Edit, posted wrong build. Replace Maneuvers with 3slotted Aid Self (3 Heal/Rech IO's) and took TP Foe in the 49th slot.

I actually just finished my Bots/Traps MM a bit ago. Took about 7 Billion Inf. I posted a video of him in action along with my build here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=191965

I see a LOT of inefficient slotting in your build.

If you want, I can go point to point or you can check out my build in the linked thread, up to you.

Let me know if you want to use a variant of my build or you would like me to pour over yours instead. I don't mind at all. I'll check back to see which you've chosen.

Thanks a lot Anshar. I'll use your build as the template for mine. I assume in the end game you fine without the Medicine Pool?

I'll put it this way. If I let my protectors buff me with a shield and then unsummon them, I can kill an 8 player spawn of +2s all by myself with no pets except a force field generator. I usually have full life when the spawn is dead. Triage beacon keeps me alive, even in pvp.

As for healing the bots, occasionally I drop a green inspiration on one that's been stupid and wandered out of the force field, but more often than not before the inspiration activates my protectors have already healed the bot to full.

If I get 3 spawns instead of just one, like I'm planning on (from adds or somesuch) I drop a triage beacon and keep extra aggro on me by dropping caltrops and spamming electric fences. If the bots stay in range of the generator, nine times out of ten I'll still have every pet alive and well when the dust settles.

If you'd like to come to Infinity and make a lowbie I'd be happy to show you them in action.
