Overview

Latest update: I tried several iteration of Basic-less builds, and ended up with this one -- BFG for everything! You can eke out slightly better single-target DPS using TD or Energy Barrage, but the difference is so slight that it hardly seems worth it.

The points from my basic ended up in Gravity Mine, which is a great power. It does decent damage, it gathers everything up for BFG, and it adds 10% to your damage -- what's not to love? Everything else is pretty standard.

Tricked out with Uniques, this build eats cosmics alive. With a Time Dilator, a Suppression Turret, 3 Blaster Turrets, and Groot working at your target, you should very rarely come under fire -- your only concern is to stay out of the Cosmic Patches o' Death.

Important note: I have the armor of burrowing escape, so my BE is actually more like 20-something. I use it a lot; it covers a lot of ground at that rank, and the stealth lasts a long time. It's absolutely necessary for in-combat mobility and dumping aggro.

Powers

(W key): Negates damage. Combines with your dodge to give very decent survivability. That said, you very rarely come under fire, so it's not maxed out, and you could even drain points out of it if you want to put them elsewhere.

(RMB on F2): You can fly! It's flight -- use it to get around.

(LMB): Great damage in a huge cone. This is your attack. Use it on anything -- fantastic for bosses with summons, and also for Midtown, where you can do more or less equal damage to all of the bosses in a spawn at once.

(F key): These do sort of piddley damage, but three of them out at once adds up, and, hey, it's extra damage. They also draw aggro, which is nice.

(A key): I didn't use this for the longest time. But I was finally won over when I switched to a Loki synergy, with bonus damage to slowed targets. Score!

(RMB): Does damage, add 10% vulnerability, and bunches up bad guys. A great power. Apply liberally -- the only downside is that there's a slight delay deploying it, but it's easy enough to get the feel of it.

(D key): A stun, a damage debuff, and another thing to draw bad guy attention. Set it and forget it.

(S key): This is a great power. It's different than other rolls/charges/slides, and actually acts more like a teleport, so it takes some getting used to. Great mobility but, even more important, stealth. Don't underestimate the value of a quick stealth.

(Passive): Adds dodge. Not strictly necessary, as you don't take much heat, but the +Dodge to Groot is nice.

(RMB on F3): I AM GROOT! Groot is, arguably, a better tank than some of the "Tank" characters in the game -- he can take a truly astounding amount of abuse, and hands out some decent damage. Probably the best power in Rocket's kit -- always have him out. ALWAYS.

(Passive): +Crit. Crit is nice. Good crit.

(E key): CC Cleansing. Neat-o.

(Passive): Worth a point for the spirit and shield recharge.

Tactics

First of all -- Groot out, always. I used to spawn him on top of stuff, but the scattering is kind of a pain -- now I just spawn him whenever there not a Groot. You can also get a Guardians emblem that summons Groot saplings (a lot of them). It's a clan of Groots! A passle! A flock!

For trash, Gravity Mine, and then BFG. It's not complicated.

For anything with staying power, drop a Blaster Turret, gravity mine 'em into a bunch, drop a supression turret, a Time Dilator, Burrow out to drop aggro. Summon additional Blaster Turrets as needed (until you have three out at once, or the thing you are fighting is dead). Then, BFG. Re-apply Gravity Mine to keep up the vulnerability debuff. If you run out of juice (it happens), switch to Quick Shot for a bit (at Rank 12 for me, with + from gear), and you'll be back in the game in seconds.

Gear

Medallion: Cosmic Pyro. All sorts of +'s to energy damage.

Artifact 1: Advanced Latverian Regalia. Buffs all of your pet damage.

Artifact 2: Advanced Skrull Targeting Computer. Since Rocky is almost never attacked, the damage buff almost always applies.

Artifact 3: Advanced Super-Soldier Serum. We need the energy, plus the health regen helps on the off chance that we do take some heat.

Artifact 4: Advanced Kree Hyper-Optics. More crit, because why not.

Relic: Atlantis. More crit damage.

Legendary: I've been using Cosmic Control Rod for the energy damage. It's good.

Runeword: I've been using the belt, for +energy damage, and River of Souls for bottomless spirit. It seems to work for me.

Costume: I've got all +Crit and +Crit Damage affixes on my costume, and a core that grants +Energy and Spirit and Health with a med-pack. It's nice to have that last one if you run low.
