Bots/Traps Tankermind build advice please!

New build at the bottom

You will miss stamina a great deal, especially running three toggles. And if you lose a pet you have to re-equip ALL of them.

My current build has soloed some of the harder avs, including Minx, Numina and Synapse. Before I respeced I had soloed over 30 avs. My prior build utilized the medicine pool instead of the leadership pool.

I usually take on six man mobs at +1 difficulty with little effort, though longbow can be a pain.

I'm going to chime in and say you do not need stamina, nor will you miss it. My Bots/Traps runs all three leadership toggles without stamina all the time and never has a problem. I needed to skip stamina because I wanted hasten, leadership, teleport, and provoke. That's all four power pools, so no stamina. I'm softcapped to ranged and AoE, taunt like your sixth grade bully, and almost never die. I've fought x8 CoT, Longbow, Carnies, even Knives and Malta without a problem.

Ok, so the longbow can give me a little problem. I just have to start using traps on them.

My Bots/Traps tankermind doesn't miss stamina when doing ordinary content, but when something hard comes along I find myself fighting a constant battle with the blue bar. Dropping traps and replacing bots can become a big drain if you don't slot heavily for endredux.

Ech...why provoke? Why Acrobatics?
You're a Bots/Traps MM. You have FF gen.

I could post just the standard build I'm using atm. I can't quite solo AVs, but me and a friend blew the bolts out of Posi and Valkyrie at +2. Both Bots/Traps.

Also, go for Scorpion shield. Protector bots + FFgen + Scorpion shield = a ludicrous ammount of defence. And thats just vanilla IO'd. If you add in hover and some good slotting, you can really push the defence numbers into the obscene.

Heh, all too technical for me. I'll bow out of this one.
I just, y'know, steamroller stuff the usual way but fair play and good luck with the builds.

OK I changed it. How about this build? About how much would it cost? I have 2 billion to play with I hope to god that would be enough ...

One excellent build for bots/traps was posted by Anshar Seraphim just some weeks ago. There was also video of his MM called Sinthix doin some aoe pewpew .

Here is a link to that thread. I'd take a close look to it. It's one option, tho excellent one. At least I'd pick some slotting from it.

Tho I'm newbie MM I have to say that I'd most deffinately aim for more defence with tankermind build. Especially because it's so easy to get with bots/traps. You can actually softacap bots and yourself if you want. The difference in survivability will be next to insane.
Even if you are not aiming for softcapped build some more defence would make playing a lot more easy.
My almost softcapped MM (bots/dark) has killed now two GM's (one of them twice)and a few AVs. All without insp/temps. She didn't even use Darkest Night during those three GM fights.
I'm sure this build is fun to play and if that's what you are looking for go for it. But if one is talking about minmaxing or survivability there are quite a many things that could/should be done a bit different way. IMHO.

Actually upon further review of my build I'd move stamina up a bit and take it by level 30, that way you can solo more of the earlier avs. I respeced last night and soloed BaB in a flashback mission.

Here is what I hope to be my final build, barring any purple sets I pick up:

Urg, thank goodness you included the data link. That colour scheme is all but unreadable on the villain forum skin.

One thing I noticed: Seeker Drones don't need accuracy. Mids isn't displaying the accuracy of the "Flash" power they use, which is a very high 1.4 (iirc).

Also, take the -recharge proc out of Caltrops, and move that slot to the ProBots. Redo the ProtBot slotting to look like this:

Blood Mandate Acc/Dam, Acc/End/Dam; Brilliant Leadership Acc/Dam, Acc/End/Dam; and two vanilla Defence IOs. That gets you better accuracy, less wasted damage, some Endredux for re-summoning, and much better defences for you and your bots.


Actually, you've got lots of ED capped slotting. Have a look at my build and maybe incorporate the bot slotting into your build.

Okay, so I frankenslotted Blood Mandate and Sovereign Right's Acc/DMG and busted the ED cap which is great, but what really made a huge difference was slotting two Defense IOs into Protector Bots. I didn't change my number of slots so in theory I'm losing 40% of their damage, but quite frankly they don't attack that much anyway so I don't think I'm losing much dps.

Whatever I'm losing in dps I'm making up for in survivability. Cleared a team size six map of COT set at level 52 without any issues, so I'll have to see how I do against an av. So far so good.

I got this build from the guy who did the bots/traps video mentioned earlier, and tweaked it a bit to my liking. I've got great recharge for double stacked acid mortar for 25 seconds with a possible 60% defense and 60% resistance debuff. Thats pretty freaking huge. 8 second trip mines means you can lay down a 12-15 mine field with two acid mortars and two poison traps in about 90 seconds.

Destroying an AV is about as simple as web-nading them in place, parking the bots in defensive stay outside of PBAoE range, and using provoke to keep everything in the vacinity focused on you while you do your debuff routine. Choosing to tank yourself or let your ***-bot do it for you is a simple choice between provoke and stealth or aid other. And if you wanted to take stealth or aid other and add a slot or two to it, you can drop a proc out of acid mortar.
