So my brother talked me into making an MM with him and some of our friends and OMG is it a blast. There's 5 of us and we have one of each MM primary (I'm playing a Thugs/TA), and it's just so crazy on missions because all of us together are like a small army. I remember one mission we were doing last night in a cave and in one tunnel I just couldn't move because of how many mobs and minions were packed together xD
I'm only like lvl 9 (I think the highest lvl in our little squad is like 15-20 or something) but it's already a lot of fun and I can't wait till I get my higher lvl minions. My friends keep telling me I'm gonna love one of my guys because he throws grenades and cocktails and sets things on fire (I do like setting things on fire...). Eventually we're going to try our hand at running a few SFs with just the 5 of us. One of my friends is like, "Man once we get higher lvl we're just going to be able to power through anything". I can't wait...
I think the reason I'm having so much fun is because this is my first MM ever, and I gotta be honest I was (and still am) a bit overwhelmed at how much deeper and "micro-mangagey" playing an MM can be, but at least they managed to present it in a fun way and not in a tedious way like they do with pet classes in some other MMOs (IMO at least). I did go ahead and set up binds using the numpad so that has made managing my pets a thousand times easier.
Anyway, I was also wondering if you guys would take a look at my build. It's more of a "semi-final" build, no purple sets or anything but a few are quite expensive. I designed this build around slotting recommendations I found in a few of the guides. I kinda had to what with my very very limited expertise with the MM AT.
