Because zooming in and cropping is just so low res that I don't have any good shots of the great costumes. 😞 Great sceenshots as always. We should take self portraits and post them as well as pose for them. I'm always ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille 😛 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraumaTrain Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 For September 12th, I am thinking all mastermind Numina. Alternatively, an all mastermind Ice Mistral. I think, however, the final mission on Ice Mistral would be super rough for an all MM team. An all MM Numina would be a better challenge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmySky Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 For the all MM I have an /merc/emp and a beast/kin...but they are both just common IOs no fancy set stuff...and I am super rusty on them cuz its been um...november or december since I played them lol. I have a bots/traps but not sure her lvl lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I better start researching and make one 😄 I hope they are not as hard to play as they look. I see Numina is levels 35-40, as is Ice Mistral. Good thing I have next week off as a staycation 🙂 I can take some time and learn how to play one. Does anyone have a recommended build or favorite set? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxman100 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Ranged minions are usually easier as they don't run in and die as much. Bots and Thugs. The second level Bot minions shield each other, the other bots(twice) and you. Cold/FF/Traps are the easier secondaries that give a bunch of defense to minions, plus the unique pet IOs for bonuses help keep them alive. Leadership pool can help with accuracy and defense too. If you keep them on follow and defensive stance, they will attack back what you agro. Once they get 'survivable' there's less to do as you are not constantly summoning. If your pets are in the defensive stance and close to you, dame you take is shared with them(body guard mechanic) so you can debuff/pull mobs without telling them to attack. You can summon all pets now, then use the upgrade powers once each and all pets get their extra powers. I'm sure Thermal/Sonic/Dark/Rad/etc. can all be good secondaries. I don't have much experience with other primaries, besides Mercs. They have low damage IMO. If I am around I will probably bring my Pirate Zombie Captain Jax (Necro/Dark). Wonder how ugly that build is...... Depending on how things shake out, we can PL people a few levels before/after Saturday's run or Sunday. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraumaTrain Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I have four MMs currently. Three are in range already. The fourth is 10 levels off. They are mercs/pain, bots/force fields, demons/dark, and thugs/kin. Numina and Ice Menstrual are both good TFs for all MMs, level-wise. You get the second upgrade power at 32. For that matter, Manticore and Renault would also fit the bill. Renault maxes out at 30, but you'd still have the power because of the +5. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigmatus Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 My only MM currently is a bots/traps by the name of Doctor Downfall. He's pretty fun, but haven't played him in a while. I think I can manage to get in range in time since it's a couple weeks out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TygerDarkstorm Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm over on Everlasting, but these sound like such fun!

TraumaTrain Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 @TygerDarkstorm, hey there! We have been ending up with 7-person teams each week, and no one answers the call when I throw it out in the LFG channel to fill the last spot. You are more than welcome to join us. We're very casual. No speedy TFs here. Sometimes we'll take a few minutes between missions to go train up or refill our glasses. Come on over! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a Thugs / Time Manipulation MM yesterday named Tater Tots 🙂 I'll level her up this coming week. I can't wait to play with her and see what she does 😄 I'm going to do some research to see if there is any way to customize the thugs so I can make them women instead of men. That would be very cool. I'm also looking at the numpad key binds. Looks like a lot of work to set up, but useful once you do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great! Note that this week, September 5th, is the all radiation Renault SF, if you'd like to join that. September 12th is the all MM Numina. I jumped the gun a little bit posting about that one before the current one is in the can. So you don't need to grindy grind; we have a week and a half for till that one.

TygerDarkstorm Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Moved my beast/kin who was level 31 over to Indom for Saturday the 12th. 🙂 Then did a few missions and a Moonfire TF on her and got Kincatic up to 34, so I should have no problem having her ready, lol. Though if we have another beast/kin user I'm happy to level up a different combo. 1 Global: @Valnara1; Discord Handle: @Valnara#0620 I primarily play on Everlasting, but you may occasionally find me on Indom. 🙂 Notable Characters: Apocolyptica - Demons/Storm MM; Lurking Monster - Human-Form WS; Environmentabot - Bots/Nature MM; Miss Fade - Ill/Traps Controller; Sister Apocalypse - Beast/Dark MM; Dr. Elaina Wrath - Plant/Rad Controller (Join the House of Wrath, and spread the word of science!); Ruff Ruff Boom - AR/Devices Blaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socom242 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Had a suggestion during MSR last night. How about an ALL DARKNESS TF??? It could be any AT, as long as the Primary Power is Darkness, or if possible BOTH Powers Darkness!!! I have a Dark/Dark Scrapper "Blackrazor" but I'd like to try another maybe a Defender or Troller. Just a thought 😁😁😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
