I can't believe we forgot the patch note about Pets zoning with their owners in I16.

it might make it so I update the IO in my MM and be willing to play him once again. Then again Cap is going to die at the BM when everyone brings there pets shopping.

If this turns out to be a practical joke, I'm sorry, but someone must pay with their privates.

So does this apply just to masterminds or does it also apply to all pet carriers? :3

It's going to be a pain in the *** when I zone in the mission with my henchmen pushing me out of the way at the door.


In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.

...and push you into aggro range at a spawn near the door; but at least you will be ready to fight.

They don't push you; you push them.

Which, if you push them into Perception range, is just as bad... but if something can see you at the door anyway, well, better to have them then try to spawn and train them up, yes?

It's just too bad that I don't see "Customizable Henchmens" on the I16 teasers....

I just rolled my first ever mastermind. Is necro/pd any good?

Dunno about Necro/Pain, Crackback, but Thugs/PD is awfully sweet.

I initially skipped Anguishing Cry for the really awful Empty Clips, and now that I know what Anguishing Cry does...

The attack combo of Gang War/Nullify Pain/Vengeance/Conduit of Pain/Anguishing Cry/World of Pain is just funny-- up to ten Vengeanced, minion-level thugs chipping away at something big while you blanket heal 'em (and the rest of the team).

That's actually coming.

Don't know if I mentioned that, but it was discussed at Comic Con.

But, word. Not i16 material.

As Hospy said, it isn't as good as say, Robots or Thugs Primary.

However, Pain Domination definitely does the job.

what has good synergy with necro? i'm kinda digging negro more than any other primary that i've seen thus far mainly cuz I rarely see them. erbody is bots and thugs.

The two most effective PvP MM's I've encountered have been a Robots/FF and a Necro/Dark... and those concepts work together really, well, too, which makes me think the synergy was intended by the Devs.

I have a Ninja/Dark that's really fun, but not as effective; the Dark doesn't really have Synergy with the Ninja abilities beyond giving them a level of pre-attack stealth. If I had known Ninja/Storm would be available (aka Tsoo Sorcerors), I probably would have waited.

Ninjas just seem like whack and i'm already playing a dark defender. that'd be overkill. wut about necro/psn? or necro/strm?

Personally, I've never played those two-- anyone?

I did see something original the other night while teaming with a friends thugs/Pain Dom MM..He died and his pets kept fighting until we cleared the mob. Now this was in an AE mish, but does anyone know if it is true in a normal mish as well?

Only Gang War thugs stay after the player dies, because they're summoned pets, not controlled pets.
