remove -spd and make the fire/cold toggle a +def instead of resist

Bumping because while the Ice Stomp power got some damage in the PTR I feel that once given an inch, an attempt for a mile is guaranteed. Blaster Shiver is a shorter range and smaller diameter and self balancing if damage is added to it also available at a lower level as a bonus for those of us who spend lots of time sub 30

Screw my fire/arrow corr. fire/arrow blaster all the way now. Everything must burn. And burn some more. and flame epic pool to make burn more.

Hurricane still Repels. If the devs ever make a -repel IO believe me i will be the ninja naruto storm kick man master and other runon descriptions for other mastermind primaries. also 3 month old post.

Every Incarnate is Magic origin, no reason to change things up when everything in the end is Magic

Add damage to Shiver and Frozen Aura, moderate Maybe bump Freezing Touch's damage up to Superior or High

Pretty much this, with enough alts you can pool emp merits and +3 out as fast as you can craft after hitting 50. Tier3 incarnate abilities are good enough for me, rest gets pooled

And the amount of time fighting AVs (and pylons) is probably less than 1% of the game. Its not City of Pylons. Its City of Running around wiping out hoards of minions and leaping from group to group. What you are doing is like a Fire Brute coming up to you saying how fast he can kill off a firefarm and you should take whatever he says as fact without question.

This is not world of warcraft with all the little rogues beating up a test dummy. Most of this game will not stand still waiting for you to kill it. Most of this game has travel time between enemies and at high levels pets will have a hard time catching up. Pylons are for bragging rights, not the meter stick on how everyone is judged.

I am not reading all of that. You read this however.

able=/=willing Just because they took the time does not mean everyone is willing to take the time. Note, the book of world records does not record the worlds largest/longest turd because they are just flat out not interested Above statement may or may not be relevant in the 10 or so years since that South Park episode aired. I try to edit my posts to be strait and to the point as I can for others. While you may go through my history to find an abnormality, many people forget the readers in favor of themselves. However, in the spirit of goodness and the original poster, i still stand by my original post on his help to be the strongest mastermind available to the Homecoming servers status. And if you disagree, please keep your posts to a readable length to the average reader.

On a literal game mechanical level, masterminds are weaker than the other archetypes. As much as I love the AT from live and kinda sorta now, I know their limitations. There is nothing to challenge when it is a cold hard fact and folks anecdotal rebuttals will not change my mind. And if I can open up their accounts like a book, I bet most will have more brutes and blasters over masterminds. While they still claim to like masterminds, of course. This game is easy enough to have fun, but if I wanna min/max, I wont go mastermind.

Fire. if it had fire shield it would be top tier but without it, its shit.

I stopped reading right here. One the post is just too long and you keep your aura buffing IOs even when you exemp down. And masterminds being weak as they are you need all your slots to just keep up even in lower level stuff. You may argue this all you want, but there is a reason the monthly Archetype reports has them in the lowest population brackets. Please do not write a book to disagree. Just say Disagree please.

You made me log in and check because the OP title scared the crap out of me. And I am not seeing any suppression, if anything they added some Flight Control and I am drifting less and accelerating/decelerating much faster in Nova form

MMs like doms are a level 50 only class. Or late bloomer if thats less offensive. You need all your slots, you need unique IO buffs, you need hamis. Oh and Inf because hamis are getting more expensive. If you are leveling up on your own without farming then good luck to you. Thugs slotting: 2 acc/dmg hamis, 1 acc/dmg/end IO (any), 1 raw end IO, 2 unique IO aura buffs Enforcers slotting: 2 acc/dmg hamis, 1 acc/dmg/end IO (any), 2 cytoskeletons (end/def/tohit), 1 lotg 7.5% - this maximizes defense and pet end consumption, tohit is a bonus Bruiser: Same as thugs Gang War: I never take it because its cute, they die easily and most of the time they are idle because pets cant go through one another and theres only so much room. its painful to watch the melee tweak out trying to melee, but cant. Can also be taken just to be an IO mule. Like using 3-4 slots to frankenslot acc/dmg/rech and the remaining for unique IOs or procs Your secondary is up to you. But /traps is your only option if you want to stay Natural Web nade needs its base slot only, acc/mez hami Caltrops only needs 2 rech, later on when your arsonist gets its fire patches itll keep stuff in them Triage beaon is up to you, i slapped 5/6 doc wounds in it, rarely gets used to full duration. I get more use out of Aid Other Acid Mortar is cool with 1 acc 2 rech FF Gen I slotted 2 def, 1 lotg 7.5% Poison Trap 2 rech Drones and mine skip. Drones are only good for taking the alpha strike in groups, you will never have enough time to set up a mine unless solo Detonator is up to you. Note the Bruiser's Fury will boost its damage, or any inspirations on whatever pet you want, oh and pet level is also a factor. IE a bruiser will always do more base damage over say, the arsonist. The pet will always die Because of traps light need for slots I had plenty of room for the pistol attacks, you wont always be setting up traps and downtime is a thing Power Pools are: Leadership for Maneuvers as early as I could fit it in, and Assault later on Hasten was taken in the 40s Travel power of your choice Medicine And Black Scorp patron. Power Boost wont effect traps but the +def toggle stacks nicely with FFGen

The mentality "if its not the best, dont do it" is where people skipping MM attacks comes from. Check out the damage from personal attacks and your pets attacks. In most cases your attacks do more damage than a tier1 minion. Moreso if you go with high recharge. Please keep in mind no +rech effects pets powers and you can easily attack twice before your pet recharges its powers. Soldiers, demonlings, etc tend to have a noticeable amount of downtime Now im sure you know that Time's Juncture is a PBAoE around you, so being in melee wont be an issue for Lash and Crack Whip Tactics is just not needed unless you plan on fighting +6s or so quite often. Itrials and such bump MM pet levels up. Far Sight, and its power boosted version is total overkill in the Tohit department. I personally never rolled /Time, but my Demon/Thermal had plenty of powers and slots for attacks and all support stuff while having room for all the Unique IOs for def/res

Turn Voltanic Sentinel into Frozen Orb from Diablo2. an entity that just travels out shiitting out little bits of damage in any direction. give it like 4-6 minor damage ball lightning powers so its always throwing something out without worry if it running out of attacks. I dunno if Pseudo pets can move from point A to point B without player interaction but you get the idea. With that idea out there, Short Circuit (blas, cor, def) can get revamped into a single target ability to make up for the lack of ranged attacks you hear now and again and stop most of you from trying to take away sents little quirks

Add an extra tick to Burst Beanbag to Moderate or High damage Flamethrower to 16 targets and faster animation Full Auto to hit 16 targets to bring it in line with other nukes Still balanced by mostly lethal damage.

I feel that turning Reconstruction into a heal over time like Nature/Time heals would make the set feel more Regenlike. Either Toggle HoT, or upfront heal+HoT or just a strait up click HoT. Either way having a renewable insp is kinda meh. And stupid levels of -regen resist like SR can easily cap def debuff resist by itself. slap that into Fast Healing(or metabolism) or just spread it out more.

because when you pound down insta killing minions and lts and leaving a nasty -resist on whatever bosses are left, no ones ganna care about the 20-40 damage that mighta coulda shoulda woulda possibly been. maybe.

5/6 obliteration minus proc

Unsure if a lit oil slick still causes fear in pets still. be warned

All this means giving up fire shield, fireball and rise of the phoenix.

If true, stacking +dmg or doublehit?
