What kind of DS are you rolling?

I'm thinking of going with DS/psn or DS/pain; both secondaries are going to stack REALLY well with DS.

I will probably go thermal, for thematic reasons. Also I already have /poi, /traps, /dark and /storm and i would like to try something new if its convenient. I will start thermal right away, but if it doesn't feel right i think /dark would be good as well.

Either /dark or /pain; leaning heavily towards pain atm, but we'll see once I know what the demons' power sets are in more detail.

Im thinking dark,but that may change.

Storm for certain (properly recolored for a more hellish look naturally); I'm going to make at least one more but am not sure what.

I was going to go /dark but I took my 50 thug/dark out for a spin the other day and I hated it. /Pain has spoiled me all I want to do now is stand around healing, debuffing is too busy for me now and I hate having to chase after my pets to heal them. So I guess it'll be ds/pain for me.

Probably /Traps. It's being hyped as a more melee-oriented set, perfect for running in with Gas trap and perma-acid mortar.

Gonna make a /pain here, to me DS looks like a "melee MM" with the whip and the resistance debuffs so /pain's PBAoE debuff would work great here. I've already put together a rough build using thugs as a template (assuming hell on earth is a gang war clone) and it looks brutal. Been practicing the tankermind concept on my 28 thug/thermal and if it is any indicator of what /pain will be like this could be the easiest run to 50 I've ever done.

The only questions I have now are what are the pet's final stats and abilities, what -exactly- does hell on earth do outside of summoning a bunch of mobs, and how will I be able to make my toon stand apart from all the female dominatrix and male Infernal clones running around lol.

Overall I'm excited though.

EDIT: Nm, after playing DS/pain on OB I'm going with poison now... this is gonna be a brutal mastermind.

I'll probably make two. Right away I may make a Gameboy/Thermal. Then when Going Rogue finally goes live I'm rerolling Leath (my dark/rad defender) as a Gameboy/Dark mastermind (praetorian of course).

Har.
Good one.

I'm new to Masterminds. Was going to roll DS/Dark, but with everyone loving them some /Pain, I'm thinking about switching. It is that much better than Dark in late game?

DS/Pain more than likely. DS/Poison is the runner up

DS/Dark.

It just works for the whole "bring nightmares to life" concept I have.

My first one will be /dark, then /storm, then /traps, ...

Poison; it's the only secondary I haven't used yet with another character.

Do the pets have any kind of healing for themselves (IE: like protector bots)? I am guessing we don't know for sure or if it will be any good

I was initially going with Storm, but I realize I have done Storm to death on other toons, and a group heal would be very nice if this is indeed a melee-oriented set with no or limited abilty to heal themselves or eachother. I have only done one Empathy character, and have never done Thermal or Pain, so I am thinking most likely Thermal or Pain unless the pets turn out to be very resilent on their own

I will probably go either /storm or /pain have not made up my mind.
