Skipping leadership

Was going to make a new thread for this question but I may as well post it here as its abaout leadership.
Heres the scenerio

My MM Punkette is a Thug/Dark, I duo with another Thug/Poison all time.

I basicaly have 2 power choices that I havnt made yet. I have everything I want from my primary and the secodarys so the two choice will come from the power pools.

I already have aid other and aid self and also have air supe and fly.

So all i can see of being any use is Assault, what is the acutal figurs on assualt and wouyld it be wroth while in view that it would benift two MM all of the time.

Or can anyone suggets an alternative power choice which they have found helpfull to a MM from the Power Pools.

1) Do you have stamina?
2) Which /dark powers do you have?

I have everything from dark bar Howling Twighlight and Black Hole.

I know Howling can be used as a debuff as well as a rez but I dont want it.

I dont have stamina and tbh i dont need it im coping more than fine without it.

If i went for leadership I would only pick assualt and slot it with End Reducers. Just wonder what the actualy buff figure is or if thers anything else worth having from teh pools.

For MM's it's a 11.25% damage buff (applied to base damage,not enhanced damage).

Assualt for a MM should be 12.5% same as controller ... but yes here comes a big BUTT last time pre I7 , that i tested it was a nifty 10% base ... yes BASE not total .
(could be that my only pulse rifle attack was bugged since it still does full negative , but let say wasn´t too impressed with assualt )

Now as for I7 assualt i taken on my tanker it seems nowadays its 10% times total damage .
Haven´t check my MM for a while cause simply was bored of it . so IF its 12.5% or 15% total damage bonus its quite awesome even if the END cost is double nowadays.

Now as for additional powerpool if you have space , you can never go wrong with dark , is hasten .
Another trick for MM is recall friends , especially handy once you get your dark servant to get into closecombat and healing radius , why cause the dark servant aura of damage and debuff is quite awesome.

Still why you wouldn´t take howling twilight is beyond me , but its people own personal choice. so wont ask you to reconsider.

Damage buffs are always calculated from Base damage.

Think I will give it a miss then sound like it not realy worth the end usages espicaly since im stamina less.

I forgot to say hasten is already part of the plan so I still have two powers to think aboy.

well I don't think I'll be taking leadership again, especially since I'm now maknig a thug mastermind.

Well leaves recall friend as explained, TP Foe (for those sneaky pulls and ambush situations)

Other is Aid other/Stimulant + Heal Self (all of them quite good can be made instant with interruption reduction enhancements) heal numbers aren´t shabby either.

Well since i know you and your partner DUO dont underestimate two assualt (thats a single Damage SO) two tactics (thats more then 1 ACC SO) just that the endurance price went up and am not all to pleased about that either.

And no it seems assault is back again to TOTAL damage instead of Base in I7 , what that means is enhancement enhances your base value , while assualt enhances your total value (base+ enhancement)

So 100 damage 10% base gives 5 extra damage , while 100 damage 10% total gives 10 damage .
(easy calulation with 100% SO damage enhancement )

I'm not saying leadership toggles are essential but neither are they useless...

I agree.
My necro/dark MM has all leadership but vengance, fitness, all dark but P.G and black hole. I have 5 toggles on most of the time and with 1 end reduc on each i'm never low on end, even when im debuffing all the time. Im not taking any PPP's as I dont find them thrilling so I have the space to take leadership.

I doubt id ever respec out leadership as when teaming its very usefull as buffs are always welcome.
It's more if you want leadership, not if its usefull or not!

yeah, I'm not bothered about whether it's worth the endurance or not. It's just that I always try to fit fitness into my toons. And I try to debate if it's worth skipping out other powers you could've got in place of leadership.

My greediness is for Tactics when playing a MM... Even 3 slotting SO accuracy on level 1 minions, they will end up fighting +4 or +5 enemies... that extra boost from tactics seems to help, unless you can defence debuff somehow.

my protector bots give good defence and healing.
I am awesome
my acid mortar debuffs are valuable.
BG mode helps to even the odds by helping me tank.
I am awesome
FF generator gives my bots a def buff.
Caltrops slows down my enemies.
I am awesome
Triage Beacon for healing goodness.
Getting poison trap to debuff aswell.
And finally, I am awesome!!!

MaXimillion: ...two thug MM's get capped defence for all their henches...

Enforcer's leadership range is relatively short, but still, aint it great? With /FF Pistol's gang tanks.. honest.
