Wanting to build a 50 MM

[Zakkon1]

On live I had a Demons/Nature Afinity MM towards the end of the game and it was one of the most fun characters I've ever played, as well as one of the strongest. I'm looking to do another MM but having trouble picking, and was hoping you guys could give me your thoughts! I've got a few combinations in mind... I'm thinking one of these

 

Necro/Cold Dom or

Beast Mastery/Cold Dom

Mercenaries/Elec Affinity

Thugs/Rad

Ninjas/Kin or Time

or just do Demons/Nature again

From my understanding Ninjas are quite weak and easily killed, but I'm willing to take the gamble with kinetics anyways 🙂 Just wondering what some thoughts from other players might be?

I wouldn't be quick to repeat any combo you already have played... it is just MHO but I think it is hard to judge the strengths and weakness of a set or combo without playing them (especially for MMs).

 

If you want to eventually feel really powerful... I think /Marine and /Time secondaries are probably the best choices for whichever primary you pick. Marine will probably remind you of Nature.

Unfortunately just finished building a Marine corrupter so not looking to make a new one right off the bat, but I'll give time a try, thanks for your input!

Cold Dom gets Benumb and Heat Loss.  These are VERY powerful and sought after by teams/leaguers doing upper end content.  They will help you clear tough bosses satisfactorily.

Of the options you listed at the top:

 

Necro/Cold

Mercs/Elec

Ninjas/Time

 

Played them all and they are all excellent combos. Ninjas are pretty squishy, they make up for it by killing everything so fast they usually don't have time to die. When some of the mm's got a bump a couple issues back ninjas were amongst them and they pop crits often enough to make /ninja blasters and stalkers jealous.

Ninjas were a part of the recent MM update, they're not nearly as squishy as they were before and still have good damage output.

 

I have no comment regarding which combos to do, lol. I'm in the boat of try any/all of them and seeing what clicks for you.

Of those I have a necro/cold and beast/cold to high level.  Both good combos.  With all the buffs necro got I'd give the edge to necro/cold for sure.

 

But yes, /time is always a solid choice as well and should work well with any primary.

Thanks for all your inputs!

I second trying Marine as a secondary, something new and it's a very good on MM's.

Loved Beast/Time myself. Alot of slowing powers to drop on groups of mobs with a one button max stacks for pets crt rate. Farsight and Chrono are awesome group buffs to.

Necro/Cold

I'd go with this combo.  Especially powerful since they buffed necromancy...
