Your Current Personal Favorites?

[Chalkarts]

I don't know how long ago this sort of thing has been asked but it's the kind of question I feel should be thrown out there once a year or so just to get a feel for trends.

 

Which is your personal favorite set?  I assume many of the players here have run through Multiple combinations before settling on a favorite to go long with.

 

Who constitutes your personal favorite cadre of minions or miscreants?

 

What makes them your favorite? Is it the aesthetic? Maybe a specific set synergy? or Perhaps a deep psychological desire to lord over that specific type of critter until it sacrifices itself in your name?

 

Who is your army?

Honestly I really like necro, despite not carrying about zombie lore much at all, necro mm's just make great mm's.

 

I have 4 robots, 3 necros, 2 demons, 1 thugs, and 1 ninja at this point. Maybe one day I'll finish off a beast and a merc.

I've got a beast that I really like but I just borked her base and am trying to resolve the disaster.

My top 3 favorites are Demons, Mercs, and Necro. I like to play in melee and prefer melee pets in general. I also like how well all 3 pair with marine affinity which is one of the main reasons I've started playing MMs more often.

Geeze, how to pick my favorite MMs? lol

My Demons/Storm is still quite a force to be reckoned with. My Bots/Nature is also good fun and synergizes pretty well. I have a rather massive collection of MMs, so it's hard narrowing it down. Notable mentions are any primary with /Marine because Marine feels made for MMs and pairs well with basically all of them--even Beasts, which are at the bottom, feel good with Marine.

 

Necro is a great primary that pair well with just about anything--necro/thermal gives you zombies on fire; necro/kin gives you zoombies; necro/cold for zombie pops; necro/dark is classic; necro/sonic for wraith/banshee vibes, etc. etc.

 

Mercs are also strong after the last MM pass and also pair well with anything and are a good choice for newer MMs since they play primarily at range. Bots can also fall in with this.

Bots/dark

Mercs/time

Demons/marine

Necro/ff

Thugs/traps

Ninjas/storm

 

Random picks i think i have every primary with every secondary except empathy and pain. I just remember having fun with those and bots/dark is still my goto as it was on live. It'd be easier to list the worst. Beasts with anything except /marine. They are almost playable with /marine.

For me, the all-round most mechanically effective MM has to be Bots/Marine.
Marine works well with any MM Primary due to Shifting Tide procs and Power of the Depths... about the only thing it's lacking is noteworthy -Regen debuffs and ST healing.
Bots/ provides -600% Regen and reliable henchmen ST spot healing.
(Also Whitecap, Brine and Shifting Tides more than cover for Bot's Single Target DPS issues... plus Barrier Reef + Protector Bot Bubbles + the usual culprits will hit the softcap...)

Oooo, with Bots having Maint Drone, does this make Shoal Rush more preferable to take over Soothing Wave?

Soothing Wave is still useful for healing you and non-henchmen allies... but it's not like Shoal Rush is a bad power.
If you're not taking anything else that can slot an Achilles' Heel proc (like Weaken Resolve)? Sure.
