Apparently so.

Im hoping to get the old band back together at some point...

That being said..

I have to say I disagree with just about everyone here posting. Since you did say the like meaning something like this, that is pretty open ended.

I happen to have a Semi pet-less mastermind DS / Trap which has the last pet only and only the 2nd upgrade because I liked the look of the ice sword on the demon pet.

My build is completely defense capped and I currently have T3 Cardiac on him as well since on any Petless MM endurance is a tremendous issue.

I can and have soloed Crey Fire farm on a 2/8 setting comfortably and a 3/8 setting with a bit of work and closer attention.

I have seen players with a full set of powers to choose from that could not solo 1/5 setting let alone 2/8 setting. Heck I have seen lvl 50 tanks and brutes that couldn't solo Crey Fire on a 4/8 setting without having players feed them inspirations. So I think this whole notion of gimping one self irrelevant. I think if you understand some of the math, game mechanics and of course the money you can do anything in this game. I have no purple sets in the build as well.

I am not sure how pain would work. I do have a Pain DS MM that has around 660% personal regeneration. I don't know how well that would work when your taking a beating. I can say I survive much more then the pets do. I guess I could test it out with the one whip attack and a few vet powers just to see how I fair against some settings solo without pets.

My next plan is to use the 2nd build to create a SO pet build and run incarnate missions to unlock the rest of the alphas. I think just getting the T3s would be very interesting. Sadly the SO build is not defense capped but I will admit has more pets to produce greater dps output.

But again I have seen several lousy builds on these forums by players purporting to solo AVs with caltrops, so I think you need to see the build or know the source sometimes. Which I know clearly well works the other way as well.

In order to create missions through the Architect, you either have to be VIP or have attained at least Reward Level 6 (12 month sub/$180 PP).



Possibly, but I believe it depends on the difficulty settings of the player running your arc.



If you want all of your mobs to spawn at the same combat/threat level, make sure your pacing (found under "Mission Parameters") is set to flat. There are sometimes spawns that will not con the same, but generally they'll be pretty even.



This question is entirely subjective and differs based on a number of factors. The biggest thing you should concern yourself with is whether YOU are satisfied with your custom group.



This is a huge issue with the Architect. They instituted a profanity filter a while back that filters out known copy-righted names. Unfortunately, a good deal of those names are shared by canon characters and they are copy-righted as well. "Ghost" is the culprit in Ghost's Hand (Hand may be too). I'm not sure about Johnny Shadow, but I'd be willing to bet the offender there is "Johnny". It sucks, but until they COMPLETELY fix the filter, we have to work within the limits we have.
