ARCHTYPE SUMMERY

The Mastermind
Hit Points: Low
Damage: Medium
Primary Powers: Summon
Secondary Powers: Support
A Basic Overview
As a Mastermind, you excel at using others to do your dirty work. Perhaps you build killer robots, command deadly Ninja, order hardened soldiers, or summon the undead to do your bidding. Whatever your choice, you have an army of minions at your beck and call. You can summon them when needed, order them to work your will, and even use your powers to enhance them or weaken your foes. The Mastermind is a difficult class to play, often demanding constant attention to control your minions and stave off the retribution of your enemies. Learn to use the Goto command.
Summons:
There are 3 basic Sub-types of summons: Henchmen, Pets, and Objects. Even though Henchmen are generically lumped in as Pets, they all differ in some very important ways. <ul type="square">[*]HENCHMEN - Henchmen can be issued commands, and they are the core of the Masterminds Primary Power Sets. Henchmen exist indefinitely until the Mastermind changes map zones, are dismissed, or are defeated. Also, unlike pets, Henchmen can be given unique names.[*]PETS - Pets can not be issued commands, are temporary and must be resummoned periodically. Pets act as if always on Follow Aggressive though they may not always be mobile, they are in fact, targetable.[*]OBJECTS - Objects are items or effects that are separate from the character and are untargetable.[/list]
Henchmen Powers
Each Mastermind Power Set has three Henchmen powers, the first one is available at level 1, the second is available at level 12, and the last one is available at level 26.
The Tier 1 Henchmen power can summon up to three Henchmen. You get one Henchman at level 1 to 5. At level 6 you get your second Tier 1 Henchman, and at level 18 you get your third. When you get your second Tier 1 Henchman, they are both summoned at 1 level below you. When you get your third Tier 1 Henchman they are all summoned 2 levels below you. There is no option to summon less than those numbers.
The Tier 2 Henchmen power can summon up to two Henchmen. You get the second Tier 2 Henchman at level 24. These Henchmen tend to be "support" Henchmen, for example the Protector Bot has a Force Field power and when upgraded gets a healing power.
The Tier 3 Henchmen power summons one Henchman at your level. This is your most powerful Henchman.
When summoned your Henchmen will have your name under theirs. This is so you can tell whose Henchmen belong to whom. You can also name your Henchmen by right-clicking them and selecting "Rename". From that point forward that Henchman is going to be summoned with that name. You can rename your Henchmen at any time.
Slotting Henchmen Powers
These Henchmen powers are all capable of having Enhancement Slots put in them. These slots affect the Henchman that are summoned. If you put Damage Enhancements into those slots, then the summoned Henchmen will do more damage. If you put Defense Buff Enhancements into those slots, your Henchmen will have better Defense. If you put an Endurance Reduction into those slots, your Henchmen will use less endurance when using his powers. Henchmen powers can not take Recharge Reduction enhancements.
Some of the types of enhancements allowed to be slotted by in a henchmen are only applicable once a henchmen is upgraded with one of the two upgrade powers in the Power Sets.
Endurance Reduction Enhancements will affect both your endurance cost for summoning AND reduce the endurance costs for the henchmen summoned.
Supremacy
Masterminds have an inherent, unslottable, power called Supremacy. This power is an "aura" power that increases the Accuracy and Damage of your Henchmen that are close to you. This ensures that Masterminds that want maximum effectiveness out of their Henchmen are somewhat at risk themselves of attack. Supremacy adds 25% to damage, 10% to accuracy, has a 65 foot radius, and is line-of-sight dependant. With Supremacy, Masterminds can benefit from Bodyguards as well.
Bodyguard Mode
Any Henchmen under the effects of Supremacy and in Follow/Defensive will act like Bodyguards for the Mastermind. Every Henchmen who is in Bodyguard mode takes a single share of any damage that hits the Mastermind, and the Mastermind only receives two shares. All shares are divided up evenly.
Traveling With Henchmen
Henchmen can NOT travel across zone boundaries or into mission maps. You must resummon them on the new map. If you get too far away from your Henchmen on any given map, they will automatically resummon themselves near you (keeping any buffs they had). Note that this is different than pets, which have a limited life span and will attempt to follow you however they can regardless, and will not resummon themselves near you.
