wor buddy!

Nice work, but that's not the TTK test dummy :)

2

The Cosmic Small Raid Dummy is the unofficial one being using until some kind of standardization is formed.
