Hello there @NinjaIceBear

 

My main is Robot/Electric and I would love to give you some input. However I am at work at this exact moment but I will have a look when I get home. But there are a few important questions that are generally asked for build critiques - 

 

What sort of activities do you intend to do? Normal missions? AE's? ITF's? GM hunting?

Do you intend to play on teams often, or are you more of a lone wolf?

What is your preferred difficulty to play on? Do you like to push a build as hard as you can, or do you like to be more relaxed enjoyment kind of play?

 

I will take a look at your build and slotting when I get home, but those questions can factor into how to make a build. As an example, "Amp Up" only works on other players, not pets. So if you solo most of the time, that power is likely skippable. The same with Defibrillate. 

 

More to come!

I play alot in team's mostly. I rarely solo if at all. I plan to do alot of TFs, iTFs, and probably a bit of GM hunting. I mostly play on 4x8 with a team. I try to push myself to be stronger but not too crazy on making it the "perfect" build. Thank you so much. Will look forward to your input.

Hello again @NinjaIceBear !

 

At first pass, this is actually very good! There are a few things I think you missed though! Nothing major, so if you wanted to use this build it should perform well! But here are the things I spotted - 

1. You might have forgotten to have Farday's Cage and Hover toggle enabled when looking at values. With them on you are "way" over the S/L resistance cap for MMs, well over the Ranged DEF as well. 

2. Your pet slotting is fine, but it could be better. What most MMs do is put 2 parts of Superior Mark of Supremacy into each pet, in order to stack the 10% recharge bonus, then use the 4 piece of Superior Command in another, for a total net of 40% recharge, which is nothing to sniff at! I usually put the 4 Superior Mark into the T3 pet, so along with Soulbound Build up and KB to KD, thats his 6 slots. 

3. I moved some of your resist sets and slots around to better optimize. Your build was well over the S/L resistance and had a little wonky Defenses. With a few changes I got you much closer to the caps, but boosted your values in other areas as well.

 

Here is your stats - 

 

And here is mine - 

 

So You lost a bit of ranged over defense, and I brought your ranged and melee closer to the 45% mark, and boosted your resists across the board, from 20% to 40% or so, I even managed to give your Psionic, Fire, Cold, Negative, and even Toxic Resistance a nice big boost. Personally, I would have made more changes, but you said you mainly play on teams, so I kept Amp Up and Defibrillate. The END use is a bit higher than I would like, but that is also with both Fly and Group Fly on which I doubt you will have enabled all the time. With that toggled off, your END is 1.42/3.25 which is over a 1:2 ratio so that's solid. There are a few other things as well, but I tried to keep within the guidelines that you gave.

 

Hope you like it and that it helps!

@NinjaIceBear - I just realized I made a mistake, I forgot to swap out one of the sets for Superior Command, here is the correct one. Apologies!

Well, another change to the change. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but the values were still off, then I figured it out. You had all your passives clicked on - 

 

 

The big ones that cause errors in displays are Muscled and Support. Muscled adds to the defense, giving a false positive. Support adds as normal, but you had it enabled. So your values were much higher than the display otherwise indicated. Support adds 15% defense and Muscled (falsely) adds about 3%. But the GOOD news, is that MIDs doesn't account for your T2 protector bot buffs either, which as I have it slotted, is 8.7%.

 

So with that in mind, here are your values without Support or Muscled enabled and not taking Prot Bot buff into account  - 

 

 

 

So add the 8.7%, and you will have roughly 38% Melee DEF and 34.88%, Ranged DEF, respectfully. 

 

Your initial values without Support/Muscled enabled, again not accounting for Protector Bot buff - 

 

 

So your "real" current DEF values are - Melee - 24.68%, Ranged - 39.68.

 

In short, with my build you lose roughly 4% Ranged DEF, but Gain 14% Melee DEF, and 20-40% Resistance, depending on which in question, which I would still consider an overall net positive gain.

 

Anyway, sorry for the confusion but I was matching your build against my own and I couldn't figure out how you had 20% more DEF across the board. I generally don't enable Incarnates in MIDs for this very reason as it causes things to go wonky.

