When Reed Richards finished his experimental starship and wanted to take it on an unsanctioned test flight, his college buddy (and former USAF pilot) Ben Grimm agreed to fly it. Together with Richards' girlfriend Sue Storm and her brother Johnny, Ben and Reed launched into space, where they were exposed to unprecedented levels of cosmic radiation.Marvel Source
The radiation triggered mutagenic changes in each of the four passengers. In Grimm's case, he became a brutish creature with orange, rocky skin. Sue's description of him as a "thing" stuck as his heroic nickname, and Thing became a founding member of the Fantastic Four.
Basic - over the others because, as a DPS build, only gives you critical on that ability, where as gives you damage to every other ability, including itself. You'll use this when you're out of spirit or when your feeling lazy.
STSS (single target spirit spender) - I know Ben's unique's tend to lend to but its a single target spell with a ridiculous spirit cost for dmg done. hits all targets and does the same damage, and costs less spirit. Done done and done.
- This is your opener. Keeps enemies off balance and gives you a chance to....
- It does massive dmg, yes it costs a lot, but by the time the cool down runs out you've recouped your spirit. More dmg per spirit than Rockslide charge, and gives you a bit of mobility.
- Because, Health. And Defense. Why not.
- A one point wonder for me. I use it, but i'm not all that heart broken when it runs out. Just recast and continue smashing things.
and are both 1 pointers. You don't want stuff focusing on you in this build, but the extra damage when they do is nice. Put a point in and let your gear pull them up.
The only other one pointer is . Until they take this away from us, its great for when doom starts spewing blue balls at you, or when Rhino charges when your Leap is on cooldown. Just put up your dukes and take it like a man. Well, like a rock man.
Only put in enough points so that the duration lasts longer than the cooldown.
Because you're focusing on dealing out the most damage, max this ability. Your group mates will love it and you.
Here's hoping you have fun with thing until his rework!
