I like how you plotted it out, I've always wanted a demon MM, but I think this power set is a bit too powerful, maybe later on you could make a MM secondary?
In what ways is it too powerful? Honest question there - I'm rubbish at noticing overpowered things :P Critiqueing is not my forté.
No-one interested?
I quite like your concept 
. However, as pointed out it's abit overpowered.
(Almost) all your demons get powerful ranged attacks AND melee attacks. Some current sets have that to but usually, the the set has a preference (melee for ninja's and necro and ranged for bots and the mercs). You igve them both (both shadow maul and moonbeam on your tier 1 henchmen???).
Also, they do mostly fire and negative energy damage. These are hardly resisted in PvE. Even bots, arguably the strongest pets in CoV don't get this much difersity in damage types(their main power is energy damage, fire is just alittle extra for them).
Overal tho, it looks great fun to play. tone it down alittle and we would have a real winner in here 
.
I like the concept and figure from the fire powers available it would be a good set to mold to the same style as thugs i.e. initially ranged henchmen with flares etc. a thermal type support for the second tier and the final big pet is the melee character who is basically a fire/fire tnaker with certian powers omitted for balance.
Ok, thanks. I'll update it with a bit less power to the henchmen :P

My only thing now is that the third upgrade seems a bit weak for the demons, with only death shroud being added.
My take on it:
all henchmen are (Res lethal/smashing/fire/cold) inherent
<ul type="square">
[*] Flares
[*] Tier 1 Demons
Flares, Brawl
E: Fire Blast
U: Breath of Fire
[*] Fire Blast
[*] First Upgrade
[*] Breath of Fire
[*] Tier 2 Demons
Flares, Fire Shield, Brawl
E: Fire Ball, Cauterize
U: Flashfire, Tenebrous Tentacles
[*] Forge
[*] Tier 3 Pet
+Res (Lethal, Smashing, Fire, Cold, Confuse, Fear, Placate), Fury
Scorch. Fire Sword
E: Creamte, Breath of Fire
U: Firesword Circle, Greater Firesword, Incinerate
[*] Second Upgrade
[/list]
I basically looked at the other henchmen sets, 3rd tier pet is fire version of thugs bruiser 2nd tier are very similar to protector bots, and tried to choose equivalent fire powers that would obviously fit into the MM as toned down versions of powers from other sets.
I like this but suggest on the personal attack front switching firebreath to fireball.
Also maybe change the 3rd tier pet to be less brute like and more tank like so instead of fury up their res a bit and stick in an invicible type power that boosts their def and acc for foes around them but remove the taunt affect from it. Also add hold res to the 3rd teir pet.
Nooo! I've been threadjacked! (I think?)
how about having only 1 type of attacks just shadow blasts and not fire and shadow blasts put together, makes it too confusing.
Do you mean for the MM, or for the pets?
I like the fire and shadow attacks idea.
You have to name em though Firestorm. No point making the set if you don't get to name the little blighters.
And if you've ideas for the other powers in the set (like the level 18 for example) throw them out too. I suspect Fire blasts will be the way to go with the MMs own attacks, again to seperate from Necros.
Um.....I've done all of that. See the first post. The other demon idea was a threadjack :P
EDIT: Actually, see the third or fourth, that's the revised version.
I want one
Globel:Ronin
The Horde
nly the strong survive.

Whoops. Soz.
You've got 3 empower henchie type powers though. And the level 32 is different to how all the other MMs work. Personally I'd make it the same and add something unique as the 18 power rather than yet another henchie buff you only cast when you summon them.
How does it differ? The 18 is just a buff - like serum, bit weaker, PBAoE and no crash.
Some thoughts I have on it are:
1. Too complex - way to much variety in pet powers
2. Lvl 18 power is odd
3. Nice concept
The changes I would make are pretty straight forward:
1) 3rd Attack power: Change to teneborous tentacles
2) Simplify pets: For Spirits make them all fire spirits except for the storm deamon also change some of the powers. So for 1st teir it would be something like this:
Spirits:
Standard; Firey blast, flameing puch(basically a melee attack that deals similar scale fire damage to flares)
Empower; Firebreath
Deamonic; Fireball
For the storm spirit:
Standard; Gale, Charged bolts
Empower; O2 boost (pets only), lightning bolt
Deamonic; Thunder clap
For Furies make them just Dark pets looking something like:
Standard; Dark blast, Shadow punch
Empower; Tenebourus Tentacles, Gloom
Deamonic; Night Fall, Life Drain
For Infernal I would go for a scrapper type Idea so something like:
Standard: Death shroud, Fire sword
Empower; Cremate, Siphon Life
Deamonic; Fire sword circle, Breath of fire
Last change would be to alter the lvl 18 power. If you want it to be like a low power form of serum with no crash then remove the area of effect so it only affects one pet at a time. To be more unique I would actually change it to a reduced build up type power something like:
10 sec duration, 50% Dam boost, 25% Acc boost, 90sec recharge, click target.
This would give a nice boost in damage output for a selected pet for a short time.
Anyway those are just my thoughts on it at the moment may think of others.
Wouldn't TT be a bit overpowered for it? Oh, and the L18 power is a minimal buff - sort of like assault. I'm reluctant to change the powers sadly, though I'm reviewing them. The third tier I envisioned more of as a tanker......oh, and what are these furies?
Sorry furies should be envoys.
The problem with the way you have split the powers up is to do with the AI. Currently most henchmen summoned from the same power have the same powers so less AI coding required. With the way you have done it there is a lot of AI coding going on to identify individual henchmen and give them the ability to use their powers.
If you are going with the tank idea for the last pet then maybe do it as a firey aura/dark melee power split with a prefernce on the Aura side not the melee side.
Mercs do that though, and thugs, don't they? Albeit only 1 pet compared to 2, but.......oh, and I've put mutants up too :P AND I'm working on carnies
bumpity
I tried to get some succubi in, but couldn't, sadly. What do you all think?