Inspirations
Inspirations can be used on your Henchmen by dragging the Inspiration from your tray onto the name of the Henchman you want to inspire in your Pet Window. You can not use an Awaken Inspiration on your Henchmen, but they will gladly accept all other Inspirations and use them immediately.
You can also drag the Inspiration directly onto the Henchmen you wish to inspire.
Upgrading Your Henchmen
There are two Upgrade powers in each Mastermind Primary power set. These add powers onto your Henchmen. The powers added vary by the Henchman being upgraded. For example, Zombies get a vomit-like ranged attack, and Battle Drones receive a Snipe attack with the first Upgrade power. Your Henchmen will use these new powers as part of his attack routine. You must re-equip the upgrades every time a henchmen is summoned, but each upgrade lasts until the henchman is either defeated or dismissed. Each upgrade is independent of the other and when both are available you can equip both upgrades (generally recommended) as they are bestow different abilities.
Henchmen AI
Henchmen either "Prefer Ranged" or "Prefer Melee". This means the type of combat that you want them to be fighting in the majority of the time. This does not mean that they will only use Ranged or Melee attacks. Robot Henchmen prefer ranged attacks, but will use their melee attack if the enemy is close enough. They will not back out of melee range just to use ranged attacks, but they will use ranged attacks in melee (though that is not always for the best.) Henchmen will generally "stay" in either a Ranged or Melee mode when attacking, though some henchmen have a tendency to run into melee while others will attack from range regardless of what their preferred mode of attack should be. When issuing an attack, henchmen will start their attack from Range unless you move them close in to the target by either leading them to the target as they follow you or use the GOTO command to send them close to the target. If you need to pull them out away from the target you should use a DEFENSIVE (or PASSIVE) FOLLOW command to call them back to you or a GOTO command to move them away from the target (and you).
Henchmen that can cast buffs will do so to ensure that you and all of your other Henchmen have the buff. Henchmen that heal will heal the most damaged legal target when the healing power is recharged. (Protector Bot healing can only heal other robots, not characters).
Henchmen can always see everything, regardless of whether they react to it or not. Henchmen are always targeting, regardless of what mode they are in, whether AGGRESSIVE, DEFENSIVE, or PASSIVE. The mode they are in merely limits their reactive range of perception. One curiosity about this is that sometimes they will find targets that are unidentifiable or targetable to players and will attack them or try to attack them. These are relatively benign bugs usually with the map.
Henchmen can turn on and off aura powers which they are granted, such as Group Fly.
Henchmen perceive everything in a "list". This list has no apparent rhyme or reason, it just is. Henchmen do not prioritize this list in any way that has been consistently observed. One oddity of this is that if a Freakshow mob is defeated by a henchmen and that henchmen moves on to another target, if the defeated Freakshow mob revives, the henchmen will break from its current target and return to the revived Freakshow mob to attack it.
Weaknesses
The Mastermind has 3 critical weak points: Any AoE (Area of Effect) Attacks which are especially strong against multiple targets (Fire is very bad, Earth is pretty bad too), large single damage attacks which can easily and quickly devastate lower tier henchmen, and the Mastermind who vulnerable to just about anything and has low hitpoints and is easily mezzed (confuse based mez is exceptionally bad as it will allow you to command henchmen but randomizes the command). Keeping your henchmen up and running is important as when a henchmen dies, its aggro must go somewhere, and the fewer henchmen there are left, the greater the chance of the Mastermind being the target of that stray aggro.
------------------------------------------------------------
COMMANDING HENCHMEN AND HENCHMEN OPTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Just Starting Out
------------------------------------------------------------
When you start as a Mastermind, you have three pre-made Macros set up for you. You can also find these in your Powers Tab located on your power tray. You will need at least one other: /macro Goto, petcom_all goto This macro will let you send your henchmen to a target destination, such as sending Zombies into a mob to do melee with them. These are not ideal for any character but they will let you get started. For real capablity for your character you will need to expand and customize them. All henchmen come summoned in Defensive Follow (Bodyguard) mode.
* Attack: This will send all your henchmen to attack your currently selected target, and then attack other targets within their aggro range. ( /petcom_all Attack Aggressive )
* Follow:This will make all your henchmen follow you and attack things that come within their aggro range. This is the default pet (NOT henchmen) behavior for City of Heroes. ( /petcom_all Follow Aggressive )
* Heel:This will make all your henchmen return to you, follow you, and never, ever attack anything until given a new order.
