Regeneration debuffs are much more important than pure DPS for the purpose of taking down rikti pylons (and archvillains, for that matter). Luckily for you, you get both DPS and -regen in a Thugs/Thermal MM. You and your tanker buddy should have no trouble taking down pylons, even without leveling any further, as long as you make sure to use Heat Exhaustion (your regen debuff) as soon as it's up.
The Arch/MM could be another decent choice, Drain Psyche has great -regen. Of course, it means you'd have to get close, the uptime isn't as great as HE, and the absolute ST DPS of an arch blaster is probably lower than a Thugs/Therm MM, considering a tank is going to hold all the aggro (allowing maximum efficiency with pets) and that the therm debuffs also buff the tank's damage.
Plus, you enjoy MMs more, so definitely go with Thugs/Therm, in my opinion.
I killed a pylon with my bots/traps easy.

Just a few of my suggestions.
Hey guys, I am new to the forums and really signed up just to ask one question but first lemme give you some background.
My roomate and I are really trying to attempt to take down the ritki plyons with just the two of us. He plans on being the tank to draw as much aggo as possible while of course dealing as much dps as possible.
That being said I have 3 toons that I have been exploring but are a tad under 50 just because I am not sure which would be the best at attempting this.
I currently have a lvl 45 archery,mental blaster, a lvl 48 bots ff MM and a lvl 40 thug thermal radiation MM.
I really wanna use the MM's just because I enjoy them the most but I can seem to either create the best build for such a task and I am battling with the idea that they might not do as much DPS as a blaster would. What are your thoughts?
