Do you mind putting influence into the character, or are ya on a budget? Do you like the powerset attacks of Mercs or would you rather just support the henchmen? Are you ok with having only 134.3% ACC in Spec Ops? Mind you, these are henchmen that spawn -1 level to the actual MM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctoKnight Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 either support or damage honestly yeah I will eventually put influence into the character if I enjoy it enough honestly like the attacks from mercs I think I will with the spec ops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, the baddies will have trouble hitting you and your henchmen. So, when you approach a mob, you debuff 'em with Darkest Night & Fearsome Stare. That will be enough debuffs on mobs around your level. For the purple-lettered baddies I would use the Dark Servant on them as well. After you debuff, you can then have fun destroying the mob with your other attacks. I'm not sure how you like to travel around the map/mission with your henchmen, so move the slots around for either Speed of Sound & Teleport, or Hover & Teleport. Mind you that Hover gives you a little more +Def to all. Don't forget to keep clicking Serum to buff your henchmen. Good luck with this powerful combo and don't mind the thumbs down on this post, I have some folks that like to harass me on here. Edit: Other than the 1st enhancement, the slots in Equip Mercenary apply to the actual mastermind. This is to help with the duration of mezzes applied to the mastermind. Powers & Gameplay Adjustments Powerset Revamps Mercenaries Burst, Slug, and M30 Grenade Each of these attacks applies a Focused Fire tag on the target for 30s. Each power's tag will increase Mercenary ranged damage by 3.33%, up to a maximum of 10%. Equip Mercenary Henchmen passive resistances have been moved to this upgrade. Equip Mercenary now accepts Resistance sets and enhancements. By slotting this power with resistance enhancements, players will be able to improve the henchmen's passive resistances. Tactical Upgrade This power now grants henchmen passive Ranged and AoE defenses. Now accepts Defense sets and enhancements, will boost henchmen defenses. By slotting this power with defense enhancements, players will be able to improve the henchmen's passive defenses. Serum Power can now only be activated when targeting a mercenary, can no longer be accidentally wasted by targeting a different pet like Dark Servant Power now buffs all henchmen (animation only plays on main target). Recharge reduced from 1000 seconds to 250 seconds. Power no longer has a crash. The power now grants strong defensive and offensive buffs that slowly decay over a one minute window. Henchmen Their entire power repertoire revamped. Powers have been added, adjusted, and replaced.

BazookaTwo Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 We don't like to harass you, you're inexperienced and overly opinionated. And that's being polite about it. You troll and bully people and call their builds trash. You are a bad faith actor, and not acting in the spirit of the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never called anyones builds trash. This is honestly the first time I've spoken on the forum. I think you have the wrong person 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
