Waiting for Demon Summoning

I too have been waiting to see a whip in this game for years, too bad it's only a MM, but hopefully one of these days...

Ugh, if they allowed for full control over minion costumes.. can you imagine the entire crew of Paragon Studios running around as your Thugs?

"UNLEASH.... INTERN WAR! (one of you 10, get me coffee)."

In "another" hero game, someone made Bill Roper their Nemesis. We were amused.

Desdemona is shown about to throw what looks like a fireball that changes color, maybe the whip is part of an attack chain, fireball, whip etc, or you have to keep whipping those demons to keep them in check , p.e.t.a will love that

Also, sorry but; HELL NO! to pets that turn on you. That sounds like the epitomy of 'Not Fun' right there. Especially given MMs are not good combatants solo, having a solo mission go backside up due to your own tier 3 pet tearing a limb off just sounds like fail incarnate.

That said, Im looking foward to them. Hopefully one of my Praet's will get to utilise them.

Why would they only be fire based? I would think a combination of fire and dark. I do like the idea of Sonic - like those little beasties redside whose names I forget at the moment.

MM was the first redside toon I enjoyed playing (thugs/dark) so it will be nice to have an addition to them. Although now that Posi isn't in the final decision chair - I can haz clownzez neow? Demon clownzez even better. Rodeo clownzez would even pass...

I hope the MM's attack from Demon Summoning is Fire Blast and not Whip Attack. If it's Whip Attack, well, then we're going to have the same problem with Thug MMs where MMs take the attacks simply because of the uniqueness of the attack. We'll wind up with tons of Whip Petless MMs.

I don't want to have to choose between a cool Whip Attack or a Pet on a MM; nor have to choose between Whip Attack or a Secondary power.

I hope MM whips have the crazy range that the Balrog whip has in LotR

The whip is going to be fire/toxic damage, according to the Interview with WW on Tentonhammer. Interesting.

I have a question for the complete collection pack and all does it come with all the booster packs as well?

Out of everything (yes, including going to an alternate earth), DS is what I have hungered for (I'm pre-ordering GR just for this set).

I understand the arguments about the perception that it's unfair that it's limited to MM, but with a lot of powerset proliferation MM have really been treated like the 'poor cousins' (usually only 1 set ported where other a/t had 2 or more each time) and haven't had a new powerset since I started playing over 3 years ago (in that time I've seen a few new sets go live for non-MMs, admittedly extended to multiple a/t).

As for the whip, I rarely take the personal attack power on any of my MMs, as they're often very weak (and I prefer to let the henchies do the fighting). I have my two vet attacks, which are often far more useful than the MM personal attack power. I may take it for novelty's sake, but I doubt it at this stage.

Touching on some themes in this thread - I think it's dangerous to speculate on the set based on a signature character's bio. We all know that signature characters powers, while similar in some respects, are not the same as the sets we have available to create characters.

one of the things that i really liked when i seen the NPC was the pet demon she had parasitically attached to her arm. photo here http://picasaweb.google.com/stephen....15249532835938

although i have not seen the tattoo idea im not sure how it could out do the parasitically pet demon. one of the things i hope is that the player gets something like that, why you ask because it would just be cool looking and people be like yep that a demon summoner.

I think you don´t understand. Solo means without pets...and that´s what you´ll have should your pets turn against you.Then you´ll just get flattened...*splat*...Roadkill!