( /petcom_all follow passive )
------------------------------------------------------------
The 7 Colored Macro Command Buttons - How to get them on your tray
------------------------------------------------------------
You can also drag more macro buttons to the Power Tray. These are all editable, so once they are in your Power Tray you can right click them and edit from there. There are 7 different ones, you start with a default of three of them. You can have as many copies of these as you want and make them all do different things. Each copy is individual so even same looking buttons can be edited to do different functions.
Click here for a visual reference.
To do this it is simple:
1) Summon Henchmen
2) On the Pet Window at the top, Click Options and switch to Advanced
3) Make sure you can see the Icons on the right hand side of the menu that denote Mode and Command. If you can not at the top of the menu there is an arrow next to the close menu button. Click it and make it point Left.
4) Issue the Henchmen a Command or a Mode by clicking on one of the Icons. Any Icon will do.
5) Now using the mouse pointer, click and hold the left mouse button on that Icon and drag it to an empty slot on the power tray(s) and drop it in. (If you can not drag it you will need to go to the Menu->Options screen to enable dragging of the pet command icons.)
6) Now, using the right mouse button click the Icon, and a small menu will appear. Click Edit, and you can customize this command button for your own usage.
------------------------------------------------------------
Henchmen Commands - The Advanced Course
------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Mode
Your Henchman interface lets you control two aspects of your Henchmen, their Mode and their Commands. You can set these for each individual Henchman, or type of Henchman (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3), or you can blanket set the same mode and command for all your Henchmen at once.
There are three different Modes:
* Aggressive: Attack anything hostile that comes within detection range.
* Defensive: Attack anything that attacks me or my master.
* Passive: Don't attack anything.
They can also be given different Commands:
* Attack Attacks the thing you currently have targeted. When it is defeated, revert to Follow Me command.
* Goto: Goto a spot designated by the player. Stay there until given a different Command.
* Follow : Follow the player around.
* Stay: Stand still in this area, do not follow. (Stay is basically a "Goto the spot you are currently on")
* Dismiss: Allows the Henchmen a more dignified exit than /release_pets and can be specific about which one(s).
These are used in combination. So "Aggressive Follow" means "Follow me around, attacking anything that we get close enough to". Or "Passive Attack" means "Go attack this specific guy, and when you are done, don't attack anyone else." "Attack" is not "attack everything I tab to". AMT simply sends your Henchmen to attack your currently selected target.
The use of Modes and Commands for Henchmen is used exclusively by Masterminds and only on their Henchmen pets. Other summoned pets can not be controlled, nor will Dominators or City of Heroes Controllers get the ability to command their pets to this level of detail. Those pet powers have been balanced with a certain level of control in mind.
Slash Commands
The commands (which should show up with /cmdlist) are:
/petcom (your currently selected henchman)
/petcom_name (name matching henchmen)
/petcom_pow (power matching henchmen)
/petcom_all (all henchmen)
/petsay (your currently selected henchman)
/petsay_pow (name matching henchmen)
/petsay_name (power matching henchmen)
/petsay_all (all henchmen)
Each of the petcom commands can be followed by one stance and/or one command. That probably sounds complicated so here are some examples:
/petcom passive (tell current pet to be passive)
/petcom_name "zombie 2" dismiss (tell "zombie 2" to leave)
/petcom_pow Protector attack aggressive (tell all pets created by "Protector Bots" to attack your target and be aggressive)
/petcom_all goto defensive (tell all pets to goto a spot and be defensive)
All of the words after the command, the game will search for a best match, so you don't have to type in the full words:
Example:
/bind mbutton petcom_name zom att def
That would bind a command to the middle mouse button to make all pets with name starting with "zom", in this case zombies, attack and be defensive. This feature is useful in commanding multiple henchmen with similar name features as well.
Example:
/Macro Go! Petcom_pow nin goto agg
This will create a macro button called "Go!" that will make all Genin and Jounin goto a spot and be in aggressive mode so they will automatically attack anything near by, but will not change the current orders or mode of the Oni. This is because both Genin and Jounin have the letters nin and not the Oni which only has ni. The reference argument can have as little as one single letter.
