Important Notes

New Infinity Set-Up for v2.07 infinity revamp:

  • Priority 1 (defensive nodes): 150/150 in "Micro-Warps". Feel free to put in less or even none if you feel that you require less defence.
  • Priority 2 (defensive bonus):  6 points in "Fighting" for the 100-point defensive bonuses.  If you dash alot or just like the movespeed, 38/50 into "Temporal Loophole". The attack speed is not as important as the main part of your DPS draws from your stance combo powers (explained below)
  • Priority 3: 45/50 in "Mind over Matter" and 46/50 "Superhuman". Do not put any more points in them, there is no additional benefit of doing so because of a rounding bug (you can check your stat sheet)
  • Priority 4: 30/30 "Mental Focus", then 75/75 "Strike Through"
  • Priority 5: Fighting attribute and "Patency" (if you like procs)

 

Rotation

  • 1) Lunge at your target using  , target-lock and hold down 
  • 2)  >  (dash) through your target to knockdown  >  >  >  >  (signature)
  • 3)  >  (dash) through your target to knockdown >  >  > 
  • Repeat step 3 when your skills are off cooldown, alternating between  and . Should only have to repeat twice for a total of 3 times before the next step (if you have a 20 second signature)
  • Repeat step 2 when  (signature) is off cooldown, but make sure  is active (it should be in most situations). If your main skills are almost off cooldown but your signature is already off cooldown, wait and use your main skills before using your signature

 

Note 1: You can swap the stances in the rotation if you would so prefer, but you must swap it out throughout the entire rotation 

Note 2: If you mess up your rotation (will happen frequently at first): 1) Use your 3 stance combo powers ( )off cooldown, 2) With your signature is off cooldown,  > , which should hard reset your rotation, 3) continue from step 2.

Note 3: This is a burst DPS rotation. Your filler () does far lower damage than your main rotation. Target locking in close range of a boss often puts you at a risk of dying, especially in patrols. Break off if it is unsafe, you will not lose a lot of DPS from doing so

 

Replacements

Note on cosmics: Most of the aforementioned uniques are better apart from the ring and slot 2 (cosmic might, CDR/BDR/CHR/BSR/Fighting/Strength). If you have a high-rolled cosmic ring with CHR/CDR/BDR/BSR/Fighting/Strength as affixes, you can use it at the expense of lower survivability.

  • Replace "Follow Through" with "Eddies of Chi" (second talent row) for terminal farming. Use  alot during terminals because it auto-procs , which is fantastic for AOE trash clearing
  • Replace  for  ,  for  (more offensive) or  (more defensive), odin's blessing mix (hela, volstagg, sif, odin) for  if you keep dying. ***THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR COSMIC DANGER ROOM***
  • Replace  with  if you do not have the former
  • Replace with (danger room item) if you do not have the former
  • His own uniques are fine if you do not have any of the former uniques

 

Videos

Note: In all the videos below, I am using i63 non-raid uniques with no challenge bonuses and no enchants, no 1000 damage cosmic affix catalyst. I use baseline gear to show that he is a viable hero to play in all content even for new players

 

v2.07, 1:55 TTK, cosmic raid dummy. I re-iterate that this is not a TTK build (entire set-up shown at the start)

 

 

Cosmic pug raids (part of hellfire/brimstone) +axis sentinels (100 stacks) with the same gear as above. Yes, I did ask for permission from my team to use sub-par gear to film these videos. Note interestingly that my buff bar bugs out during hellfire/brimstone, which also shows the importance of having your rotation at the back of your hand

 

 

  

Crossbones solo (entire set-up shown at the end)

 

Cosmic Danger Room, no deaths. For all the parts of the videos I run around in circles like a silly goon it's because of FPS lag from recording, you can see this from my stuttering mouse cursor

 

 

Cosmic Kurse/Skrull/Ultron. Notice that I die once at Ultron, but I'm not going to re-record it because it is a salient example of your signature bugging out (no damage, goes on cooldown but this isn't shown on the power bar) which can put you in peril
