First of all, I only group on my merc/ff. since the ranged pets change it has been quite fun. Bubbles is ok with serious IOing and dependent on the Def Auras Dark is tried and true. slot for tohit debuff, slot those def aura IOs. call yourself shadowshots or shadowshotz or whatever the namegame is on your server Mercs just dont synergize well with anything and i only had fun with /ff

The thread is about speed task forces. people jumping around to objectives and moving on is the point. softcapping to effectively do this is key. If you are taking other situations not related to speed TFs then thats on you. Stay on target soldier.

And speedrunning isnt the only way to run TFs, but if you are, softcapping is key

By being a stronger build do you mean a softcapped def built any other AT? just showing up with your secondary and pretending to be useful is shameful meanwhile the other ATs are coming out swinging with both their primary and secondary. They are softcapped and good to go just wrecking shit They do not need your secondary if they are speeding. And if you know you are not needed because "eh the games easy anyways" why show up and take a spot when you can sit in a firefarm for better rewards? Masterminds are weak on speed TFs, cold hard truth. I hate it, but its true.

what

able =/= willing. stop writing books to lie and sum up your posts using only the truth

Your posts are just too long to read to debate on something I already know. I am not even going to give you a notification by quoting you this time just because damn son. Just dont join speed TFs as a MM and since leveling is easy have another alt gtg

Remember this word when you yourself realize you are not needed and just kinda there when all the brute/scrap/corr/stalk/blast are just annihilating mission objectives meanwhile MMs are left in the dust and when its AV time you are spending 5-10 precious seconds summoning, hoping they dont die, buffing and whatnot. I understand people hate being told "no" and other variants of it these days, but sad fact, my favorite AT in this game that means a lot to me are trash for speed TFs

You also need the resist on top of def which just isnt doable solo. you can softcap def you can softcap fire res but you cant really do both. Now another thing is lots of pet aoe is cone based, when you get surrounded they cant aoe properly and just make a /fire brute.

Why not just get into an AE mission that locks you at X level? itll exemp you down you wont ever get auto logged out others can join you and leave as they please since AE's task force mode is different multiple AE buildings so never have to travel far But do have it eventlike where everyone and everything is the same level would destroy the need for progression. I am sure there is probably missions out there in a single room with a little clicky to finish made just to exemp people down. Also future apology when you do this: sorry you didnt respec properly and took 3 travel powers and tough/weave before 20

i have this weird feeling you already formed an opinion and a solution to your own question before posting and this is just plain weird

Team Teleport or you just dont join any "speed" tf. sad but true. masterminds are not a speed archetype. one might be able to attain this if the player has stealth+stealth io/invis AND grant invis for pets but between stealth/invis suppression you might not even get a chance to get re-invis from adds and such. meanwhile brutes and other ATs can kill and barrel through a sea of enemies to the objective. saying again, masterminds are not a "speed tf" archetype. unless you kill your pets until the AV in which case you were not really needed in the first place or just not worth it from all the summoning/resummoning/etc. --- Also from what I understand Masterminds are a horrifically hard archetype to code/program and I personally do not see a fix to any of this to MMs in the near future on any server. Form your own groups, use words like 'kill thru/plow/kill as we go' when recruiting. and if someone goes rogue, boot/warn/remake. I love my 13 or so masterminds but I know that speed task forces automatically lock me out of being optimal and i might as well doorsit on a firefarm.

https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Pain_Domination#Painbringer Huh, so I was

This only really applies to low level task forces and groups. Pet number increases are 6(t1), 18(t1) and 24(t2) This would allow a third tier1 in positron/dib, and a second tier2 in synapes/virgil

GIVE OBSIDIAN SHIELD NEG ENERGY RESISTS ALREADY Also its literally fine, its just doesnt have [Dark Burn]. Also I think years ago they meant to have toggles and such to be used smartly god dman i got bored typing this too just go fire armor and recolor everything dark and enjoy

Melee tactical units. By that StJ/"invul" meaning armor. s/l 15-20%, everything else 5-10% i got bored typing this i know most suggestions just go in the trash fuck

+rech or -rech does not effect pets abilities in any way, any power, any how, any time, any when, any any. the other effects, sure.

roman farm lf incarnates will doorsit

Been teleporting more recently. Plus this would also minorly help ranged people or even melee who wants to pull that target thats kinda far away but not really with their 40+ powers

Theme idea for a few Masterminds, but refreshing it 6 times every 2 minutes is getting to me

Alpha: Extends to Pets, also level shift Interface: Extends to Pets - EXTREME OPTIMIZATION WARNING THE INTERFACE DAMAGE OVER TIME PROC(75%) HAS A CHANCE TO HAPPEN FROM ALL PETS LEAVING THIS THE MOST GAME ALTERING GAME BREAKING GAME BOOSTING MAXIMIZING EFFECT AVAILABLE TO ALL MASTERMINDS IN THE INCARNATE POWERS IF YOU HAVE DEBUFFS SWITCH NOW, ACCEPT DOT PROC INTERFACE. Fire least resisted Judgement: neat to have Destiny: Extends to Pets, also level shift Lore: Does not extend to pets. Even the Knives of Veng aoe buff does not apply to pets, but they get the level shift Hybrid: SUPPORT only, infact pets get extra benefit from the buff. I cannot stress enough how much the Interface DoT effects helps all mastermind damage.

KB to KD =/= repel. Believe me if the HC devs ever come up with a -repel IO I will start singing praise of Storm. but until then KoS

Try a fire/ice/water Corr with /storm. skip hurricane, dont use gale. stack those rain powers Slap KB to KD in Tornado and Lightning Storm for more dots and then perma hasten for more dots while you dot freezing rain + rain of fire + tornadox2 + lightning stormx2 on say an AV is just balls amazing. and regular every day trash being under freezing rain + rain of fire is mind blowing, and even more afterwards when SCOURGE starts kicking in on rain of fire. and if you go ice/storm you can stack THREE RAINS FOR EVEN MORE SCOURGE While the contrarians will disagree, storm is bad for group play and its really meh to keep pets alive in either a large group or large enemy spawn situation. but if you just wanna solo on low settings, cant stop ya

If solo, you might have a decent time. But in groups people will probably kick you on sight for having hurricane on, and without hurricane your pets might die easily. Consider /cold, /dark or /time. With power recoloring and stuff you can easily get away with /time looking like /storm without pissing off the silent majority

just leave and make another one
