I want to add to this, considering I feel like I'm the one that dealt the particular beam that sparked this post. I'm rpl 202. I have a hidden and a unique. Taking that into consideration, I use invig and wild nature. That's a 30% ap boost bringing my power up to 367. On a crit, yes it absolutely does deal roughly half hp. On the other hand, I consistently land this combo and it doesn't crit as often as you think it would, even with over 40% crit. Typically it will deal around 1/4th hp unless someone blocks.

I will say again...Cosmic beam does not do that much damage naturally. Cosmic by itself is not that broken at all, aside from maybe meteor + dash combo.

lol just walk next to the rpb wall and you've defeated meteor

I'd also like to add that even though I'm not very good and my build is A) suboptimal by a large margin because I picked stuff with good IC that doesn't help melee and B) has 100 less pow than hers on a max damage combo, I have gone to the 5th round with Meia in an extremely close final round and I lost largely because I'm bad.

There is no reason to believe this build is that broken if I can match it with that kind of performance. I am reasonably confident that if I practice more and can work past my RPB jitters I will be able to trade battles 50/50 with strong cosmic mages even with Armed/Barrier having low synergy, specifically because the combos are always the same (and thus can be predicted and punished).

I think Cosmic is strong and have complained about it being my weakest matchup, but I play Armed. Armed naturally suffers against a magic that wants to be up close to me to hurt me. Someone who can afford to kite them has a stronger advantage and a much more favorable matchup.

The issue is that the meteor stuns, so the chances of you hitting your beam increase a lot, it'd kind of like the whole meteor + whip combo but it isn't guaranteed

[ferrettamer]

i do not feel as though that is significantly different from the other 2-4 versions of that combo which are fairly easily accessible

water dragon's roar does 4 damage, so couldn't you theoretically just do the whole whip stun thing into the beam as well.........



oh my god what have i done, nerf water

Roar of the Sea Dragon is a master.. Nova ray is a basic. 

Roar of the Sea Dragon 10rpp, 25 sec CD, 12 range, 4 damage. 

Nova Ray is 10rpp, 25 sec CD, 12 range, 3.5 damage. 

Water does not need to be nerfed here.

energy beam is 5 damage