If you have a name with a empty space in it use quote marks so that is accepted as one argument.
Example:
/petcom_name Sid the Squid att def
*This is an incorrect statement and will not work*
/petcom_name "Sid the Squid" att def
*This is the correct statement*
Also, you can use multiple petcom commands in a single string. Use the GOTO command last if it occurs with in the string. This is because only one GOTO command can be handled at a time because it require addition player input with the targeting reticle and will interrupt the execution of the rest of the string. Giving multiple commands should not be expected to work at all if they target the same henchman more than once.
Example:
/macro petcom_pow "Protector Bot" Def Follow$$petcom_pow "Assault Bot" stay agg$$petcom_pow "Battle Drone" Goto Agg
*this statement will work because it is targeting three distinctly separate henchmen groups with different orders*
The petsay commands work the same way, but will allow you to have your pet say something. You can also issue emotes for the henchmen to perform by using any emote with <em _____________> .
/petsay_all <em praise>You are the greatest!
*That will make your Henchmen bow and worship you and all say that you are the greatest.*
For a full list of emotes goto these websites:
Official City of Heroes Emote Guide
Mantid's Animated CoH/V Emotes
You can use multiple petsay commands in the same string and in conjunction with a petcom command.
Example:
/macro PULL "local GAMMA! Go draw their fire, we will back you up! $$emote attack$$petcom_name Gamma goto agg$$petsay_name Gamma CHAAARRRGGGEEE!!! $$petsay_name Alpha No Gamma! Don't be a hero! <em no> $$petsay_name Beta I don't think he's coming back after this
<em grief> "
This will create a macro button in your power tray called PULL, which when activate will do the following:
Mastermind: GAMMA! Go draw their fire, we'll back you up!
*The Mastermind thrusts his hand forward signaling to go*
Gamma: CHAAARRRGGGEEE!!!
*The henchman named Gamma races forward to the targeted spot and proceeds to attack anything near by*
Alpha: No Gamma! Don't be a hero!
*The henchman Alpha signals not to do it*
Beta: I dont think he's coming back after this
*The henchman named Beta breaks down and cries at the expected loss of his fellow henchman*
------------------------------------------------------------
Bodyguard Mode for Henchmen
------------------------------------------------------------
When henchmen are in the Defensive Follow mode (the default summoned condition) and are under the influence of Supremacy ( the Mastermind's inherent power), it enables a special function called Bodyguard Mode. All henchmen in Bodyguard Mode (Defensive Follow) work together to help protect the Mastermind from harm. When the Mastermind takes damage, the damage will be split into shares. The Mastermind always takes 2 shares and each henchman that qualifies for Bodyguard duty (in Defensive Follow and under the influence of Supremacy) will also take 1 share of damage. The amount of damage of each share is equal, so the size of the share depends on how many ways the damage is to be split up. The applies to all damage types and even to unresistable damage. Only the Mastermind's defenses and resistances apply to taking the damage. The henchmen get none of their defenses or resistances applied to taking the damage because they are willingly intervening and putting themselves in harms way and taking the damage so that the Mastermind does not. In the case of Area of Effect (AoE) attacks, it is well possible and likely that any bodyguard henchmen could take damage for the Mastermind from the AoE attack AS WELL AS damage from being hit by the AoE attack themselves. Any command or action that changes a henchmen's status of Defensive Follow or takes them out of the Supremacy influence will end their status as a bodyguard until they meet the requirements again.
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre> # of Mastermind's Bodyguard's Equivalent Damage
Bodyguards Damage Share Damage Share Resistance Value For Mastermind Only
0 All None 0 %
1 2/3 1/3 33 %
2 1/2 1/4 50 %
3 2/5 1/5 60 %
4 1/3 1/6 66 %
5 2/7 1/7 71.4 %
6 1/4 1/8 75 %
7 2/9 1/9 77.8 %
</pre><hr />
As you can see here, just having a few henchmen in bodyguard mode can make a significant difference with dimishing benefits for every additional bodyguard added. Splitting the duties of the henchmen between those that are attacking and those assigned as bodyguards is one of the many aspects of playing a Mastermind that you can play with. For most situations, having henchmen assigned as bodyguards will not be necessary, but for the few that do, this can save you. In PvP settings, this will be a life saver as players can choose to neglect the henchmen and directly target the Mastermind.
