How will inventions effect Mastermind's pets?

Will there be special IO's for Masterminds?
How will the attributes from IO's effect Masterminds and their pets?


Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.

I would imagine that there will be pet sets. We've only seen a fraction of the number of inventions that will be part of the system. So there is still much left to discover.

Octavian beat me to it. Oh and if you check the Mastermind forums Karl_Rove_man has a thread on slotting his mastermind with sets. Very enlightening.

From what I've heard, sets won't be limited by ATs or powers. Is that correct? Because I thought you could just outfit your henchmen with Sting of the Manticore or some other universal set.

I'd be interesting to find out what limitations these sets have.

From what I can see you can drop those pet inventions in Mastermind pets or hero pets. Its just that masterminds get 3 pet powers to slot versus the usual one or two for heroes.

What? No. Each set only works in a specific type of power. Sting of the Manticore, for example, only works in Snipe or Assassin Strike powers (which I believe makes Stalkers the only AT that can slot it TWICE ). Each set is tied to a type of power, simple as that.

My only question is what Sets the Mastermind upgrade powers will accept...

It would be cool if the IO's triggered abilites in the pets, like travel powers, or temporary armaments abilities...

I take the debt protection to mean the MM himself gains these benefits, rather than his pets? Or does the entire gang receive these buffs?

Nobody is sure how the IO Set Bonuses are spread among the MM and the Henchmen, as far as I've heard.

Definitely going to be something I try to test ASAP when it goes up.

Set Bonus buffs only apply to the player that slots the enhancements.

The 3 special enhancements in the Pet Sets that provide unique buffs to pets (resistance, defense, etc.) are functionally identical to Supremacy. Each of these three enhancements grants an auto power to the Mastermind; this is a PBAoE buff that is always active and buffs any henchmen in range.

So slotting the 10% Def and Resist Buff into each henchmen will give 30% Def and Resist Buff to all henchmen?


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

Moonbeam and...I forget the other Snipe, in the PPP. Plus AS. That's two Stings of the Manticore.

actually dude, yes

You cant slot 6 times into the same power.. but if Assassin strike and snipe are two different powers... I dont think the ED of IO's will affect them...

Are we talking about a single power or a power set? Single power, no (not the from the same IO set anyhow); but power set or different IO sets on a single power, yes, of course

Edit: NM, you said the same thing

I hate to disappoint Stalkers out there, but Sting of the Manticore can only be slotted into Sniper powers, not Assassin Strikes. I don't know where that rumor started.

Assassin Strikes can slot in sets that are made for Single Target Melee powers.
