Wanted to run the Barracuda Strike Force last night but there were only 3 of us. I was told we couldn’t pull it off without a defender or a mastermind. That got me thinking... if you were going to bring a mastermind with you on a second account, how would you build it? I would think you’d want it to a) not require a lot of attention, b) debuff well, c) have some decent buffs and d) be tough enough to not die immediately when left unattended. In the defender forums they recommended time or sonic. I assume bots would be the best primary with the built in bubbles. Thoughts?

I hadn’t considered a mm. That’s a good idea. How would you go about building that? I’m not very good with mids.

That gives me some direction. Thanks for sharing!

@Nightmarer what does your attack chain look like? First time playing a dom and most of the powers (fear especially) associated with it.

Thanks for responding! I plan on paying this exclusively PvE. I will check out your build!

Great information. Thanks for sharing!

Having a BLAST with this! What incarnates do you like to fill out this build?

Appreciate all the replies! Gonna look through and see what I can apply to my build.

I'm set on having flight and laser beam eyes for thematic purposes, but I get what you are saying. I'll check into your slotting. Anyone else wanna chime in? Are most of us using sets in our attacks still? Or procing it out?

Hey folks! I've been running this build (not mine, found in the forums) for about a year now. It has been a great build for me, but I thought it was time to look it over and see if there were any updates to be made. This build was before procs were all the rage. Give the state of the game today, what changes would you recommend? I appreciate any and all feedback!

They changed immediately for me until the last couple of weeks. I tried restarting my machine and nada. Still won’t change color.

When i switch alignment - on any of my toons - the windows no longer change color (from red to blue). As far as I know, I haven't change any settings. How do I change this back?

Nada? Boo. 😞

I received the below build from sacho on the MM discord. He suggested it could be optimized. What changes would you make?

Going to start a MM duo with my wife and can't find a thugs/nature build on the forums. Anyone have a build we could use? We will also be running a thugs/dark. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for the links! /thermal could be an option. I’ll check into it. Thanks!

My wife and I are going to play duo masterminds together. These toons will always be together and will sometimes group with others. I will be thugs/time and she will be thugs/dark. Anyone have a good build either of us could use? Would you change anything in the builds considering we will always be together? Thanks for the help!

@seresibyl3 What do your attack chains look like?

Started running your build today seresibyl3. Loving it so far!

Why charged shot over single shot? I hear a lot of people sing praises for single shot and am trying to understand.

Thanks! I should have searched first. My bad.

Is this build good for pvp anymore?

Is there a way to change the account name for logging into CoH?

I wonder if there would be a way to just disable double inf for AE missions? That would mostly fix the farming problem and allow toons to make extra money doing missions.
