Question about Demon/Trick Arrow

My wife made a Demon/Dark and I was looking to not make a /Thermal or /Pain and was thinking is this combo would be any good for PvE?

I was thinking specifically for Oil Slick since it ignites with fire and glue Arrow will stick them there.

I also see a few Arrows that do -res that would stack with Demon attacks too.

/thoughts?

You can't really go wrong with any combo as a Mastermind. I don't have access to Demon Summoning, but Trick Arrow is a great, control-ish set. From what I understand, DS is at the top end of the Mastermind power spectrum, and the henchmen are sturdy enough and heal enough to cover your lack of a heal. They do use their narrow fire cone quite frequently, but you could still go with a magic, mutation or technology origin to be sure of ignition.

I think Trick Arrow works well on a Robots MM I have. It started slowy. Single target flash, web arrow are less than inspiring but useful. Glue arrow is where its at. Disruption, Oil Slick, and EM Pulse arrow are the heavy hitters.

Also note, for oil slick, the whip commands in the Demon Summoning set have fire components. Another good reason to take such a power in the early lean levels.

Try it, you'll like it. Assuming you don't get off on constantly buffing/healing everything in sight and rarely attacking.
Personally, I can't wait to combine flash/glue/oil/WHIP WHIP WHIP while my scrubs rampage in and rip things apart.

Just take a whip attack, they lit oil slick

Note* I really want to use Oil Slick with the fire attacks since I believe this is key for my playstyle (moar damage!) however using EMP Arrow and Glue Arrow when Oil Slick is recharging.

So far the defense I have:

Ranged defense at 42.1%
S/L at 30.2%
Energy at 39.7%.

Any help to make this build better would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Chrome,

Your link to the build doesn't work. Could you try posting the data block, or using a different set of codes that posts the link correctly?

Lewis

That is a freaky build.

I see one thing I don't like: you skipped acid arrow. I don't care if your pets and whips do that anyway, its too good to skip. That's just in my opinion. The ranged Defense is nice, but I'd personally try to get aid other and aid self somehow, so that I could just heal up the demons (and myself) between fights.

Lewis

Acid arrow has the added benefit of -def so after it hits those -res debuffs you and your demons are slinging around will hit easier and stack up quickly.