------------------------------------------------------------
The Basics of How to Write Binds and Macros
------------------------------------------------------------
Also recommended are these resources:
The Incomplete and Unofficial Guide to /bind (1.1)
Appendix - A The City of Heroes/Villians Command list
Definitions:
Bind - A bind is a command string that is bound to a key on the keyboard. Binding a command string to a key will cause it to execute whenever the specified key is utilized. Your regular keys you use to control your character are set up in this way and can be changed as well.
Macro - A macro is a command string that is bound to a "button" on your power tray. The command string bound to the button will execute anytime it is actuated.
For the most part, binds and macros are constructed exactly the same. The only difference is at the beginning where a bind designates a key and a macro designates a label for the button to be made.
Examples:
/bind g petcom goto
/macro Goto petcom goto
These two binds and macros both perform the exact same function except that the bind will link the "g" key on the keyboard so that every time it is pressed, any henchman that is selected will be given a goto command. The macro does the exact same thing except that it creates a button on the power tray that will say "Goto".
Binds can be made for any key. If you want to use a combination of keys like Shift and F1 then use a "+" in-between to combine them like so:
/bind shift+f1 petcom goto
This bind will only work if both shift and F1 are depressed together.
Format is important. Macros can be easily edited later by right-clicking the macro button and selecting edit. Editing binds after they have been written and entered is a much more complicated task and will not be covered here, but binds can be easily rewritten over and erased after they have been made. Let's take an example and break it apart for its formatting. The following example is a rewrite of the f10 button which issues your character's battle cry. The rewrite will add a petcom command to it so that when you issue your battle cry using the f10 key, all your henchmen will attack your selected target.
/bind F10 "petcom_all attack def$$emote attack$$say $battlecry"
/ - The slash tells the chat window that you are issuing commands and not text to transmit. The slash is only required when using the chat window, otherwise it is left out.
bind - The following command string is to be a key bind.
F10 - Is the target key combo that the bind is to be bound to.
" ... " - The quotation marks tell the chat interface that the contents in-between the marks is to be treated as a single block of text. In this case, the entire contents of what is between the quotation marks is to be the bind bound to the F10 key.
petcom_all attack def - One of the petcom commands with 2 arguments that were discussed previously in this guide.
$$ - The double dollar signs indicate another command is to follow in the command string. Please note that no spaces are to be placed on either side of the $$. The only exception is when the $$ follows a string of chat text used in commands like SAY and LOCAL.
emote attack - The command for the Mastermind to execute the Attack emote animation.
$$ - Another command is to follow separator.
say $battlecry - The Mastermind says his battlecry as listed on his ID card in whatever channel the chat box is currently linked too.
If we changed "bind" to "macro" like so:
/macro F10 "petcom_all attack def$$emote attack$$say $battlecry"
It will do the exact same thing, except that instead of binding to a key, it will create a button on the power tray called F10.
------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Henchmen Controls
------------------------------------------------------------
Your starting controls as provided by the game are rudimentary at best. For the most optimal controls you will need to be able to create and edit them yourself to your own preferences. What follow is a suggested configuration that should provide you with better basic henchmen control, especially for those just starting out as well as some more visual cues when issuing orders.
1) Using the section titled "The 7 Colored Macro Command Buttons", drag the Goto and Stay macro buttons to your command tray.
2) Right click the Attack macro button and click Edit. Change to the following: emote attack$$petcom_all attack defensive
3) Right click the Follow macro button and click Edit. Change to the following: emote OverHere$$petcom_all follow defensive
4) Right click the Goto macro button and click Edit. Change to the following: emote point$$petcom_all goto aggressive
5) Right click the Heel macro button and click Edit. Change to the following: petcom_all passive
6) Right click the Stay macro button and click Edit. Change to the following: emote RaiseHand$$petcom_all stay passive
7) In the Chat window enter: /macro DIS "emote GoAway$$petcom_all dismiss"
8) In the Chat window enter: /bind t "target_custom_near enemy alive"
9) In the Chat window enter: /bind g "petcom goto"
Also, for those who like to use their Numpad keys, there is this popular configuration:

MERCENARIES Primary Power Set
------------------------------------------------------------
Despite their reputations, Mercenaries are extremely loyal and dedicated soldiers. They are the best at what they do, and they always follow orders, exactly what a Mastermind needs. Mercenaries typically use conventional weapons and all Mercenaries have body armor that gives them resistance to smashing and lethal damage and their training makes them resistant to Confusion and Placate.

After the Serum wears off, the Mercenary will be exhausted and drained of all Endurance for a while. Recharge: 1 Minute 30 Seconds
26: Commando
Enlists one highly trained Commando. The Commando is a seasoned professional who favors heavy assault weapons. He is simply a one may army that can leave a wake of destruction in his path. In addition to standard Soldier resistance, the Commandos experience also makes him resistant to Fear and his rugged advanced training makes him slightly resistant to Fire, Cold and Toxic Damage. You may only have 1 Commando under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon another Commando, the power will fail. Recharge: 2 Minutes

Undead Henchmen cannot be resurrected.
1: Dark Blast
A long range blast of dark energy. Deals moderate Negative Energy damage and reduces the target's Accuracy. Damage: Moderate, Recharge: 4 Seconds

POWER POOL NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------
There are many considerations about the way Power Pool powers can work with and against a Mastermind and their henchmen and pets.
CONCEALMENT POOL
An important note about stealth and invisibility is that the two are not the same thing. Supremacy will work with Stealth or any power that grants stealth like effects. Supremacy will NOT work with any power that grants YOU the Mastermind Invisibility. The Henchmen must see you for them to get the benefits of Supremacy. Stealth allows this, invisibility does not. However, you do not have to see them, meaning your Henchmen can be invisible all you want. <ul type="square">[*]Stealth: Compatible with Supremacy, Bodyguard, and Leadership.[*]Grant Invisibility: Compatible with Supremacy, Bodyguard, and Leadership. [*]Invisibility: You will be unable to command your henchmen. Will lose the benefits Supremacy as well as Bodyguard and any and all support powers and effects you are or will want to use to support your henchmen and pets as you can only use powers that affect yourself while using it.[*]Phase Shift: You will be unable to command your henchmen. Will lose the benefits Supremacy as well as Bodyguard and any and all support powers and effects you are or will want to use to support your henchmen and pets as you can only use powers that affect yourself while using it.[/list]
FIGHTING POOL <ul type="square">[*]Boxing: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Kick: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Tough: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Weave: No relevant or applicable comments.[/list]
FITNESS POOL <ul type="square">[*]Swift: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Hurdle: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Health: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Stamina: Do you need to take Stamina? May be. Practicing Endurance Management is important, and even Stamina will not help you if you are practicing poor Endurance Management Techniques. By practicing good Endurance Management techniques you may easily find it not necessary to have Stamina, allowing your character to take other powers. One of the key advantages of being a Mastermind is that a large majority of your offensive power is locked up in your Summons (Henchmen, Pets, and Objects) that have their own endurance reserves. That said, at higher levels, doing all the initial summoning and upgrading of your henchmen can be really exhausting and leave you drained. Should not be an issue if you are out of combat as the Rest inherent power is available. Use of Endurance Reduction enhancements in high endurance usage powers, frequently used powers, or continuously used powers like toggles is recommended as a first resort. Also, Blue Inspirations are useful as endurance reserves for Endurance Management, and can be purchased between missions at various locations or obtained as random drops during battles. Use the Rest inherent power between battles should also be a practice. Pacing is also important. Taking on too much, too fast and you will quickly run out, before you can replenish your endurance reserves. However, that said, Stamina can help greatly with Endurance Management, especially if you find your self often in prolonged battles or engagements and/or running excessive and/or expensive toggles, but it is by no means a substitute or replacement for poor technique.[/list]
FLIGHT POOL <ul type="square">[*]Hover: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Air Superiority: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Fly: See Traveling with Henchmen[*]Group Flight: Currently bugged. Henchmen will fly in spurts, lagging behind and then catching up. If you do not periodically stop they will eventually lag far enough behind to the point where they will not be in the Group Flight aura for it to refresh and fall out. Also, Flight Speed enhancements only affect the speed of the user, and not that of the teammates, henchmen, or pets. One method of overcoming this is to target a henchmen and then use the auto-follow button, then use /petcom_all GOTO to move the henchmen. Henchmen can also turn this aura-granted ability on and off at will, players can not. This power affects all in its area of effect. This power is good for navigating terrain obstacles or trying to achieve a tactical advantage. [/list]
LEADERSHIP POOL
The Leadership Pool powers for Maneuvers, Assault, and Tactics are at 60% of Defender's. Vengeance will not work on a fallen henchmen though they can benefit from the buff if Vengeance is used on a fallen teammate. Leadership works a lot like Supremacy so it is a good combo for Masterminds. <ul type="square">[*]Maneuvers: = +2.25% Defense Buff[*]Assault: = +11.25% Damage Buff, and helps resist the effects of Taunt and Placate by shortening the duration of those effects. [*]Tactics: = +7.5% To Hit Buff, +Perception, and helps resist the Confusion and Fear effects by shortening the duration of the effects. [*]Vengeance: Does not work on fallen henchmen. Will work for henchmen when used on a fallen teammate. Bha ha ha ha ha.[/list]
LEAPING POOL <ul type="square">[*]Jump Kick: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Combat Jumping: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Super Jump: Super Jump is not to be confused with Super Leap (the henchmen, pet, and mob power)! Unlike Super Jump, Super Leap only has a small horizontal component, about that of Combat Jumping, and a large vertical component equivalent to Super Jumping. ALSO: See Traveling with Henchmen.[*]Acrobatics: No relevant or applicable comments.[/list]
MEDICINE POOL
The Medicine Pool is definitely a team oriented pool, and having your own personal team as a Mastermind it is useful in a variety of situations. <ul type="square">[*]Aid Other: Very useful for keeping Henchmen and Pets alive and fixing them up during or between battles.[*]Stimulant: Good if your henchmen are falling victim to mezzing effects too often.[*]Aid Self: Heals the Mastermind.[*]Resuscitate: Will not work to revive fallen henchmen.[/list]
PRESENCE POOL <ul type="square">[*]Challenge: They've got you Monologuing again!![*]Provoke: You better have ALL your henchmen set to Bodyguard mode AND in Supremacy range.[*]Intimidate: Cower! I said cower before me! [*]Invoke Panic: All shall cower before me! Bha ha ha ha ha![/list]
SPEED POOL <ul type="square">[*]Flurry: No relevant or applicable comments.[*]Hasten: Mostly only good for your Secondary and Pool Powers. [*]Super Speed: See Traveling with Henchmen.[*]Whirlwind: No relevant or applicable comments.[/list]
TELEPORTATION POOL <ul type="square">[*]Recall Friend: A very useful power for a Mastermind to have to retrieve Henchmen and Pets for a variety of reasons, such as being lost or stuck. Also useful for moving immobile pets into better positions or placing them in front of you or around a corner without exposing yourself. As an odd twist, it is possible that Henchmen and Pets may refuse at times Teleportation from Recall Friend. Telling them to stop (passive/stay) should make them obey, HOWEVER, once teleported they will run back to their previous position if a Goto or Stay command was issued before hand or if they are still under the influence of aggro or a taunt. Issuing another Stay command should, but not always, prevent them from running off after being teleported. [*]Teleport Foe: Useful in some situations but comes with sever limitations and suffers low accuracy.[*]Teleport: See Traveling with Henchmen.[*]Team Teleport: Currently bugged. Henchmen have a tendency to not take the 2-second hover before falling away from the Mastermind. It is ok if you Teleport to solid surfaces but not suitable for long range travel. Is good for short hops to facilitate navigation around obstacles. Has a VERY large area of effect and will gather all henchmen, pets, and players into one area upon arrival. The Prompt for Teleportation option is ignored by Team Teleport and teleports everyone and everything in its AoE regardless.[/list]
------------------------------------------------------------
PATRON POWER POOLS
------------------------------------------------------------
With the one free respec you gain when you complete your Patrons Arc, Patron Power selections will become available at threat levels 41, 44, 47 and 49! Once you have mastered these unspeakable powers, your strength will be rivaled by few among the City of Villains.
You have completed the trial set before you by your Patron. You have survived a battle against Ghost Widow's true enemies, Black Scorpion's own creator, Sirocco's dangerous djinn, or Mako's high-ranking nemesis. You have even come face-to-face with your own fate as you confronted the very heart of Arachnos itself.
You have prevailed and thus earned your reward. Accept your Patron Badge as a sign of honor - Scirocco will bestow the Mirage, Mako Blood In The Water, Ghost Widow the Spiders Kiss, and Black Scorpion The Stinger.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you accept your Patron Badge from your chosen patron, that choice is PERMANENT and can not be changed or Respeced out. You are stuck with that patron for the rest of that characters life and can not choose another patron later. Either choose wisely, go to the Test Server and try them out, or go rogue.
Going Rogue!
You do not have to take a Patron Power Pool, they are entirely optional. If you feel that no particular patron fits or complements your character, find that taking a patron violates your character concept, or just feel that the available power sets lack any real thematic synergy with your character, then it is perfectly acceptable to just forego these pools. Besides that, having a patron is rather anti-thematic to the concept of the Mastermind as Masterminds are patrons themselves! However, with that aside
Ghost Widow - Soul Mastery
Badge: Spiders Kiss
Ghost Widow will teach you how to corrupt and utilize souls of the dead to damage and hinder your enemies.<ul type="square">[*] Night Fall - Unleashes a cone-shaped burst of particles from the Netherworld.

UGH. It was getting very late that evening and I must have copy/pasted the wrong page. Slipped up on that very last part. I'll try and get it fixed.
Wow... just wow. I've been avoiding playing a MM because I felt they really were under-documented, and I'm not much for experimenting in my few hours of play time.
This is exactly what I need. Thank you so much for the effort here. Fantastic job!
Yay, very nice, Red! =^_^=
Must've been tons of work to put it all together! =O_O=

This the type of guide a person like me needs. I am thinking to make a MM next. Good Job. Nice Guide. 
I loved your pull macro! However, when I tried to type it in, I was restricted do to the number of characters there were in the macro... Is there a way to get around this?
Yes there is, and I will have to appologize for this one as it is a rather long example, and a reflection of one I use.

Example:
/macro PULL "local GAMMA! Go draw their fire, we will back you up! $$emote attack$$petcom_name Gamma goto agg$$petsay_name Gamma CHAAARRRGGGEEE!!! $$petsay_name Alpha No Gamma! Don't be a hero! <em no> $$petsay_name Beta I don't think he's coming back after this
<em grief> "

The example given here is overly long to be entered from the command line. The reason for this is that I used full names and commands to make it clear and easy to understand rather than abbreviated, compact and harder to read, and I am afraid this made it a bit overly long. There are several ways this can be made more compact:
Use L for Local, this is the same function in an abbreviated form
Use E for Emote. This only works for the Mastermind's emote, and can not be used for the Henchmen.
Abbreviate Henchmen names to the first 2 letters. Al for Alpha, Be for Beta, and Ga for Gamma.
Further we should be able to abbreviate the Goto Agg command to just Go Ag.
Finally, we can gain additional space by first creating the command button, and then entering in the commands by right-clicking on it and using edit by using just the following
/macro PULL ""
This will save you about 16 addition characters as the quotes, macro name, macro command, and the command slash will not have to be present in the actual macro.
So we can abbreviate the command to this:
Example:
/macro PULL "l GAMMA! Go draw their fire, we'll back you up! $$e attack$$petcom_name Ga go agg$$petsay_name Ga CHAAARRRGGGEEE!!! $$petsay_name Al No Gamma! Don't be a hero! <em no> $$petsay_name Be I don't think he's coming back after this
<em grief> "
Which will fit in the command line. You should be able to just copy that text and then click on the command line and press CTRL-V to paste it in and enter. Provided you have an empty space in your Power Tray, the PULL button should appear.
Or you can do this:
/macro PULL ""
Right-click PULL macro button -> Edit -> enter in the following:
l GAMMA! Go draw their fire, we'll back you up! $$e attack$$petcom_name Ga go agg$$petsay_name Ga CHAAARRRGGGEEE!!! $$petsay_name Al No Gamma! Don't be a hero! <em no> $$petsay_name Be I don't think he's coming back after this
<em grief>
This will work provide you have 3 henchmen with names that uniquely start with or contain Al, Be, and Ga.
