Wasn't having any troubles over on Pinnacle in Praetoria. Certainly not an issue between Praetoria and Halloween or there would be a lot more people complaining about it.

Hey look, I forgot I even posted here for a bit.

The build posted before my previous post should be fine for Master runs. It has a little higher defenses and resistances than my Tank, comparable net Recovery*, somewhat lower Regen. I have no trouble tanking the STF normally (unless buffs aren't kept on me while tanking GW, then I run into some trouble against that Mag 100 hold); I'm pretty sure he's done a Master STF at least once but I'm not 100% sure, I'd have to check if he has the badge. No purples, PvP IOs, or even Hami-Os in my build.

*Just realized, I'm looking at the numbers in Mids', which doesn't account for the Performance Shifter +End proc. So probably higher recovery on my toon. Despite that, I still tend to run with macros for combining inspirations into small, medium and large blues on the fly, along with a fourth macro for using a blue insp when needed.

Buffing your henchmen with non-upgrades (i.e., buffs from your secondary) usually reverts them back to your control. This isn't a great solution since some Mastermind secondaries don't have such buffs, but for those that do it's a good patchwork solution in lieu of an actual bugfix.

Presumably WAI in order to stop players from defeating mobs as they exit the doors, but before they have a chance to attack.

You're a Tanker, taking out enemies isn't your job; you have the luxury of taking your time to defeat a large group of enemies. You have Rage double-stacked and Foot Stomp has a relatively short recharge and is slotted out for damage. You're not really going to do any better than that.

Although I think that my Inv/SS *does* take down enemies fairly quickly under the same circumstances, but that of course depends on what difficulty you're running on, and how you define "fairly quickly".

Perpetual night is part of the Halloween Event. As Novapulse said, it ends when the event ends.

Gotta work.

You're two levels away from Rage. 3 levels away from having it perma (and double-stacked, if you have Hasten and +recharge set bonuses). Post-28 is a much happier experience. My Inv/SS has no trouble farming the wall in Cimerora, for instance.

I'm not quite sure what you mean on the first point, but I think that's probably an engine limitation more than anything else.

As far as enhancing the teleport range of the charge powers (Shield Charge, Lightning Rod), you can enhance them with standard Range enhancements.

I was having similar trouble with other masterminds' henchmen the other day, which I thought was weird because yeah, they're supposed to be pushed out of the way, even if they're not yours.

Anyway, the Assault Bot is fairly large too -- not sure if it's on the scale of the Tier 3 Demon but it's probably close. As far as damage goes for Robotics:

That seems to be the case for super-powered rescuees in alignment missions, I haven't had one help me yet. Some don't even stick around, they just leave.

We already know that Incarnate abilities won't scale below level 50 so you lose them if you exemp down. Given this, there's a good chance that they won't even apply to existing content.

You're not actually required to take all of your pets. Problem solved.

I'm the wrong one.
