So, for a end drain build, is it better to go with Power Boost or /Ele Assault? Thanks!

Interesting... would bruiser from Thugs help to draw argo away?

Ha... Ninja is still the best dps

Most advises to take Mace for /Time to get the benefit of Power Boost. I don't think the effect of Power Boost applies to those pseudo pets of /Traps. So what Ancillary or Patron to get for a /Traps? Thanks!

Traps are very good except the last two powers: really not sure what to do with them...

assuming /Storm contributes the same power output, Demons do more damage than Bots?

Thanks for the input! Which secondary to go with Bots to make the most of its high DPS? Trap and Cold seem to be logical as both has defence and -regen to complement Bots. But itself is quite sturdy. So Storm May work too to push the DPS output higher. Any suggestions?

I have already known that Ninjas are the highest DPS primary. But Thugs have Leadership (2x Assault) and Gang War, plus Arsonist can Scourge. Does anyone use a DPS meter to see which set does more damage? Thanks!

Thanks all!!

It would seems that using Lich would benefit the most as i) it is a boss pet for maximum detonation and ii) it is getting a better Soul Extraction pet afterwards

How does Detonate work? My pet just put the bomb on the exact spot where it is standing and blow itself off. I tried it with a few different pet sets and they are do the same thing. Does a pet always have to die I order for the power to work? Do I have to stand in melee to get the most of it? Thanks!

Does the figures in your analysis come from /trap alone or did you take into account the -regen from Assault Bot as well? By the way, what is "PGT"? Thanks!

Thanks for your detailed reply. I am actually weighing the options of whether to continue a bot/trap or bot/time. -regen is just one of the considerations I need some more info. Both are good. But ultimately I have a few other MMS already. Just want to focus on one bot combo.

Does the -Regen from Assault Bot alone strong enough to negate (wholly or substantially) the regeneration of an AV? thanks!

How about changing it to something like SB or IR (of kin)?

Is Ninjas/Storm still the fastest on taking down a pylon?

Thug or Ninja with Storm do crazy damage. But may be a little too crazy in the sense that the pets die so easily without having the benefit of some more defensive secondary powers. Taking one step towards to the safer end of the balance, Demons and Zombies (proc-heavy) may be more palatable. Also, historically Bots and Storm are also a thing. In the Pylons thread of this forum, someone use Merc with Storm to great effect too. In my view, steamrolling also implies not dying so frequently - or at least needing to heal regularly - which means more time and endurance for dealing damage. After all, Storm is a very offensive set to the point where the margin of using different pets is almost academic. Alternatively, I have heard Dark and Illusion controller pair with Storm very well too.

Storm controller probably won't do the same level of damage as a /Storm MM. But which primary comes close? Thanks!

Is this accurate: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19VuZ9zJ_8eKN11JytgaK9mt9Fy-8pjANopb-FGh68Uw/htmlview# Thanks!

Really want to make a "YOLO" heavy damage build. I know Ninja/Storm used to be strong enough to take down a Pylon back in live (actually, I think most /Storm can do anyway). How about Ninja/Kin and Thug/Time? Which one of the three does more damage? Thanks!

Overwhelming Force proc

I understand why most build chooses Mace for Power Boost. I am levelling a Poison MM at the moment and Power Boost offers relatively few benefits. Bonfire with KB->KD offers the soft control I need for survival. And so far I like it. But it is it a good power/Mastery to go forward with? And comment or advice? Thanks!

I don't see that many discussions on Ninja / Dark. Does anyone have any comment on this build? Thanks!

Just give them insp when you need them to step up on pumping out damage alternatively slot Soulbound BU

Can Time solo well? Can it take on AV...? thanks!
