BASICLESS WEB BARRAGE BUILD

Ranged has some pretty miserable basic attacks in terms of DPS, in fact if it wasn't for web barrage the build would be downright inferior to melee in every way. Luckily web barrage in combination with some artifacts/medallions puts out some pretty insane DPS.

Max these abilities:

Spider Sense- No brainer, gives you all of your defensive needs with a "thorns" ability to boot.

Web Spray- This is your most important skill, this increases the dmg done by all of your mandarin procs as well as mahts bleed, and the rest of your dmg.

Web Barrage- This will be your main source of dmg, single target boss/elite killer.

Stick Around- This is your AOE for trash, whites will be one shot and blues take 2-3.

Corrosive Web Fluid- This boosts your ranged dmg, remember that the farther away you are, the more dmg you do. Freezing from mandarins/ immob from web spray will help you keep bosses farther away for a little bit.

Infuriating Humor- Free dmg, looking at 700+ when maxed in addition to +all gear.

1 point wonders:

Spider Strike- This one is given to you, no points actually spent. Keep this on your bar, when rushing bosses there have been times where I forgot to have Pyms equipped and I run out of spirit, having a rank 1 basic will help you stay alive until you have some spirit.

Web Swing Attack- Great CC breaker, helps a lot on T4 Red Doom fights.

Spider to the Fly- Being ranged, the 50% melee dmg is pretty much wasted, but you get free crit/brut. An easy 300+ with all the +all skill gear you will have and if you have iron spider breastplate you can get it to 12 with one point spent.

Amazing Smash- A good "oh crap" skill, doesn't scale the CD down with ranks and the actual DPS is negligable. With the rework SM is pretty durable and doesn't rely on the 100% dodge either.

Web Zip Line- Good attack/movement speed boost, I use it during boss fights to create distance (more dmg from corrosive) and buff my attack speed.

Superior Agility- The tenacity and movement speed is meh, the attack speed is nice... however at rank 20 your looking at only 10% attack speed, that combined with the high DR on attack speed, means it is not worth investing into.

Web Swinging- Good for getting up and over those pesty obstacles, web swing attack tends to get stuck a lot when trying to clear large obstacles, so web swinging it is!

Deflective Web Shield- So the difference between max web shield and 1 point for me (I have very good gear) is approximatley 7% defense mitigation, 21% deflection, 100 HPS. Being ranged, I am fine with the boost 1 point gives us. Plus the life leech and LOH in this build is enough to heal any dmg taken.

Here are a few videos that I have put up recently using this build. This build is VERY strong at single taret DPS, in fact it is the strongest build there is ATM between all heroes.

Red T4 Taskmaster 00:08 sec kill



Red T4 Doom 1:47 sec kill



GEAR
Unique Web Shooters- Best in Slot, prioritize a good +webslinger tree roll (+6)/ +dmg to webbed (300+)/ Attack Speed (10%+)/ % cost reduction to web powers (10%+)

Shadowed Mask of Kaine- One of the best uniques in the game, and it makes it even better that the only variable stat is Drop rarity boost, so any mask you get will be the same DPS increase.

Iron Spider Breastplate- A good option for this build, prioritize +dmg to targets attacking you (350+)/ +crimefighter tree (+6)/ +spider sense (+8)/ Health (1500+)/ Ignore projectile (10%+)/ Tenacity. A well rolled Cosmic would actually be best in slot here; would need (Grant Spider to the Fly 20+, +dmg to targets attacking you, health, dodge, % webslinger reduction, spirit). The +1 from it being a cosmic and the grant spider to the fly would push the DPS from it over the "Iron Spider Breastplate."

Gloves (Slot 3)- 1 of the 2 cosmics you will need to get. Try to roll these affixes; Grant Spider to the Fly 20+, +dmg to targets attacking you, health, dodge, % webslinger reduction, spirit. If you already have a cosmic chest that beats "Iron Spider Breast Plate", roll for "grant Deflective Webshield" in addition to the spider to the fly from the cosmic chest.

Boots (Slot 4)- 2nd cosmic you will need to get. Try to roll these affixes; +5 web spray/+5 Web Barrage/+5 Corrosive, Health, Spirit, Def, MS, DRB/SIF. The +skills are in order of importance, the web spray will give you the most DPS gain as the dmg % increase would affect mandarin/mahts proc dmg.

ARTIFACTS
Superheroic Maht's Arrowhead- This is what the build revolves around, it is a quest reward from chapter 7. Try to get an 18%-20% proc chance one. This will keep your spirit full when spamming web barrage, it also helps keep your spirit full when attacking trash as well, not as efficient on stick around as it is with Web barrage.

Advanced Meta-Sensory Array- This is one of the highest DPS artifacts in the game, the fact that it gives +1 to all skills in itself is amazing (increasing web spray/corrosive/barrage is huge).

Pym's Shrinking Serum- I use this for trash/rushing bosses. Combined with Mahts and I never run out of spirit.

INSIGNIA
Eric O' Grady- This now procs on every crit and it even stacks with other "Eric O' Gradys". Highest DPS insignia for us.

RELIC
Relic of Lemuria- One of the best scaling relics, Xandar doesn't compete... just use Lemuria!

MEDALLION
Mandarin Medallion- Web barrage is SO good when combined with a proc build, the fact that the rate of fire is so high, means that this medallion will more than double the DPS from web barrage. Try for a 4% on all, but prioritize the dmg ones over the freeze/charm if you have to, also cosmic one would be great as well.

COSTUME CORE
1% Life Leech- This one is great, and I still consider it a must for "almost" every hero, especially since we max out strength/fighting with our helm...

Remaining affix (Personal Choice)- There are a few options here; Energy Projection (increased dmg on mandarin procs/corrosive DOT), 2 sec Invuln, 25% HP/Spirit.

COSTUME AFFIXES
+Dmg or +Dmg to targets attacking you- So if you are min/maxing your stats and are trying to set some records... the +dmg to targets attacking you will win out. However if you run with groups and are not always solo, the +dmg will win out. You can just roll 2 costumes like I did, and switch them out depending on your situation

SYNERGIES
Daredevil, Emma, Iron-Man, Jean Grey, Luke Cage, Scarlet Witch, Squirrel Girl, Thing, Hawkeye, Ms Marvel

Remember that 3 of the Mandarin procs are energy based and will benefit from IM/JG/MsM.

Daredevil/ Squirrel Girl are a must for every build.

Scarlet Witch will benefit your corrosive as well as the Mandarin DOTs

So I did all this at work, and will be updating/reformatting this tomorrow. If I forgot anything or you have specific questions, just let me know! Happy hunting!
