In the game chat, I suggested we hold for a week. It's not likely we'll be able to hit 160k every week, and if we open every week, we'll likely never hit the milestone for the extra shards etc.
If everyone wants to open, I'm fine with it, but that was my suggestion.

Is that still a loss? After the update, arena fights that end on a crash/kick are restarted.

So my phone is 100% done now. Wouldn't turn on at all and i pulled the screen off in some stupid spat of anger/thinking I could magically fix it. I'll try to download later on my wife's old phone (now my son's for Disney Jr app) so I can at least get my duels in. I'll be on sporadically if possible until my new phone on Sunday. Thankfully I was able to dupe my 4* Strange before it completely died. Can't wait to test that sucker out.
When I went back in it said I had zero left and had given me just 5 pts for starting a match. Guessing it was one off issue as it was after the big game crash and forved me to redownload the game.

I tried looking back in this thread and it's possible i missed it but couldn't find anything relating to the best combination to use your mastery points on.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this or perhaps a link?
I still have a lot of unused mastery points from when there was the change months ago and figured it probably makes sense to put them to use (or perhaps redo what I've done already).
This is what I have now (knowing full well this might be crap):
Offense
3/9 - Strength
1/9 - Greater Strength
1/3 - Courage
Defense
5/9 - Vitality
2/9 - Greater Vitality
1/4 - Block Proficiency
Utility
1/5 - Limber
16 mastery points unused
Thanks!

My mastery setup is:
Offense
- Strength 1/9
- Greater Strength 1/9
- Courage 3/3
- Pierce 3/3
- Lesser Cruelty 5/5
- Lesser Precision 5/5
Defense
- Vitality 1/9
- Greater Vitality 9/9
- Block Proficiency 1/4
- Perfect Block 4/4
- Stand Your Ground 5/5
Utility
- Limber 1/5
- Dexterity 3/3
- Parry 1/3
1 point unused.
I probably should reset defense as I don't really need 5 or any points for Stand Your Ground or Perfect Block since I use Dexterity and dash back and forth.

I'm semi-following what Doc JC uses. Right now I'm saving up to unlock Precision. My PI has gone up a ton using these. PI isn't everything of course but it fits my playing style pretty well I think. For instance, I picked up Salve since I think it is more useful for AQs and story quests. Not so much for arena which I rarely do. Also a lot of my 4 stars use stun so I've maxed Parry and Stupefy so far. Not sure if I will go for Petrify and Pacify, maybe down the line.

If I could choose only 1 mastery for you to get, without a doubt it would be Dexterity. Master using it and you can beat opponents and take 0 damage.
Also before you add any more, I would reset your masteries and take those points out of Strength and Vitality and put them to use elsewhere. Just do the minimum in those to unlock the better masteries.

Do this and follow the model above in the pictures. Your PI will go through the rough and you'll notice a huge change in how well your guys do

I also posted this on the chat but I have been doing the first fight over and over in Act 4 and there seems to be a small energy and a full one on the same path now every time. Ive done this 5x in a row and they're always in the same place allowing me to just do the quest over and over. Check it out to see if it works for you as well
**UPDATE** Was able to do this 10x before the energy refill didn't appear

Other than maybe the crazy expensive ones I'll never bother with, dexterity is the single best mastery. I just unlocked cruelty to 4/5 the other day. It was a huge PI boost, and when you get a bunch of crit hits it can end a fight rather quickly. Especially with a duped 4/40 hulk with fury on

I've got a few unused Mastery points. I guess I should take a better look at those links.

I'm doubting what to do with my units... Got almost 2500, and doubting between:
- taking the 4* crystal offer when it comes up. Last 3 of them were dupes so i'm not sure to take the offer since it might be a dupe again, and getting 4*'s from arena's lately without problems
- using them in arena to reduce the arena grinding time. I think i need a few hundred per arena to save a few hours. So don't need a big load of units for that
- improve masteries, i want cruelty and willpower. Willpower will take about 2200 units, Cruelty around 800 i guess. Not sure if this investment is worth it?
- against all odds buy crystals and hope for the best (living on the edge baby!)
Any suggestions/ideas?

I'd waver between buying the 4star offer and the masteries. From what I read, willpower is powerful, and should help in AQ and the new story quests.
I'd probably rank these choices
1. Masteries
2. 4star
3. crystals
4. refresh ( unless you're pushing hard for a top 400 ranking or better )

I don't have willpower and doubt I'll ever bother with it. I just invested in crelty and have it at 4/5 now that I hit level 50. I'll probably redo my masteries to get it to 5/5 rather than wait for another mastery point. The PI boost has been huge already, and the increased crit hits are awesome. In theory, cruelty will lessen arena grind time as your points per match will increase with the increased PI.

