I'd rather some sort of frontline fighter MM... something like removing the MM's own attacks from the pet sets, replace them with theme-appropriate general armor toggles, then give them a melee or assault secondary, (or maybe blaster manipulation sets for flavor)?

That's where the "clever binds" come into play - by using a carefully placed + you can have 1 key target your nearest living minion and fire off one of the chaining powers, but to each their own...

Elec secondary makes the most sense to me, IMHO. Faraday cage is good, has a relatively short recharge, and with some clever binds, you can maximize the chaining buffs...

I wonder how difficult/feasible it would be to have it where, upon freeing the hostage, all players on a team are granted a temp power that, then toggled on, suppresses all stealth for that person...

Another I think turned out rather nicely - "X-Cise":

Maybe my connection's wonky, who knows?

Really love this one, and the way the chest detail blends seemlessly into the chest pattern is a great touch, (that I may have to borrow )!

Aaaaand we're back! XD

Agreed that Arachnos have melee & ranged, but only of a very specific variety, (AR or spider limbs), but if you want something besides that, maybe Dominators with their assault secondaries...

Like assault rifle?

I mean, it's more like a munitions assault set, (dominator secondary), IMHO...

She saved and saved and when she had enough, she sent away for a "Real Genuine Soul Jar", in hopes of being able to raise the dead. Instead, she got some boring "energy parasite" thing that whispers in her head. On the plus side, it claims she'll be able to "sort of" raise the dead if she works real hard, (which mostly amounts to blasting bad guys). She's "Necro Nami-chan":

Love this one! I get this weird mix of cute meets cheeky. Kind of reminds me of Teenage Robot. Cheer!

You'd almost need a new secondary that sort of split the difference regarding additional melee attacks and self-support to survivabiltiy tools... What if we went silly with this idea; Blaster manipulation sets as BOTH the primary AND secondary, only you can't pick the same one twice???

I don't know if you'd call this a luck-based set or something different, but the idea is this - all your ally-targeting powers actually require a tohit check against that target. Whether you hit or miss, (and by how much if that's possible), determines which effects you generate. Further, the set could include a build-up like power, or perhaps a toggle, that allows you to invert whether a hit or miss determines the effect. I was thinking this set could focus on some neat abilities - like maybe some ability to grant allies temporary crits, or perhaps even fun stuff like utilizing the mirror option for phantom army to create temporary duplicates of allies. It could grant absorb and maybe even generate some sort of draw-in or reverse-repel effect seen in battle axe. You could have a rare effect that simply opens a rift to summon a Lusca tentacle to deliver a whack...

Awesome! I had actually made a New Vegas themed outfit for Sparkwright:
