Ultimate Bots/FF Guide (I6)

Tag for later.

This guide is absolutely superb. Thank you -- you just made my villain a lot more fun!

I will update for I7 when it hits Live.

I'm in the process of re-vamping it as we speak, to include the Recharge adjustments in various powers and how Force Fields will fare in the Post-I7/Defense Change world.

Cheers!

dont forget to mention the complete nerfage of our toggle drop capabilities

and the prevalance of knockback protection (acro) in pvp

Great guide, thanks for taking the time to write it!

I've played my Robot/FF MM up to 26 without any reference, and he's performed well enough to be enjoyable. The dead period leading up to 24 is rough, but it's a great power boost once you get your second Protector Bot (and subsequently, the Assault Bot).

I avoided taking the personal attacks, since I knew I wanted to focus on providing buffs for my Bots (which are the real damage-dealers). Besides, having to re-draw the weapons every time you use a FF power is annoying.

One thing in particular that the guide helps with, are the raw numbers. I had no clue that Maneuvers and the ProtBot's FF were so pathetic. Playing around with slotting is difficult, due to the horrible in-game economy for Infamy/Influence. Sadly, it really discourages experimentation.

I look forward to the I7 updates to the guide!

I just read through your guide and really enjoyed it.
I have read through several others, but I think your setup may be best for my play style.


And where's the i7 update you promised us? :P

Thanks for taking the time to write both your guides both of them have helped a ton.... thanks again

Holy crap...totally wrote the guide and never posted it.

And now, I don't have time to post it. I'll hopefully put it up tomorrow or over the weekend.

My bad guys! (So shameful...)

Alright, the new Guide is up!
