What about Ice/Dark? -ToHit plays with +Def, naturally. Dark Consumption plays with Energy Absorbtion and suddenly you have even fewer End problems.

Hello folks.
I just broke down a Notice of the Well. I now have 40 threads. What to do what to do? Those PBAoE buffs work for pets, I assume? As I have a Bots/Traps, built heavily towards defense, which would you pick? I'm leaning towards Barrier (assuming that's not redundant) or Rebirth. -

Forgive my ignorance but why no Buckshot?

You might not understand the scale of the divided damage, though. The others have explained it, but let me throw some numbers on you.
Base MM HP at level 50 is 803. I'm at work, so I don't have the exact HP numbers for pets, but Minion HP at 50 is 430, so let's go with that just for an example. So your setup looks like this:
You: 803
Battle Drone: 430
Battle Drone: 430
Battle Drone: 430
Protector Bot: 430
Protector Bot: 430
Assault Bot: 430
Total HP Pool: 3383
That's a lot of HP to play with. Let's say you're up against an EB or AV with a big attack, like Total Focus, that does a whopping 1200 damage. If it hits you and you don't have BG mode on, you're dead. If it hits a bot, only the bot's dead, but you have to spend some time resummoning and possibly upgrading, and in the meantime you have less firepower or support, depending on who died.
But if you have BG mode on and you taunt the AV so it hits you with Total Focus? Well, with BG mode, you take 2 shares of damage and your bots take 1 share each, so that's 8 shares total. 1200 damage/8 shares = 150 damage per share. You take 300 damage and your bots take 150 damage each. Everyone survives.
By spreading out the damage, you vastly reduce the effectiveness of the attack. And because you're an MM, you probably have buffs or heals to repair that damage, or even mitigate it in the first place. That's the power of proper tankerminds.
Thanks all very much for the advice and numbers. It's a good thing I'm half way done with the Perfect Zinger set. A respec awaits. -
So, let's say I have my Bots/Traps. I give him Provoke. I also take all my Rifle powers.
Here's a mob. The alpha strike is taken by Seekers. Traps are laid down. Now I start blasting and taunting.
I am more effective in both survivability and DPS than I would be just twiddling my thumbs and waiting for my Bots to go down.
Did I guess right? Thanks for working with me here. -
Please forgive my ignorance but I just can't wrap my noodle around this one, despite all the guides advice. To taunt is to gather all aggro on you. That's bad, isn't it? You want the aggro on your expendable minions, right? I do understand the shared/divided HP (hopefully) but still. If I go down, everyone goes down. If a Drone goes down, I just build another one.
Currently, I play a Bots/Traps named Dr. Preposterous and love it. He's 46 and in PvE, I can handle high level mobs. He has no sets just yet, as I'm saving my pennies.
I'd love to understand this but... -
Stumbled across these today. Not often do I play a Child of Defender unless my own black sheep needs tending.
These stories are biblical! I'm in love! Please keep it up! -
First time I made a Mastermind and played it seriously was maybe three years ago, maybe longer, before IOs came out. Then I went Blue side exclusively, with the exception of one Brute and one Stalker. Now I'm back and Masterminding, and loving my Bots/Traps.
My question is, all those lovely little set bonuses you get via sets, are they passed on to your babies as well? Specifically, Gaussian's Synchronized Fire-Control and the like, which have a chance for build up. Who's getting that? Me, my pets or both?
Pardon my ignorance. -