 

Sorry for the mix up! I just realized what was going on and didn't want you to go "what the heck?!?" ingame.

Hello again @NinjaIceBear !

 

At first pass, this is actually very good! There are a few things I think you missed though! Nothing major, so if you wanted to use this build it should perform well! But here are the things I spotted - 

1. You might have forgotten to have Farday's Cage and Hover toggle enabled when looking at values. With them on you are "way" over the S/L resistance cap for MMs, well over the Ranged DEF as well. 

2. Your pet slotting is fine, but it could be better. What most MMs do is put 2 parts of Superior Mark of Supremacy into each pet, in order to stack the 10% recharge bonus, then use the 4 piece of Superior Command in another, for a total net of 40% recharge, which is nothing to sniff at! I usually put the 4 Superior Mark into the T3 pet, so along with Soulbound Build up and KB to KD, thats his 6 slots. 

3. I moved some of your resist sets and slots around to better optimize. Your build was well over the S/L resistance and had a little wonky Defenses. With a few changes I got you much closer to the caps, but boosted your values in other areas as well.

 

Here is your stats - 

 

And here is mine - 

 

So You lost a bit of ranged over defense, and I brought your ranged and melee closer to the 45% mark, and boosted your resists across the board, from 20% to 40% or so, I even managed to give your Psionic, Fire, Cold, Negative, and even Toxic Resistance a nice big boost. Personally, I would have made more changes, but you said you mainly play on teams, so I kept Amp Up and Defibrillate. The END use is a bit higher than I would like, but that is also with both Fly and Group Fly on which I doubt you will have enabled all the time. With that toggled off, your END is 1.42/3.25 which is over a 1:2 ratio so that's solid. There are a few other things as well, but I tried to keep within the guidelines that you gave.

 

Hope you like it and that it helps!

Hey @Neiskagreat build! What would you suggest instead of group fly if I didn’t want it? Assault?

Hello, sorry for the late reply. I wasn't notifed for some reason.

 

Assualt IMO isn't all that great for the END cost, its only a little bit plus dimishing returns. I would go tactics, to first help prevent blindness, but also boosts your pets DPS against higher level targets by helping them hit more, which your T1 pets can stumble trying to land hits on. So it's multipurporse instead of just a tiny bit of damage.

[tidge]

Equip Robots should have Resistance slotted, not Endurance Reduction (for page 5). IIRC the henchmen get a significant portion of their Resistance from it, but even if you don't want that, it is still better used as a mule.

[gameboy1234]

That's for all the posts here.  I have a Bots/ EAf that's getting close to 50 and I really had no idea what to do with it, especially with the semi-recent changes to MM pets.  Lots of good ideas and advice. @Tidge @Neiska

[Warlawk]

This is what I whipped up for someone. It's got all the aura IOs (except taunt/placate, which is whatever), permahasten, solid defenses a procced out AOE knockdown attack and all pets pushed to diminishing returns for Acc/Dam with a KD converter in the Assbot. Battle drones doesn't have full end redux but Energizing Circuit will cover that ezpz.

My question is, as you didnt take any of the powers that apply -regen, were you not worried about that aspect or did not figure this would be an AV killer?  Does it hurt the build not including any -regen?

The build was made before the change to Robot MMs, so it had minimal personal attacks. The change was a bit of a hot issue here on the forums, and I would rather not go digging up old arguments. All I will say was I loved the MM change, but strongly disliked the Robot one. In every circumstance I have tried - AoE, ST, GMs/AVs etc, my robot setup is noticeably worse than before, despite others claims of better damage.

 

So I do feel having less -regen does hurt, but that really depends on the activity. If you are solo then yes, it matters. If you are AV/GM hunting with others, it wont matter as much.

I didn't mean to bring up hot issues as I am well aware that this was...very poorly received.  I also agree that the MM changes were overall great and yes...I dislike the Robot changes too (well aside from the one where it seems to keep my t1 bots in ranged instead of one kamakazi drone going "Wheeeee!")

 

I do primarily solo, only joining teams when I am having a slow day and want to sort of "jump start" my further progression.  I would say I am 85% solo though.
