Here's my current Bots/Time build. I have a feeling it can be improved somewhat, but not sure where. Any suggestions?

I am no expert - especially when it comes to IO slotting, but I am on almost the same path with my bot/time MM power choice wise. The differences I will have are that that I went sorcery (even though thematically it doesn't fit in) to have rune of protection available and I may try to fit in web cocoon to have a second hold.

 

I always wanted to have group fly so my bots had their little boot jets going but not going to bother as its such a useless power. I wish they would modify that power so it was a) group hover and b) you could choose whether it was just your pets or your whole team that was affected. Probably would still not be great but would be better. 

[Crysis]

The hallmark of Bots/Time/Mace is that you can easily softcap DEF to pretty much everything.  The downside is that it’s hard to slot in all the MM pet uniques, but then again, you don’t really need to on the DEF side.  Time doesn’t augment damage really, but the high DEF, the -TOHIT from Times Juncture and boosts to END and Heal means you are perfectly situated to take some of your primaries AND Mace Volley and frankenslot them with procs to actually assist with some decent damage output, being able to do so frequently and mitigate all the native MM Endurance penalties.

 

I suggest you take a look at this thread.....lots of ways to build out Bots.  But you =WILL= need to take and slot your attacks and use them or you’ll find whittling down spawns to be a chore.  I play mine at +4/x8 routinely and do so quite safely, and I tankermind (not using Provoke pool, but just native Times Juncture, which pulls MASS aggro onto me).  Your build isn’t too far off from those shown in this thread.

 

I keep tweaking mine from time to time, although I mostly play other MM alts these days.

 

 

[LiquidBandage]

I went with a more controlery twist. The double single target holds makes locking down annoying mobs easy to burn down (Fake Nemesis, Paragon Protector, etc). The Bonfire picks up what the Distortion Field misses. I have my MM up to 47 now and I am pretty happy with it.
