Thank you for your Ninja's Guide. I've been searching through the forums, reading the various posts on the different Master Mind sets...and I have to say, hands down, Ninja's is my favorite.
I've tried the Necromancy set...liked it, but it didn't quite fit the "feel" I was looking for. Mercs...I played to about level 6, then gave up...They were fun, but, still didn't fit the "feel."
I have a level 26 Bots/Traps guy...he's fun, but I had read all the hype about how much Assault Bot rocked and wanted to get in on the fun. Well, it wasn't nearly as fun as I had hoped...and as others had promised.
SOOOO...I returned to my Ninja/Dark Miasma guy....the only MM set that I truly enjoyed. He (Havok Shade - Infinity Server) is only level 16, but, OOOGLY MOOGLY is he fun! I can't wait to get more ninja-pets....can you say, "Crazy fun!"? I knew you could.
I have a fellow teacher-friend of mine (also a level 16 Ninja/Dark) who teams with me...unfortunately, only about once a week, so my Ninja-love-fest doesn't come around as often as I would like.
I've been playing for nearly a year (and am still bummed about what a panzy my level 50 Fire/Ice tank is now since I5 & I6 pulped him), and absolutely LOVE the Ninja MM AT.
I only solo...very (VERY) rarely team....actually I only team with the two ninja guys...AND, on CoH with my Empath (if I need to level him). SOOOO...the Ninja/Dark MM is the perfect choice for me...and guides like this one, help to strengthen that experience.
The other week, my teammate and I were stopped by a bots guy who made it an adamant point in telling us that Bots were BY FAR better than our Ninjas. Since then, I created a macro so my ninja squad can join me while I laugh.
Ninjas indeed rule...and Bots do drool....hee hee (not really, Ninjas just fit my play style better than bots do)....and besides...I would need the next Bot-upgrade so the pets don't rust in all that saliva. HA
