Perhaps I went overboard. I appologize. Even though I consider the concept of a petless MM to be about as usefull as a trapdoor in a lifeboat, that doesn't mean I should belittle those who pursue this route.

AHH... Apology accepted.
Look I don't know what you know or don't know.. Here is my thought on it. Traps along with a a basic build of tough, weave, combat.. Etc.. Pretty much the build I posted gets you to Defense cap.. You can use that build with anything Arch Type that can use traps and get defense cap.
At that point you could beat mobs up with a spoon. Would it be slow ? Yea.. But it would be very difficult to die. Without out a doubt the 3 pets do increase your DPS output.. I should do a comparison to see what the difference is between the 2 DPS wise.
What I did was, I leveled my Robot Traps to 50 and did a bit of petless soloing.. Basically simulating what it would be like as a petless mastermind. I didn't have the 3 attacks that whips does. instead I used some temp powers.. Pistol, baseball bat and Ritki gun. Without a doubt it was a slower run. But I can tell you reassuringly that without a doubt many players who do not do Defense cap could not handle the +1 +7 runs.
Further it could be possible for my build to out DPS another player who is not at defense cap simply because the player could incur more deaths or is likely to incur more deaths. Again it isn't fact just some street science. I am pretty sure many have been on teams where the same 2 or 3 people end up taking dirt naps repeatedly.
Plus at the end, I have about 14 to 16 lvl 50s total from both sides. Sort of trying to spice up the game for myself.
