FlamingDragon

One thing I noticed - no Practiced Brawler? Is there any reason why you're not taking your mez protection?

Some more food for thought for you; my current build is below:

Bear in mind it's the build I've been running for the past couple of years and have not updated it with ATOs etc. And like Arcana mentioned, I24 will change a few things.

I have everything except the purple set in Howling Twilight, which I may not bother with.

My goals with sets were to plug any of my end issues, perma-Fluffy and global defence bonuses to stack with Maneuvers, ShadowFall and Frozen Armour to help <u>my</u> survivability (please note that global bonuses do not affect your pets).

As with "most" MMs, the issue is with pet endurance; during regular missions I find their end is fine, but I carry a couple of blue insps just in case (especially against Carnies). Against longer AV battles and Incarnate trials, I do find that my Demon Prince and Ember Demon (the one with the heal) are the first ones to suck end; but again, blue insps can help in this case.

One thing I would say about this build, is I haven't taken any of the primary attacks which slightly bugs me. I would've liked to have taken Crack Whip for the cone -res, but I couldn't find the slots for it to make it affective; in the end I took Recall Friend and Veng due to single-slotting even though they are mainly team-oriented powers.

Another nice-to-have for me is to be able to take Petrifying Gaze (as in the build posted by Psy). You'd be able to stack the hold with Fluffy's version of Petrifying Gaze and your Demon Prince's Ice Block (?). Again, I couldn't find the slots for this power.

For Incarnate abilities, I chose Musculature Radial for the Alpha slot. The reason being, the damage enhancement would affect all my pets (except Fluffy since he/she/it cannot be slotted for damage), the -tohit would affect Darkest Night and Fluffly, Immob for Fluffy and End-mod to boost my Stamina.

That being said, I must say it was a very tough decision between Musculature and Cardiac (which would great in those before-mentioned long battles); in the end, I thought in "most" battle situations, more damage would mean mobs dropping quicker and overall "saving end".

For Interface, I went for the Reactive -res ability; same reasoning as above. Although, it was a close-call between this and -tohit/-regen ability (Diagmagnetic?)

For Destiny, I'm in two minds between the +def/+res (Barrier?) or +rec/+rech.

Lore......no idea!! =oS

The I6 'Tom's Foolery' Ill/rad guide in the list upthread still works fine. My ( recent ) 50 is mostly based on it.
