Bots: 2nd Tier pets.

Hello, I'm currently leveling a Bots/Traps mastermind, and loving him so far, but I have one question. Why is it that only one of my 2nd tier pets are bubbling me, while the other doesn't? They double bubble the 1st tier and the 3 tier pets; even my force field generator, but not me. =(

That's what you get for buying shoddy robot parts off the Black Market

"That's nothing! Those crummy FFGs I buy from Wam-Mart keep blowing up on me all the freakin' time! I pull one out of the box and it seems that just few minutes later - BLAM!"

"That's the way it is" is actually a good summation. I dunno why, but MMs seem to be the most WTH-little-quirks-plagued AT, such as the Mercs' Medic who always runs into melee combat and dies before he can, you know, heal people.

The good news is MMs are such awesome ATs no one really cares.

Probably an artifact of making sure they don't waste the time double-bubbling the whole team.

Plus, the other bots need it more than you do.

Exactly. I mean, the bots are dumb enough to run off on their own and start meleeing mobs for no good reason. You are smart enough not to do that.

He doesn't bubble you because he's a bigot.

There, I said it.

Serious answer: If you got bubbles from both your Bots, no MMs would ever play anything but Bots. No other MM Primary gets any buffs from his henchmen at all. (The Mercs Medic may possibly heal you, but I don't think he actually does)

Even with only one shield, Bots MMs still make the best psuedo-tanks. The devs tested it, and it just made Bots MMs too powerful, especially compared to other MMs.

That's crazy talk, Masterminds get Brawl for a reason you know.

And then there's Punch, Kick, Air Superiority, Jump Kick, and Flurry. And with vet rewards comes Sands of Mu/Ghost Slaying Axe. We've got so many options!!

Well, then, maybe it is that you smell. Or maybe your henchmen are afraid to get within arm's reach because you're always slapping them into submission...
