  1. Could be testing the waters for an animal mastermind set. See how the attack animations work and all that jazz. Personally I'd prefer a SWAT unit for MM's next, but I'll take whatever I can get.
  2. It sounds like the area where the Arachnos attack. That area IS Hellions...right up until you do the mission for Aaron that turns that area into an Arachnos occupied spot. But until you reach that 'phasing' line as it were, all you'll see are the hellions.

    You uh, you do realize that pets do more then just damage, right? I mean not all of them, obviously, but they uh, they are a good way away from just being 'glorified DoTs'. Hated that saying in other MMO's, hate it just as much here.

    Supes is a Tanker with Scrapper Damage Mods.
    With a touch of Speed, Blaster, and Controller thrown into the mix for gits and shiggles.
  5. Mercs/Assault rifle so I can be one of the boys! No...really..

    Mercs/Thugs. Guns. Lots of guns.

    Any MM/MM with a different Patron Pool type then they have now, so we'd have two boss pets. Or three, in this case.

    Demons/Thugs. Demons/Demons. I'd have a field day with Masterminds really.
  6. Sometimes I still forget to make sure my minions are actually functioning when running into battle. Meaning I'll often give the "KILL!" order, only to find myself attacking a spawn alone...with my minions still waiting patiently by the door.

    What, no interest in seeing Sky Raiders? Or Carnival of Light? Or Arachnos? C'mon! Something!

    Seriously though, I agree with you.
  8. My wager is that after Staff fighting we'll see a new MM primary. Okay, thta's also my hope, so maybe my guessing is effected by personal desire this time...
  9. Its probably worth noting that some enemies are highly resistant to holds and such even if they are minions or lieutenants. Mikes life fun for low level controllers.
  10. I was wondering about that! Not only the weird ragdolls, but the total lack of shell casings. That always made me giggle before, finishing a big fight on my Mercs or Soldier, and looking down to see a ton of casings on the floor. Sadness. I hope they fix this soon.

  12. Yeah, I figured he meant the overall minimum, not the arc-to-arc minimum.
  13. Not yet, Episode 5 is due to come out probably next week. Minimum level so far is 30.
  14. Not entirely sure what would confuse you. They've also mentioned completely removing the target of Who Will Die? from the game. Also, from Positrons comment he isn't being removed immediately, but rather down the line. Maybe plenty of time for people to have run the arc and see what happens? Either way, I think both scenarios are possible.
  15. You came back to these forums WILLINGLY? ...are you...okay in the head?

    Welcome back either way!

So I do not understand how one player regardless of AT or build could in any way shape or form drag a team down.

    Again I think your just posting stuff just to post without understanding what goes on behind the scenes with this game. Or your playing on some very poor teams.

    Your statement really just does not make any legitimate sense.
    Eh, I wasn't going to get involved with this particular discussion, but you kinda forced my hand. His statement makes plenty of sense, and I don't really see how you can say it doesn't. An MM who doesn't take anything pet related isn't taking MOST of his powerset, leaving behind an entire THREE powers. Further, MOST of an MM's damage comes from it's six minions, so any amount of 'impressive' damage you could deal petless, could be more then doubled by HAVING minions. So yes, without a doubt you ARE gimping yourself. Now based on MM's secondaries, you can still be effective support, but again with minions you can deal good/great WHILE being effective support.

    I am not trying to tell people to not do this. Do what you want to do, enjoy the game. This is just pointed at people who are trying to say that you won't be 'dragging down a team' or that it's just as effective.
  17. Veteran powers. Seriously. Sands of Mu or Ghost Slaying axe and Blackwand or the Nemesis staff. Otherwise it'll take you forever to kill anything.
  18. These rules also apply to non-mastermind minions as well, though I suppose that is neither here nor there. Remember to slot them for a little extra hit and you'll be fine.

    You also have farm versions without the handles. Thats what I used when I was younger, to slice down grain or weeds with.
  20. Called it. Kind of sad that they didn't resolve things with Tate or any of the other ghosts, really.

    Man! You mind sharing that future reading ability of yours with the rest of us? Or maybe your source? I'd REALLY like to know where this wellspring of knowledge and...confidence comes from.

    Unless they changed their minds on it last time I checked, then that ones out. Its currently being called a bug that you can use the token pre-twenty. We'll see what comes of it.

    Eh, it's just a theory. We'll see how it goes.
  25. I noticed that myself. Building up my heroes, Elite Bosses were fairly rare. On my villain, I am facing off against them nearly every other story arc.
