(1/2) As long as you can get a TP resist IO, you'll be hard set to best Bot/Traps (given your options). You essentially become your own private super fortress. Any who dare venture to close will... well.. trigger your traps. Acid mortars and land mines and such. Does pretty good damage, is sturdy, and offers good debuffing. I wouldn't go Bot/FF anymore. Well, you could, but only if diminishing returns is off. If you let Bot/FF get hit by the DR curv, ugh, it's just terrible. Low damage and mediocre survivability. If you do go with no DR curve, than Bot/FF is amazingly sturdy... abliet still very low damage.

3) Yes, those are quite standard, and will be useful to you. Though I may recommend Teleport over SS, as you can then keep you pets close, and your enemies... even closer.

Errr...why? Why couldn't both Praetoria and the Rikti dimension be on different sides of our dimension? Why would one be below, and one to the side?

Why couldn't it be:

(Praetoria) <---> (Our world) <---> (Rikti)



edit -> also, there are plenty more dimensions that are brought up in the game.

There's a dimension that your alternate self destroyed. There's a dimension that Nemesis took over. There's a dimension that the Council took over (IIRC), etc.

We already have more than 4 Dimensions.

Ahh, I guess that's definitely a point. I forfeit my theory, carry on.

I was recently thinking about our dimensional plains, and was curious if anyone thought about this as well or had anything to add. We have three dimensions obviously: Praetorion, Rikti, and Our own. But if you look at how they set up, one thinks there may be a 4th dimension. Adjacent to Praetoria, but a mirror of the rikti.

(Our world) <-----> (Rikti homeworld)
......^...............................^
......I................................I

(Praetoria) <-----> ( ____________? )

Actually, MM Dark Servant has an 8 minute recharge base, lasts 4minutes, but the recharge can be enhanced to be made perma.

Dark Servant is not a controllable minion like your others, it's more like fire imps or singi or other pets of that nature.

Storm has a lot of field disrupting and manipulating powers, like gale, hurricane, and snow storm are great at keeping mobs in toe. This makes it so your melee pets won't have to run all over everywhere to constantly keep up with enemies.

I'd go Necro/Pain though, I know I've loved it.This thing is amazingly durable, best team survivability MM really..
Necro/Storm is also great, you'll be with your pets often, and the -tohit of GK and Lich stacks with hurricane, and O2 is a handy heal when needed, this pairing has great synergy for being survivable and plenty able to lay down some pain.

I'm not going to say ninjas, they aren't best synergy for the options you give, still viable though. (course all IMO)

ah. That explains a lot, thanks.

I await this feature for protector bot seekers. This would be a life saver.

They need to port /Kin over....
Mua ha ha ha!

Just double checked this in the game:
Combat attributes for zombies
Info numbers for zombies

It's a good bit weaker than it reads, but the smashing resistance IS there.
Also, it appears that in the info tab the zombies armor scales up a LOT with level, where as in actuality it doesn't change much at all. I

Tread slowly and carry a big stick =P

But really, pets had a speed increase a while ago (can't remember when, all I know is it made ninjas completely ridiculous to control... well more so)
I'd recommend not going too fast. Be sneaky, use sprint, or get a group travel like group TP or group fly.

The power Full Auto has a "lucky shot" component. Every tic has a small chance to crit. No it isn't very noticeable.

That's... odd. Check their combat attributes too, to be sure.

Power sets? hummm. Yeah that's a toughy. He's a tough efficient captain with a high level of badassery.
He seems pretty good at dealing with people and manipulation, so Mind Control may be an option. Secondary, hmmmm

Could this be a hint of the Bow Sword melee set?!

Anyways, I encountered this tanker out of SHEER coincidence, and their costume was a PERFECT counter to my own!
The left is the other person, Onimod, a tanker, and right is Meer, my peacebringer
The couple in question

Small world =D

IIRC the snow storm, tornado, and freezing rain powers generate some degree of "flee" mechanic as well... though I'm pretty sure EBs and above resist those flee effects.

I dunno what to say, really. That set up is big bane for you. I'd recommend coming with BreakFrees, some other inspirations, and just being persistent.

If you have 3 power slots you can use, I'd recommend going Recall friend, Teleport, Hover.

Teleport is the fastest travel in the game, but it's also high on endurance use before some slotting, and has a bit of a learning curve.
Fly is super easy and convenient to use, but not as fast+ the only benefit for you is the view, which you can take hover for.

None of his attacks show up as having a taunt, but I'm pretty sure he has the 400% taunt modifier on him, which would keep enemy attention much better than anything else anytime he attacks.

there is no way. When you make a macro, it attempts to roll all actions into one single sequence. Hence why you can't have multiple powexecs in the same string. You can't have pets in two actions at once, unfortunately.

well, you want to focus on Recharge, really. The faster they're up the better. Then If you go for sets, slot 4 dark watchers and a generic recharge IO. That will ED cap recharge, help the debuff, and give you some great bonuses.

Had the desire to roll a Dm/Inv tonight. He will be mainly for pve, but since one of the badges for an accolade requires spending a few hours in a pvp zone, I figure I may as well enjoy some pvp as well. Any suggestions as to what powers to skip, what bonusi to shoot for? Should I reroll as a WP?

You will, at least, be a survivable brute. As mentioned, the new calculations with animation time reduced the damage of many of DM/ attacks so much so that they're actually kind of meager.
However, the level of mixed mitigation you'll be getting with a blend of heals, resistance, -tohit, and defense, means the DR curve won't hit you as hard as it may others. I wouldn't really skip any power, except maybe shadow paunch, taunt, or shadow maul, But shadow maul's HUGE animation time also means its damage is actually the highest in the set (IIRC). It's just silly.

For sets, I'd aim for extra +def, +rech, and +accuracy, and +damage

Bot/storm or necro/poison are optimal pairings imho.

Here's what we're looking at here:
Bots: Slow attack chains, but powerful attack chains. They are durable, and packed with AoEs post 32
Zombies: great, mostly melee, damage in mostly single target farm. The have some debuffs packed into their attacks, and the lich is a great debuff/control pet. They retain a rather Single Target focus through their career.

Storm: a Field disrupting set who's only similar counterpart is probably /TA. packed with great debuffs and mob controlling powers. I say go with Bot/Storm cause the AoE debuffs mesh very well with BoTs, and the sheer carnage it will ensue is very very intense.
Poison: A debuff centric set, mostly single target. Very click heavy, but potent. I say go with zombies/ cause of the way debuffs stack and the already single target nature of zombies is well combined to make a sheer ST killer.

They aren't built to be summoned near you before a fight, they're built to be summoned INTO the fight. Spawn them in the middle of the mob when ready. They will hone in on enemies, lay down a decent debuff, AND take most of the mob's "alpha" off of your hands. The bots will start firing immediately cause some 'pets' were attacked. Just rethink your tactics.

You want THIS!
