I pvp with my Necro/Storm quite a bit and he's a beast. Melee ATs are just swamped, MMs get pets tossed around. Ranged ATs get their range nerfed because of my taunt and hurricane.

@Rock
Gonna miss you bro, we've had some great fun. Take care of yourself. Oh, can i has your stuff


@Tonyv
you're a very angry person, just stop posting lol. If you're tired of these threads, ignore them. It's really that easy.

Yea I'm aware, I just used spec ops as an example since the OP is a merc/poison. As far as using stay, it's just a personal preference.

Which part do you mean Auspice, I've left a few post in this thread.

Mastermind pets cannot be commanded to give out specific attacks.

With the right macro setup, you can use your spec ops to snipe targets. Move them to a location that snipe is the only power in range. Order them to "stay", target the mob and attack. You must quickly move them again otherwise they will run in to use other attacks.

But, what about the position control?

[/ QUOTE ]

We have that through binds.

My reasoning for wanting control over what powers were used would be more to have my pets use ranged attacks against classes that have high melee attacks and melee attacks against those that have significant ranged attacks. I agree that keeping them from using all of their attacks lessons the DPS, but as the saying goes "all money aint good money." I'd like to play some pets close to the chest for protection for me or them, have some favor status attacks over straight up attacks for obvious reasons (unless the foe in question is immune then take that and turn it around).

Believe me, I understand the want to remove useless powers from their arsenal. I'd remove stim from the medic since all he does is spam it randomly. Remove brawl from the majority of my pets would also be high on the list.

Regardless of the fact the AT is called 'Mastermind', limitations were set for balance reasons.

This combo was my first corr at 50 and was an absolute blast. Basilisk pretty much covered everything in his post. I'd just like to add a few procs to your planned build I've found usefull.

Devastation: chance for hold is gold slotted into Mortar, turns it into a little AoE hold. (Note: MMs can't slot this in mortar :P ). The kb proc from the purple AoE set is funny as hell while slotted into caltrops

And yes stamina is quite optional, I picked it up for drawn out fights. It's pretty much up to you.

The medic can't be relied upon for healing or using his stimulate. The spec ops can't be relied upon for their controls either really. Play as it's not there and compensate for the loss.

IMHO after playing a few hundred lvls of Mastermind, complete control would overpower the class. The randomness of the attacks keeps this AT in balance with all the other ATs. There are several guides to bind writing that would improve gameplay a ton.

Off topic:
Is their a way to have pets attack your target while keeping them in defense mode instead of attacking random enemies? I would like to mass my fires while keeping my pets near me for the dmg mitigation and +status for them. Just curious.

Okay my best advice, play aggressively. Put all your pets in defensive/follow and attack first yourself. Pets will defend you when attacked and wont fly off the handle and run all over the place

A MM with no pets is like a Scrapper with 2 attacks and none of their toggles, a Stalker without Hide, a Dominator that never uses Domination...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well with my Mind/Psi Dom, I actually do forget to use DOmination. I can usually go 2 or 3 missions before I remember domination, and I really do not have that much difficulty. Then again, Mind locks down pretty effectively.

[/ QUOTE ]

Forgetting to use it and refusing to use it are two different things.

My opinions always been petless is waste of time. It's the players 15 bucks if they want to play petless. I just wont have it on my team, its my 15 bucks and my preference.

This mix can tank and do it well, but as Flechette stated. Get your accolades and get IO'd out. Mine is sitting at 2.3k hp and does quite well vs AVs.

My personal focus was Regen > HP > Recharge

Mine does have the Numina, Miracle, and Panacea procs slotted. Don't worry too much about the panacea proc its not dire, I just wanted it for the extra endurance gain.

Which AV is this? I'd like to run my MMs against her.

I actually prefer PD over Empathy, I'm glad it's not a carbon copy. Just because people will be able to bring empaths over to redside doesn't remove the appeal of corrupters.

Defenders are lower damage and they don't have scourge. Sure they heal for more, but a good corr don't have to heal if the targets dead.

All of them IIRC, doesn't lower damage output. But visually annoying IMO.

Take the immob from your patron.

Well considering Demon will no doubt have something with fire. They will no doubt get thermal as a secondary.

I state my want yet again.

FLAMING ZOMBIES NAO PLZ!!!!

and no the Oni from Ninjas isn't enough to discount a heavy fire set. It will be a mix of damage types just like the other sets.

AR = Snooze Fest. Please drive through.

lawls Mine has FullAuto up every 20 seconds. Aint no snooze fest there

Finally, red-side will be able to bathe in the green aura just like the heroes have for five years!

Seriously, though... will red-side Defenders crowd out Corruptors, or will all the Corrs have left to blue-side anyway so it won't matter?

[/ QUOTE ]

lol TBH not many redsiders even care for empathy. Never once been on a redside team where somebody cried "I wish we had a empath to complete this". Corrs are very different in gameplay when compared to defenders even if their powersets are reversed.

My main defender can floor a targets recharge and speed. But my main corr can scourge a FullAuto every 20 seconds.

The name of the expansion is "going rogue", they aint renaming zones.

I have Gravitational Anchor: Chance for Hold in Fire Cages. It only seems really effective against minions, where the mag 2 hold will mezz them in one application.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've seen it hit bosses for a short time, even helps stack holds on EBs and AVs

My fire/mental blaster has a hold proc in all his ST blast, and 2 hold procs in char . As does my corrs and defenders, I slot it standard for a bit of damage mitigation.

/em khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn

I miss this proc working on my Thug MMs Bruiser :/

Positron did indeed state a new Primary was in the works. I don't recall him stating it was Demons. But TBH this means MMs might get /Thermal. So I don't care, FLAMING ZOMBIES NAO PLZ!!

It dc'd Infinity and now we can't find anything blue or redside. :/
