I'm hoping for a mix, but I'm sure fire will be a common theme.

Fire/Lethal
Fire/Negative
Fire/Smashing/Psi/Cold

Would be a nice combo for the three tiers. Kinda like Bots do a lot of Energy/Smashing now.

I am expecting ice,fire,dark and leathal for attacks wish I knew what kind of demons we are dealing with, that would help alot...

just put /FF on em....it is guaranteed to work.

Thermal makes sense but I think I'll wait to see what other powersets they intend to include with I16

 

Posted

Demon/Thermal and Demon/Dark

 

Posted

so we are getting a whip power in demon set, nice!

 

Posted

Demon/Thermal, unless I don't like Demon Summoning, then I'll go Thugs/Thermal.

I keep making MM's, but deleting them going "I want Thermal for Secondary"

Now getting it. But now need to wait to see if I go Demon/ over Thugs/ :/

TRRRROOOGGDDOORRRRR!!!!

I'm expecting it to be a fire-based set, especially since the info popped that we'll be getting /thermal. It makes for a very easy thematic pairing.

Perhaps negative energy in there too. Anyone else thinking Balrog?

EDIT: Fix'd spelling. Thanks Jay.

Balrog.

And I've heard rumours the set is mostly melee oriented.

I'd be ok with melee. I just hope it's not the CoT demons...

What do you guys think the level 18 power is going to do?

The coolest thing I can think of is a temporary (but immensely powerful) pet that either turns on you at the end of its "life span" or has a chance to be hostile to you when summoned. Demon summoning needs to have that dangerous aspect to it.

Assuming Demon Summoning will follow the traditional pattern set by Masterminds, and Fire will be the thematic blasts, I just have to put this together to help satiate my burning curiosity (I imagine Demons will be Circle of Thorns typed)


Flares
Summon Tier One Demon
Fire Blast
Enchant Demon
(Fire Ball, but more probably Fire Breath or Combustion)
Summon Tier Two Demon
(A Heal, or Buff, or Exotic Summons like fire imps? toad things?)
Summon Tier Three Demon
Major Demon Upgrade

Hmmm. Nope, doesn't really help curb my excitement at all. Ahhhrgh!

American Dawg, Starblaze, Neanderthal Joe, Shining Dawn, Tokamak Dragon, Stinger Incarnate, Burning Tyger, Dover Tornado, Big Roach, Dark Paladin, Archmage Wylde, Kings Row Hornet, Prancing Deer
Avogadro, Science Lord
Edgar Nightcraft, Doc Cicada, Chupa Macabre, Dr Forchtenstein, Blood Shrew

uhh. Necro/Thermal. Flaming zombies ftw.

Wassabi Grav/Kin 50 (before badges/accolades were in game) Pinnacle
Miss Command Bots/Traps 50 Justice

*others left off due to space issues

Demon/storm

storm will be customized to red, make the scenery look more..."hellish"

The demons could have several damage types assuming they're modelled after existing ones.

Hordling: lethal bite, smashing tongue lash
Hordling Bezerkers & Hurlers: frost melee & ranged

Wailers: ranged smash/energy, melee lethal

Behemoths: fire melee & ranged
Behemoth Overlords: fire melee & ranged

Hellfrost: frost melee & ranged

Spectral Daemon: dark melee & ranged
Spectral Daemon Lord: dark melee & ranged

Nerva Spectral Daemon: frost melee & ranged
Nerva Spectral Daemon Lord: frost melee & ranged

Succubus: confuse, hold, negative energy melee & ranged

I think succubus would make an awesome boss pet. Confuse? Yes, please!

My best guess is we'll likely see hordling minions, behemoth Lt's, and a succubus boss. What I'd rather have is behemoth minions, hellfrost Lt's and a succubus boss.

Behemoth Overlords would be cool but they're so dang big. If they could make them man-sized, then behemoth minions, behemoth overlord Lt's, and a succubus boss would be nice.

Although wailers would be useful, I'm not a big fan of them because they're rather goofy looking. I'm not sure if "daemons" are actually true "demons", they're likely just really mean ghosts.

They'll probably come up with unique demons for the set.

I hope so, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't...

My Demon MM will most likely be /Thermal. Name is in reserve, and costume ideas already being toyed with. Can't wait!

Demon Summoning will definitely be Mastermind unique demons and exist apart from anything else in the game. Just look at the distinction in other MM Primaries. Take Necromancy for example, while zombies exist in different flavors across the game (Banished, Halloween event, Apocalypse Event) the Necro zombies look and perform in a way that's unique to MM's.

How about a customizable Hellfire Whip?

[/ QUOTE ]

The only bummer about this is that MM's still suffer from such a low base damage modifier for their own personal attacks that the Whip would go along the ways of Thugs Dual Pistols (anyone else remember the deluge of all of those petless "concept" Thugs MM's? Ugh). Flashy and aesthetically pleasing but with little to no use.

If the whip was given some significant control utility it would likely be more useful and not just eye candy.

Demon/Dark, fire and dark always go good togetherz.

(Assuming that the demons will have some fire powerz)

I'll have to reserve final judgment for when I actually see what the set is like, of course, but I'm thinking I'll either go Fire, or Dark. Just can't go wrong, and it's thematic.
