Bots /FF Guide
Here's my guide to the Necro/Dark MM, as well as my build as a very off kilter Scrappermind sort of thing. It's weird, but it works, and its a lot of fun.
Don Uvas's Recipe for Necromancy
Have fun, and hope it helps!
Here's my Guide now updated for I7 and including both info on the Patron Powers and my admission that I might finally need Stamina.
Kissing With No Lips - the Continuing Tale of Undead Love in a World Gone so, so Wrong
Mercenaries/Trick Arrow - Rambo Meets Robin Hood, my new guide.
Please remove the I6 version and replace it with this one.
R_M's I7 Robotics/Dark Miasma Mastermind Guide
A lot of the MM guides seem to be down. Just wanting to point that out.
A lot of them are tied into the red version of the boards. All you have to do is copy the link, then change the boards.cityofvillians.com to boards.cityofheroes.com and they will all work fine. :P

Post deleted for stupidity.
This really bogs down the thread. I'm glad you're trying to help people by posting your Guide, but doing it here makes an already long thread hard to trudge through. Just post your guide in the Guides forum and everything should be fine.
...Damnation, I just figured out how to do it. Posts in the Guide forum don't die. Looks like common sense ISN'T so common, as is often said by the smart people around here. --;
Gonna try and delete this post and do it the right way. Thanks a bunch, Geek Boy. I 'preciate it.
And without further ado, here it is, free from (most) of my stupidity! Once again, thanks to Geek Boy, whose voice of not-being-a-[censored]-idiot-ness has made this guide possible.
Don Uvas's Recipe for Necromancy
No problem.
I could really use some help with building a thugs/Dark Mastermind. I can't seem to find any build guides on the Thugs set. Dark I'm familiar with, but not sure how the powers synergize with the Thugs. Anyone out there with a build/guide that could help?

Hope this helps!
Anyone have a Thugs/Traps guide?
Since my Ninja MM is of Magic origin i went with Dark Miasma.
At lvl 16 the powers i currently have in DM are Twilight Grasp and Twilight Howl(mainly used for the disorient effect when fighting large groups of mobs). I also have Grant Invis and which i use on my Ninjas.
Update to my Necro/Dark Mastermind Guide for Issue 8 can be found in my sig and right here.
I have posted a revised version of my MM Numpad Pet Controls guide in the player guides section linked here. Thanks!

I have updated my guide. Here's the link to Don Uvas's New and Improved Necromancy Cookbook! You will also be able to find it in my updated sig. Enjoy, happy holidays, and happy cooking!
Umm...does anyone know where i can find a thugs/Poison guide?
Thought I had posted this. Saw a couple links to Thug/Dark guides and I think mine is more useful than 2 of the 3. I explain the option of not taking pistol powers (which seems to confuse a lot of folks). Updated yesterday, enjoy.

Can you please include my Ninja/Dark guide? I did provide a link to it quite some time ago but it seems to have been missed in this latest update. Thanks.
Thanks Poison Pill! I updated the Guide Link Post for Masterminds with your new version. If anyone has any refinements or something that was missed, please post here or PM us. Thanks!
For anyone who may be interested in helping to update a Guide Link Post (like the one Poison Pill did) visit this post in the Player Guide forums.
