Petless Mastermind. A poor choice.

I only play with petless MMs if a minmaxed sentinel gets into my team I tell them I'm sorry but they gotta go.

I mean this would be a fun team. A minmaxed sentinel and a petless MM? 

Just add a hideless stalker, and an all melee blaster and you're good to go

All pet less mm itf coming soon. I would say all whips only but might be too narrow. Can you imagine just the sound effects?  I’ve done all beam rifle and it was fun.

With /Marine Affinity and either Bots or Mercs I’m just not finding that to be true any longer.  Yes on a speed run sometimes lose one or two but in almost everything else /MA is an amazing set to keep the pets alive.

 

Not just /MA.  I have plenty of /cold, /dark, and /time combo's where it isn't especially true either.  Usually people that complain about how squishy MM pets are I find are trying to play them on a team where they are underleveled and are trying to send their pets against level 54's as a sidekicked level 49.  Of course pets trying to fight +7's are going to be squishy, doubly so if you aren't built for it yet.  Take that same MM in as a level 50+1 and it is night and day.

 

And I find the problem with speedrun teams are just that the pets can't keep up.  Everything is dead by the time they get there.  That's a more real issue I find, sometimes even on "normal" teams.

True mms with barrier and support do well

I jumped to Cim once for an all “Bow” themed ITF.  The person forming it up was a Archery/TacArrow Blaster I think.  2 of the 8 of us that showed up were Ninja MM’s.  It was then that I realized that a great many MM’s don’t take any of their primary attacks, and as such, hardly anyone out thre realizes that Ninja MM’s are, in fact, Bow users.

Masterminds really need a power that lets us just summon our pets instantly to our side once every 30 seconds.