Eh. First catalyst arena i used around 120-150 units which was overkill as i finished way early. Second one I used like 60 and still finished early. Woot has a lot more teams than i do so I doubt he needs to use any for those.
Will definitely go for cruelty then. PI increases will give more arena points thus decrease arena time (of get a higher ranking).
Willpower is really nice, but to be honest i don't lose matches in arena's. Maybe max 5 single fights in 200+ streak. It will be useful for quests and RoL however. Will be doing willpower later.
Refreshes for cat arena is not needed. Getting almost 200k per run (12 teams), 6 runs is enough. If I push it i can hit 1.5mil in a single day. The 3 day arena is time consuming, and my target is 3 mil. I'd like to hit that 3mil in less runs (or with less waiting time in between), units will decrease the waiting time = finish earlier, cruelty will increase the points i get = less runs.
Don't know how in how much more points per run cruelty gives, will try that out.

Cruelty added over 100 PI to most of my big guns and its not even maxed yet. Its not gonna be a huge boost to the scores of individual fights, but it should definitely add up over the course of a 3 day arena.

Remind me what Cruelty does? Don't have the phone handy and I'm too lazy to go online and look.

Ah. Okay. Thanks. Thought that was something else. Hell, I need to to swap things around. Even some of my maxed 3*s should hit like a truck with that. My duped 4* Spidey seems to crit like mad, so it may ramp him up a couple notches as well.
If you recover the mastery points you get back the Stoney Cores, but not the gold/credits, correct?

My top rank is 972, need to almost double that score to get into the top 400, madness... would be nice though.
To get Inequity and Resonate i need to pull my wallet (and don't want that)... grinding for enough units will take like forever, lol.
You don't get anything back. The masteries will remain unlocked, but have to pay (gold/units) for each level again, even if you had them before.
Mr. Yuk

In your shoes, I think I wiould go with the masteries. You've got enough 4s and can get more without much issue. I think the masteries make it more fun to play, and should also make grinding quicker/easier.

Masteries are IMO by far the better investment. Will power is great and worth it if you wanted to go that way. Helps in both AQ and Arenas.

What I meant was that my cores don't get eaten. So, it sounds like it is what I recalled. Good deal.
Is there a chart of something online someplace that outlines how many units/etc are needed for leveling masteries? Been looking for a while and have found nothing.
Here you go: http://community.kabam.com/forums/showthread.php?562852-Concrete-stats-on-increasing-PI-through-Masteries
Don't know how accurate/complete it is, but from what i've checked seems to be correct
Update on cruelty, it sure does deal some great damage! Tested with some fights and really makes a difference.
I've just rest defense masteries only, PI increased with 72 from my prev setup. Still have 6 mastery points left (5 more then before), now decide what to do with them. Got about 1200 units left.

I would have gone with Willpower personally. With the knowledge of these masteries, I actually regret that I bought a 4* crystal about a month ago. I am saving up my units again to put towards masteries, but will probably take Cruelty first as the immediate boost is welcome, but if I already had the units for Willpower I would have just gone for it. Saving up 800 for Cruelty is a lot more manageable. While PHC shards are a bit of a negative, the 4* shards have made getting new 4* champs significantly easier
As said it the chat that really sucks.
I didnt play much the last 12 hours, still ranked 541 with 3.48mil. last few times i played less matches (about 50 matches) and got near the same score.
I think participation dropped due to the T4 arena, whilst Elektra is a new character. Cant find an other reason for this rank, its near 2x higher then normal. Need to check this with next T4 arena, might be the right time for others to win 4* champs since cutoffs are lower

I might have been wrong about this, going to double check tonight/tomorrow.That blows. I did that frequently as well.Used to be able to start a catalyst run and then finish it the next day. Not anymore
Forgot to post yesterday, but I fell asleep Sat night doing the easy side of the Tier 2 Tech. Woke up the next morning and it let me finish it.I might have been wrong about this, going to double check tonight/tomorrow.That blows.

My guess is there is a time limit on how long you can go back before it resets.

If we were all the same time zone, and all on at the same time I think buddies would work. But having a partner with the opposite classes as me only works if we are both moving down the path at the same time. If I take fight 1 and then wait for my buddy to logon and do fight 2 it is wasting time, then we end up having to wait for the team on path #2 to clear nodes for us.(HULK) said:
Maybe we set up teams with each team having 3-4 guys that are always on right away to start the group and get the first buffs down in each path, then 3-4 guys who normally login in the evenings to finish the paths? No set partners, just look at which path gives you the class advantage
It would also be nice if we can get the teams grouped where we can get group 3 started almost right away so they aren't always 2 hours behind.

According to the links above it raises PI a ton
Looks like the highest % besides the second level of Stand your ground

I was working on this yesterday and today. I ended up figuring a top 4 for each group, MJ is going to post it on the general board and I'll post here. The guys I assigned either have a 4* 4-40, multiple duped 4s, and/or are just generally more active with the AQs. Tried to spread out classes as evenly as possible. The guys in group 3 generally like to join later so putting them in group 3 instead of 1 or 2.
Everyone else can spread out evenly. The problem with trying to assign EVERYONE to a specific group is in unlocking groups 2 and 3 imo. We can't nail down everyone's schedules exactly all the time, and if too many guys assigned to group 1 and then 2 don't show up for a while then we're screwed in getting all maps started.
Feel free to comment or make any suggestions but let's try this for the next map-
Group 1
Woot
Buckna
Casa
Khaz
Group 2
Mj
Foos
Four
Ballah
Group 3
Ten
Hulk
Beelz
