Jean Grey manifested her mutant psychic abilities at an early age, and was subsequently sent to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters to learn control over her powers.Marvel Source
As a founding member of the X-Men, she's spent most of her life as a hero and has the calm confidence of a seasoned pro.
When Jean served as an avatar for the Phoenix Force, an immensely powerful entity of death and rebirth, her powers were greatly enhanced. Although she no longer operates on that scale, her telepathic and telekinetic abilities make her a formidable opponent.
The Rundown:
First and foremost, in "Jean-mode" activate . Crit makes everybody happier.
Now go ahead and use and follow up with . This will be your cruise control for killing the bad guys. You shouldn't really have a Phoenix Force issue at this point.
When you see a larger group and want to save on some health (damage absorption) and do some more damage, use . Remember that when this spell is active, Jean's Phoenix Force will deplete at a faster rate. I tend to use this when I know there will be baddies to take down in great quantities.
If you want to zoom your way through areas (and who doesn't?), make use of . This is also good for kicking baddies and taking names.
You might want to toss in a few spells while you're flying around as a giant, flaming AOE birdy, sooooooo:
Make good use of . This slows down the minions AND does damage! What's not to like?
If things start to get rough, use . This'll shove whoever is in your face away. It's a nice coupling with the slow DoT. Good for recovery, if needed.
Lastly, your basic "pew pew" attacks. and .
Jean's Bolt isn't bad and has a pretty solid rate of speed, and the Hammer has a chance to stun with just a tad more damage. Use these for single target goodness.
If you were curious about the passive abilities...
/ / .
They add a little more chance for crit damage and make your spirit and force stay in the green (or blue...I suppose). Rebirth is good when you... well, die.
And there you have it. That's the "Never Ending Phoenix" build and mild description.
Please enjoy using the build (if you chose to do so) and make tweak or changes as you see fit. Make it comfortable for you!
See you in-game and enjoy saving the Marvel Universe!
