Welcome to the new Magik guide for the new update. I've done extensive testing and found that this is the best configuration for Magik using her summons. With a few more tweaks, I should be able to achieve sub 2 minutes.

 3/31/17 Update

Updated with new infinity system. Scales a lot better with infinity points now.

Book of Eibon was nerfed and is no longer a good alternate artifact.

ROTATION 

Very simple rotation.  Soul Sever every cooldown. Best way to know when your pets will despawn is to look at your Eternal Servitude timer as it is similar in cooldown. If this is about to happen, save your pets active ability to resummon them instead.

Hold down left mouse for Soul Cleaving and use your cooldowns when available.

 

Talents

TIER 1

Bile Demons or Deadly Fangs- These 2 perform equally because Bile Demons extends pet duration to 1.1m instead of 30 seconds. In previous Magik builds, Deadly Fangs was ahead but because you have to resummon the pets more often now, damage ends up being about the same.

TIER 2

Blood in The Air is the best.

TIER 3

For this build I use Limbo's Enforcer. The Fist of N'astirh ends up tanking quite a bit in content. With the Tier 5 talent Otherworldy Command, Fist can brutal strike for more than 1 milllion. The other build that you may run is Nastirh with Dark Alliance.

TIER 4

Sever the Silver Thread is the best. Unfortunately the rest of the 2 talents on Magik are not practical. Blood Spirit makes you lose hp and Restless Spirits does not regenerate souls automatically and is bugged and does not wor with Soul Brand. Vengeful Spirits in general is severely undertuned.

TIER 5

Otherworldy Command is best because of the amount of pets this build uses. The other talent you can use is Disiple of Limbo but it does underperform for this build.

 

GEAR

 

SLOT 1

  Fragment of Twilight =>  Phoenix-Enhanced Soulsword

SLOT 2

  Standard Issue X-Men Uniform =>  Portal's Darkhawk Armor =>  Phoenix Force Harness

SLOT 3

  Mantle of Limbo's Queen =>  Coat of the Skull

SLOT 4

  Earth-4210 Boots

SLOT 5

  Octobot Controller =>  Essence of Jinn

RING

  Sling Ring of the Kamar-Taj (mental) = Midtown Guardian's Signet

Midtown Signet does slightly more damage but Sling Ring adds more survival. The difference is about 7 seconds in damage. I recommend using the Sling Ring on harder content.

MEDALLION

  S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Medallion => Red Onslaught Medallion = Skrull Avengers Medallion

INSIGNIA

  Cyclops, Weapon X, Nick Fury

 

About Slot 2 : Theoretically, the best slot 2 for Magik would be a cosmic slot 2 with Critical Hit, Brutal Hit and Critcal Damage Rating with the Might Proc.

 

ARTIFACTS ( Best )

SLOT 1

  Cosmically Enhanced Ultron Encephalo-Beam

SLOT 2

  Gem of the Kursed

SLOT 3

  Cosmically Enhanced Crossbones's Teaching Credentials

SLOT 4

  Edge of Infinity

 

All Hela Blessings

 

Other Artifacts ( Alternatives )

Hood of the Reaper

Flag of the Skrull Empire

Iron Legion Armor Sheath

 

The reason most of the general artifacts are better is because of the critical chance they have. Pets scale very well with crit. Infinity points should be spent with this in mind as well. Summoner Magik scales better with crit and brut chance more than base damage.

 

LEGENDARY

 

Neptune's Trident => The Warlock's Eye

 

Neptune's Trident beats Warlock's Eye for this build. However, if you plan on using her melee spec in the future and do not have many odin marks, use the Warlock's Eye. One thing to keep in mind: Neptune's Trident's level 5 proc is missing on the training dummy and still outperforming Warlock's Eye.

 

URU-FORGE

 

Doop Inspiration

 

Hands down the best Uru-Forge you can get for this build. Use the defensive Uru-Forge for more survival.

 

Relic

Relic of Atlantis

 

Team-Up

1

2

3

 

Coulson is hands down the best team up for DPS.

 

Infinity System

In general you want to spend as many points into fighting as possible. However, there are a few things to note before doing so.

If you are over 40% Brutal Strike Rating, Brutal Damage node is better.

My tests also show if you are over 60% Critical Strike Rating, Critical Damage is better.

In other words, depending on your gear and infinity points, make sure you keep this in mind. After you put points into critical and brutal nodes, dump the rest of your points into Fighting for more base damage.
