Bruce Banner worked as a scientist on the gamma bomb project when he heroically saved a young man from exposure to a nuclear blast. Unfortunately, the exposure to gamma radiation changed Banner's cell structure, causing him to transform into a raging green monster (known as the Hulk) when he became angry.Marvel Source
Over the years, the Hulk has acted as hero, villain, or pure destructive force depending on his state of mind.
Through it all, Banner continues to search for a cure that would end his deadly rampages.
Gear
Slot 1 – Always Angry (Hulk Unique) - Damage, crit, attack speed, brutal damage, brutal rating, +a ton to all of our Punchy (Violence) powers. Gamma Strike and Brutal Swing will really benefit from this Unique, so we love it. Plus those other stats are amazin'
Slot 2 – Eye of the Eggbreaker (Hulk Unique) or Warbound Armor of the Green Skaar (Hulk Unique). Both give +1 to all powers, so no help there. Eye of the Eggbreaker makes you super tanky, Warbound armor gives some modest damage rating and a few random buffs. Chance for +damage to power and chance to get beefier and tougher. However, since the Warbound Armor gives Area radius-I like it since we use Avalanche Leap. The damage rating is also nice!
Slot 3 – Love of Caiera the Oldstrong (Hulk Unique) - This thing is epic. It has decent stats and grants you Hulk Fast and Hulk Mad at ludicrous levels. I would leave them where this item grants unless you're really hurting for more. Thank you @Ulb !
Slot 4 – Skaaran Gladatorial Belt (Hulk Unique) - So we don't really like some of the +powers, but the decent stats and the +to Wreckage is fantastic. Really helps our jumpy jumpy smash build, so we're going to take it and love it. With this and the Warbound armor, we're at around +22% extra radius for our jumps! Those tremors will hit everything pretty hard!
Slot 5 – Anger Management System (Hulk Unique) - Some decent +powers, good stats, and another item with modest flat damage on it. Gives us essentially 3 weapons with Warbound armor, I'd take it.
Artifacts
Advanced Crimson Crystal of Cyttorak - Health/Damage w00t!
Advanced Meta Sensory Array + to powers, more attack speed and damage
Hand of Doom
Xerogen Crystal or Ziggurat of Kargul - crit and crit damage, he is going to be attacking -really- fast once we get him decked out. Regular Meta - Moar +1 powers. We want to get his stuff as high as possible since his passives and actives synergize well together.
Other
Blessings: Helas or Odin. Hulk makes use of the same stuff everyone else does.
Costume: +1 Fighting +1 Strength if you can.
Insignia: O'Grady, I dunno. Damage. Moar damage.
Legendary: Tough choice here. its probably between Excalibur and Gungir as per the usual, Norn Stones might be good post-stat rework in the future.
Medallion: I like Kingpin here. Melee damage and more health? Sold.
Relics: Take Lemurias probs. I also like Snakeroot on him because he's really slow. I only ever recommend Utility relics because I can get 100 damage anywhere, but its hard to get lots of lifesteal and such. Gibborim if you can't hippity-hop as much.
Leveling Strategy
We are going to have to respec. At early levels we won't be able to do the jump combo and Gamma Strike so we'll need Ground Smash (AOE around us, knocks targets down) and Vicious Headbutt (single target shredder, deals more damage to knocked down targets). This combo will easily get us to the 30's, where we respec into jumping around. From there the build works as intended, and the earlier you can get a Love of Caiera the Oldstrong, the easier it'll be to prioritize active abilities over passives. I recommend as you level doing every quest on him that gives you power points.
Playstyle
A. Demolishing Charge into enemies
B. Make bad Hulk jokes: **HULK LIKES TO WATCH SITCOM - HULK M.A.S.H.
C. Earthquake Leap to bring 'em in
D. Avalanche to knock em down
E. Gamma Strike takes out bosses and big bads.
Pretty simple overall! We really just want to abuse that Anger mechanic, so hit Get Angry when you need a boost!
