Mad Grim

War's Herald is unable to go redside, but Shadow of Kronos is pure evil. Literally.

Yea, the Battalion have recruited multiple species. The red lava looking shivans work for the Battalion, while the blue shivans are fleeing from them.

The specifics were 480 to 600 seconds, actually. So somewhere between eight to ten minutes.

Yea, it definitely needs to be brought down. A lot.

Yea, like I said, it adds a 20% knockdown chance to things without knockback. So it will, occasionally, make things fall down while in the caltrop patch.

Well, that already happens in all incarnate content, even the solo ones. And really... there isn't much of a difference.

Te Overwhelming Force proc, when used in a power that has no knockback capabilities, adds in a 20% chance for knockdown. I think there is another one, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

No, they have shown us nothing of the sort. MC doesn't get mez protection, it gets a mez break. On a five minute timer.

I'm not disagreeing about the need for mez protection, but the devs have shown no intent to give it.

I remain lonely, but now I'm lonely in style.

Yea, didn't even count the countless rikti, due to them being... countless.

My computer couldn't even handle Tyrant's personal story without DCing me four times. This is absurd.

Lets see, 48 masterminds, x7... plus a few extras for Thugs, necros, and dark miasma...

We're looking at about 350. On the low side.

Yea, and Masterminds as an AT don't really have problems. The only place they start to lag behind is the extreme high end, because IOs don't benefit Masterminds as much as other ATs. Which is why my suggested solution is something that only affects Masterminds with IOs.

It isn't the AT itself that is under-performing, it is a few sets in particular that are lagging behind the other sets.

Mercenaries is often considered the least powerful Mastermind set, which is why you may think they're under-performing.

Is it even on Corruptors? I thought it was solely for MMs.

Beast and pain do have a lot of synergy, though.

We need to start recruiting again, its getting lonely.

I think manually giving your pets inspirations already cuts them by half of what they would affect you.

How would replacing a power with mez protection break the rule but replacing a power with a rez not?

That said Rise of the Phoenix is one of the coolest rezzes, and having something like that added into some APPs would be nice.

If MMs as a whole are under-performing for you, then its safe to say that the problem is not with the AT.

Yes, but even before the Battalion came the Rikti already didn't believe in gods. The gods may or may not have existed in their world, but the rikti relied on technology rather than magic long before the Battalion showed up.

I think most people know it won't fix everything, and most people also know that it isn't possible to fix everything. But they are fixing quite a few things. But "Fix quite a few things!" is not as catchy as "Fix all the things!".

I don't think it'd be weak. Only one power in Kinetics has to do with giving allies more recharge. You'd have an AoE heal, a way to buff all of your pets damage to the roof, a nice s/l resistance buff that also makes them nearly immune to mez... and even Speed Boost to buff their endurance recovery so you could get away without slotting endurance reduction in them.
