MM Dark/Thug

[lumploaf]

So I just started a dark thug mastermind. I really like the combo. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what powers are most important to slot? Are there some powersI should NEVER slot ( id assume equip thugs shouldn't be slotted since it will be replaced with another buff power later) I don't expect a full build out but any tips to get me started would really help. Thanks!

The upgrade powers don't get slotted, a single End Reduction IO goes into them. However, be aware that the later upgrade power adds DIFFERENT powers to your henchmen, and therefore you will always keep your first upgrade power even after you get the second.
