It doesn't matter if you make stuff harder or not. Majority the player base doesn't want it. They'll just sit in farms or lvl 50 teams or whatever. They try take easiest route. They won't play Redside cuz that side is actually harder then blue. So if you wanna jack up Blue with harder units, folks going be unhappy. The amount of bitching and quitting, I've seen from folks when you load Malta or Dark Astoria Content, or high level Praetorian Stuff with the Squid Heads. Folks want to sit in a farm, afk and do work or read a book or whatever and not actually play the game. Those that do, stick to easier things. I've had so many folks(50s) even go what content is this? What contact gives this? I never even knew stuff like this was in this game. That tells me majority don't bother exploring do to Farmers teaching and allowing bad habits of afk farming or AE farming in general. So I feel it's all just moot. You want something tougher, play red. Content from lvl 1-20 is harder then most content from 1-40 for Blueside folks(Cept for maybe CoT Ruin Mages, but even then we get those clowns sooner on red then blue).

Bots & Poison Bots already have a built in -regen in them. Poison is very stong when it comes to single target debuffing. Here is a Build: Mastermind - Robotics - Poison.mxd

Dominators need more powers....-Mastersminds look at their primaries-

How active is your community? Is your LFG full of folks begging for Farms & DFBs all day long? Color me curious.

Ive eyeballed al other servers besides HC, I just prefer here. But I won't lie, I wouldn't say no to HC taking that Companion Power Pool set for here... 🙂

SOOO, Mids is finally updated. Meaning all changes to various Travel/Power Pools, etc.. are in. Thus future builds will be more updated and folks if they want too(Please don't just all go balls to walls tits over the barrels stampeding me with requests) Can ask for some updated builds.

How it is now is fine. I wish they go around and maybe HC will in going back to Praetoria like they were planning and expanding 40-50 Content. What folks don't seem to realize a lot times, is First Ward & Night Ward is technically Goldside Content. But F, First Ward, lol. I know they made that place as a challenge for team play. Especially all the Psychic stuff. I wouldn't mind seeing more content though back in the city or higher lvl stuff that was in talks about going back to Praetoria and taking it back from that world's Hamidon and fighting and capturing it to help against the Coming Storm.

Toss up between Masterminds, Controllers, or VEATs. Which happen to be my coverage for testing back in day.

All pets add to the over all DPS to a target. Consider each pet a walking DoT for most part, focus firing will help that more.

/Kin Masterminds are annoying, period. You literally gave Crack Cocaine mixed with can of Coke on top of it to your already ADHD Mentally Handicapped Pets. Now they are doing it at super speeds, so they run 300 miles one direction before realizing they need to run back to mob, while they did this. The other mobs are like oh hey...lets follow that guy and see what's going on. Heaven forbid Caltrops or something is tossed on the ground. They will then run all over entire map screaming bloody murder about it, before running back cuz and realizing that stuff is still out and repeat the process. All of this because of Kinetics, lol.

That's going help mitigate more aggro to you, which in turn goes to your pets. Do you not know how they work? This still seems to reiterate my theory that all these folks spending time farming on the forums for points, don't actually play in the game.

You are correct. Pets do have a built in Taunt, not crazy strong(Well Thugs Brute is good). But yes, they were intended to be able to cover all aspects if a person wanted too. BUT they were very slow in putting out more Primary options for the player base, sadly. Now MM Pets recharge super fast, yes you can super spam em out for stuff like that.

In honest reality. Only 1 Petless Mastermind makes sense. Demons, do to whip sets. All rest of sets have ATs with more options and higher output do to MMs being the lowest on DPS chart for personal DPS(not pet). But here you go: Mastermind - Demon Summoning - Force Field.mxd

ROFL, look at that Build: Provoke. Also, my pets can normally pull some serious aggro off of folks, so long not effected Taunt of a Brute or Tank. Specific Pets can do extra things. Bodyguard Mode: Here use this Macro: /macro BG "petcom_all Follow Defensive" Power Pool: Provoke for Taunt.

Those should be higher, I see you didn't have Hover on.

I had a tank who was (10 lvls lower then my 50 MM), complain that I can't tank stop tanking mobs of the team I was leading..... Yet I was taking little to no dmg. On my Merc/Pain. As someone who played MMs and helped Castle with tests on them. They can tank, here is a great build example. Tankermind - Robotics - Force Field.mxd

Well this post got busy all the sudden after being quiet, didn't expect much out of it. Posted this post help clarify who I am, so folks know what they'll expect out of me in game. I also expected a lot of vitriol from others in it, which I can see it seething there. As for my MMs, I have: Beast/Forcefield, Zombies/Nature, Robots/Storm, Mercs/Pain, Mercs/Cold, Mercs/Thermal, Thugs/Sonic, Ninjas/Cold so far. As for my favorite. Mercs over all, folks give them a bad rap. But they Middle of road when it comes to DPS & Surviving if you look at raw values. But they have what many others do not have. C.C. out the ying yang. Tier 2 guys drop such a variety of it. Besides, it's the most Dakka Dakka one can ask for.
