Thank you both very much for the detailed advice, really appreciate it! I'm definitely feeling the struggle of trying to fit 6 auras + KB>KD into 3 powers and still slotting for everything else you want 😅 Sounds like going for acc/dam first and defence second is the way to go like you suggest tidge, but it's interesting to know that with the budget for top-level enhancements you can do both...! The detail on accuracy slotting is v useful as well Maelwys, thanks!

Hi all, First time poster here, I was very excited to find out CoH was back - such nostalgia! The first thing I did was recreate one of my old characters from live (a bots mastermind) and I've been having a blast. My question for the forum - should I be slotting my protector bots for defence or damage? Or both? For context, I'm playing bots/dark, mainly solo, not intending to do anything crazy like soloing +4/8, but just want to be 'good' enough for most content. On the one hand, bots/dark has so much defence and -tohit that I imagine you don't really need to slot the protector bots for defence to reach the softcap, once you add in maneuvers, shadow fall, unique IO auras and the dark -tohit debuffs. On the other, in reality you're never going to have all your pets perfectly buffed and enemies perfectly debuffed, so slotting for defence would give you more contingency for those situations. I imagine there's no 'right' answer, but would be interested in knowing what the conventional wisdom is. Thanks in advance!
