I like the powers that you took, especially waiting just a bit for stamina. Your endurance shouldn't crash since you put off snowstorm. This is also what I would refer to as a 'growing' build. When you get to level 28, you would be advised to grow up your build, put on your big boy pants, and either respec or use a 2nd build to switch out Dual Wield, move up Snow Storm to level 4, and bring tactics to a nifty slot at level 30.
I am not saying you have to plug along without mastermind attacks especially in the low levels. My Thug mastermind also took dual wield. Tactics will bring a significant thing to your team in addition to the increased accuracy for your minions. Tactics has plus perception for dealing with Arachnos Night Widows, and that ain't shabby.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
If you want to keep dual wield you can skip lightning storm.
Thanks for the advice, dual wield doesn't matter to me that much once pets get a little better. What about enhancements and slotting this is where I am still lost. Only took me 2 weeks to come up with the build from reading the forums hehe..
Slotting and enchantments seems a little more complex, also I dont see alot of crafted ones in the black market that are the high dollar ones anyway.

I wouldn't recommend that. Even post recharge nerf, that's another source of damage, plays well in a team, and is a source of depositable knockback to keep enemies (especially bosses) pinned where you want them.

Questions about Fire/Rad? Just ask!
Ok still a little new but getting there with all the help I have got from the forums so far so thank you for that. Now my Mastermind build. You will notice it is not slotted only because I am still not sure on how to slot as I go.
I tend to solo or be in small groups atm most of the time due to limited time to play but what I am looking for is something that can survive for the long haul. Not worried about the cost of enhancements so slotting with the best is fine by me.
