Two brothers, one struggle
Regardless of where I place him among his fellow mutants, though, I am really happy that he got buffed. I've had my 6* for a long time and I've always kind of thought that he had great damage potential under the right circumstances. It's just that those circumstances were so very specific that he wasn't really viable in most matches, and his self-destruction just sucked. Those things were all addressed and I think he will be more usable going forward, so I'm pleased with how things turned out.
The one thing I'm a bit confused about is why they removed his SP1 utility of allowing you to bypass certain nodes. I don't remember exactly how it was worded but I seem to remember Steady Release circumventing stuff like Thorns and Electro's Static Shock. I don't think it does so anymore.
But I'll have to play around more. Maybe I've missed something and that utility is still there somewhere, somehow.
The comparisons you made are so minuscule, such as unblockable sp 2s, and the apoc point is barely a comparison because you barely use apoc for the parry immunity, except for this eq overseer.
He may have *some* similarities, but he doesn’t have the evade counter of apoc, stryfe, prof x etc.
He doesn’t reduce aa like mags and aa can.
He doesn’t counter damage back like stryfe and prof x.
He doesn’t counter purify if it’s not stun, like apoc can.
He doesn’t have the immunities of colossus.
And he sure as hell can’t counter unblockable and unstoppable like stryfe can.
His access to dot is worse than apoc and aa.
It seems to me like he lacks the actual super useful bits of utility from most of the mutant top tiers.
Mangog has the stagger and power steal like doom does and has insane immunities like Claire… I don’t see him being top of the mystic class?
And the stuff he does take isn’t that great for the most part (with some exceptions being energy resistance and the stun purify punish). He’s far from best because he takes some of the more insignificant stuff from actual meta defining mutants.
I like the Bishop buff a lot. I am not going to sit here and say he’s the top mutant, mainly because I don’t believe there is a single top mutant. The best of them all have their uses in different pieces of content. Bishop’s buff has given him several more uses than he had before and has made him viable throughout the game. That’s good enough for me.
