Demons most Common Secondary?

When Thermal became a secondary, I started seeing bots/therms all over the place. What do you think we'll see the most of with Demons?

Will it be:

Demons/Pain - for the dominatrix effect?
Demons/Thermal - For thematics?
Demons/TA - Just cause?
Demons/Traps - For the Force Field to protect the MM during melee?

I'm debating the virtues of a demon/poison. I think it depends on whether the tier 3 pet engages in melee or not.

Dark Miasma would be another one. Fits the Demon Primary like a Glove.

Probably Dark, if for no other reason than it's so good and works with anything. "When in doubt, go for Dark Miasma" might as well be a motto for power choices.

I'm thinking I want to make one that is /pain, but I don't want to be doing the same thing as everyone else. There are just certain combinations that get done, and done, and ... redone...... I know that none of the combinations are unique by any means, but sometimes a combination just seems to eclipse all the others for common-ness.

Demons/FF would probably not be any fun (because I'm betting the demons don't have any defense to stack it with)

Demons/Storm might be interesting, because you have Hurricane in that set to massively debuff enemies' attack bonus at melee range (and the whips are basically melee range attacks), but it seems like a waste to have so many pets that need re-summoning. (Tornado, Lightning Storm, then Hell on Earth) ...... or..... actually that might be the strongest combination come to think of it............

I'm actually planning on TA, just because that's what my character has right now. That may change when it comes out, but there's only one way to find out.

If nothing else, I'll roll it with Traps. Can't go wrong with that.

Roll a Dominator so.*


My plan is to roll a Widow -> Fort when the level requirements get a drop. Seems like a good complimentary set to go with demons (or I might just stick with my Ice/Psi Dom). Worked really well for me when Dual Pistols came out.

Storm is always interesting. Poison might be a good, slightly less used combo as well.

^ this

If the T3 pet is a melee-oriented one I'm probably gonna make a demon/poison and see how that works out.

Throwing my vote for demon/poison too, hoping it will not be as common, but also /poison is one set I have never tried and want a new/new experience.

Was trying to avoid /dark since I feel it will be very common. And already have /storm and /PD MM's.


 

Posted

I'm thinkin thermal...demons + fire....


 

Posted

Either PD, Storm, or Poison. I'm not sure yet.

I'll probably end up going with PD or Storm.


 

Posted

I'm going with either a demon/storm or demon/poison. Storm if the third tier pet doesnt go melee, poison if it does.


/gignore @username is the best feature of this game. It's also probably the least used feature.

I would imagine that /dark and /thermal will be fairly common. Going with the former myself; have a Dark Lord concept brewing in my mind.


 

Posted

PAAAAIIIIINNNN!

*ahem*

i've yet to roll PD, so i'm greatly looking forward to this character.

as i expect it to turn out:

Dark, Therm
Pain, Storm
FF
Traps, TA


 

Posted

Dark or therm


 

Posted

If the T3 is melee I will probably give Poison a try, otherwise it will either be Thermal or Dark.


 

Posted

As with all the other MM sets, Dark will be the most popular.


 

Posted

ill be going /thermal..yeah i know itll be common..but im still gonna do it :P

Why does it matter if the T3 Pet is Melee or not if your Poison? I'm new to MMs ha.
But i'll be trying either Demon/Poison or Demon/Pain

Noxious gas, it's a pbaoe debuff centered on a pet.

I'll be rolling two: a Demon/Thermal MM that will remain a Villain, and when GR releases I'll start a Demon/Dark MM in Praetoria with the goal of making him a Hero.

Poison's most powerful ability is most useful for tier3 pets that are in the middle of the spawn.

t9 from poison works better on melee pets.

I think you'll be happy either way. ;-)

The reason why poison would rock with a melee T3 pet is because the Noxious Gas power has a stronger effect when used on your T3 pet rather than another pet, but it's effects only reach enemies that are within melee range of the pet you use it on. So, if the T3 pet is melee based, then you'll get a lot of mileage out of that power.
