I'm not really a numbers guy when it comes to the pets.......I just build them to suit my playstyle, think a scrappermind. I use hell on earth to mule all the pet procs and then utilize shadowfall and maneuvers to boost the defenses, the demons casting of the fire shield will boost the resist rating up and to help this I slot demons with a single resist dmg IO to increase that. I rarely lose any demons and when I do it's mainly from aggroing a wee bit too many new friends in an area...and then it's not enough to worry about as I can just resummon 1 or 2 as needed

Pair a /cold MM with a /thermal MM.....defense, resists, melt armor and t9 cold endurance power........nasty

Dark not only debuffs the bejeezus out of everything with darkest night, throw in the fear which also debuffs, the rez which debuffs and stuns....and we can't forget about the fluffy, your own mini shadow troller. Shadowfall gives you a good amount of defense and resists when slotted accordingly. Out of all my demon MM that have hit 50, dark is the one that stands above all others on what it can do......storm, thermal, cold, kin and time all at 50 with pain at 35 and sonic next up but demon/dark is my beast

I have both at 50 and I feel thermal is the more tankier pairing. Cold is very nice with heat loss and benumb to make most bosses, EBs and AVs hurt a bit along with the other debuffs it offers but thermal has a really strong buff in forge and 2 strong debuffs......both are win win combos

As I recall....the healing uniques only benefit the MM and only activate when the power is and is only active for a period of time. They're better suited in health or an always on type healing power. This may have been changed since live but I'm not sure

Thermal would be a good choice with the fire shields for resists and forge to turn the brute into a killing machine....just a thought

I very rarely use super speed, I'm not really a fan of it and I do find assault a little better choice for an MM. I've gotten my demon/time MM to 50 a while back but never opened up the incarnates on her as I was on to the next MM creation but I though I'd share my build. With farsight active I'm s/l capped on defense......I found an idea for time on teh forums where I turn it into a partial proc set up and find it fun and I slot my demons almost exactly the same across every demon MM I do......not saying it's right but it seems to work for me and my playstyle This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.3.1 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Dark trollers are awesome....try one and it may suprise you

I've got a necro/cold MM and he's a blast to play....the lack of healing can be a bit problematic if you get overwhelmed but overall is very fun and solid. Here's my current build for ya to look at.

I generally take 1 attack on my MMs for flavor.....I like to randomly hit stuff. My demon/thermal was a concept/theme build so a tew more attacks bit he's my exception. Whipping stuff, while fun....I cant see as a viable set and besides, demons are naughty biys and need to be punished because without the punishment they wont know their overlord

Thought I would share my current demon/thermal build......while no where near defensively stacked as @JJDrakken and I do take a few attacks, what can I say I scrappermind my guys.......I do like the current build. The really good thing about MM's is that there really isn't a wrong way with them....well, unless you decide not to take the pets but thats crazy talk. The build shared by @JJDrakkenis really good and I can understand the reason for not taking any attacks, I've got a few MM builds that skipped attacks but the whip attacks for me really fit the build more than any other demon combo......maybe it's just a theme thing.

Just a note on demon/thermal.....take the sorcery pool for enflame, it's really fun to buff one of your demons with it ro have a damage aura and takes the theme up a notch

My 3 favorite combinations are demon/dark, demon/thermal and necro/cold. All mesh together perfectly and fits for theme

One of the other private servers has wind control but I don't recall which one

I slot HoD with procs.....5 procs and an A/D/R from one of the sets to give me a 2 piece bonus, never had it do KB with that setting atleast not that I recall seeing

With the IO's you're thinking of buying, look for the attuned pieces as they level with you. Cost is relatively the same but no need to have to swap out for higher level ones or even wait til 50. To get the set bonuses you have to have X number in a single power to get the bonus.......putting 2 in a power and 2 more in a different power won't give you the 4 piece bonus but it will give you the 2 piece bonus twice. As far as the money goes......one way is to farm and either build a farming toon to fund your builds or....and this is my personal choice and the best way I've earned money is to do TF's, I gets lotsa coin on TF's..........third is to play the market but I'm not good at that one as I'm too impatient.

Yes, deceive. I use it to keep a few busy as I take care of the rest and then finish them off. The loss of xp for one or 2 is really not that noticeable to make that much of a difference and on those tougher enemies if you deceive them.......they don't hit you back

I have an alternate build where I went ice epic which changed my resist to defense, capped s/l/r defense but my resist were in the 30's.....never could bring myself to make it though. Standard opening is HT to stun and debuff, tar patch, fearsome stare, nightfall and popping ageless when needed for my endurance

Here's my demon/dark MM that I run...near unkillable with ranged soft cap and s/l hard capped resists. Have taken her on many challenging TF's, missions, AV hunts and monster hunts and she's usually the one left standing........I can solo most GM's on her and have done well with a few AV's but haven't tested them all out solo yet This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.3.1 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Here's my current dark/savage build. She's currently has s/l/e/r soft capped defenses and perma domination.......ageless helps with end management during the beginning of the fight before domination kicks in.

I love my dark/savage dom.........one of my absolute favorite builds. Put some procs in a few of your dark powers and pair it with savage.....things drop really fast

Demon/storm.........so much chaos and carnage. My first 50 on Homecoming who stood the test of time between live to now. Demons running amok with tornado and lightning storm destroying everything else... .........so much fun

Welcome back @Nostromo21 and I think you will enjoy the ride to 50 on the ill/dark.......I liked it so much I did it twice. As far as superior invisibility goes it's a love it or not kinda power, while it does a good job at what it does I much rather have shadowfall active for the defense boost and other perks it gives, paired with a stealth proc in sprint and all is good. Not that superior invisibilty is bad or anything and while I do have it in my build it's mainly to house a LotG proc. Advice for the ill/dark ride is recharge to make PA perma......the more recharge the better. Dark is so much fun with it's buffs with fade and soul absorption to teh debuffs it gives with darkest night, howling twilight(best stun and debuff in the game) and of course fluffy to do what only he can. So many ways to build the beast that is ill/dark and all will work, some costly some not so much but all will be fun. In the early levels confuse, confuse and confuse some more and in the later levels.....confuse, confuse and confuse some more, actually with PA up perma or near perma and with phantasm, spectral servant, fluffy and your attack chain(spectral wounds, blind and oblit from soul mastery in my case) most things will drop rather easily. Truest and best advice for the ill/dark is this......get enough recharge for perma PA or near enough perma, create a build that fit's your playstyle whether it be an OP world beater, a team build or whatever you can come up with....make it fun....make it enjoyable......make it memorable

Thanks for sharing @EnjoyTheJourney and @Meknomancer. I've done demon/storm which is a fantastic toon and was my first 50 on HC, tweaked her build several times over and finally found one I like. The thought of necro/storm does sound fun so I'm rolling one to see if I can slot it similar to my demon MM to hit my target goals on defense but she was a pricey minx so may have to adjust the build a bit for not having the winter sets available to this one. Thanks again on the idea for a new alt.........freaking love altitis, I hope they never find a cure for it

I love both powers, I turned unkindness into a proc attack and call hawk was needed for the builds theme....think Raven from the Teen Titans. Here's the current build for you, a bit pricey but works for my playstyle and all. I capped s/l/r/e with agility alpha slotted and managed to hit perma dom, not alot of wiggle room so I have to pay attention to hasten or pop my ageless to get the recharge boost.
