Therms are support builds. This is the way the Devs designed them. Therms buff, heal, & help with debuffing. I have found that my /Thermal MM works his best when supporting other MMs.
The part about the MM being a "heavy hitter", are ya talking about burst damage here? I think you have the wrong AT my friend.
Oh, love your TF teams - by the way.

Well that's the way I play this guy. I storm in and I take no prisoners. It has worked very well for me. I just want to improve on that mentality. I enjoy the debuffs this guy has but If I spend all my time buffing and healing I don't have time to fight. It's way too much fun the way my build is now to go back. My original build I tried to concentrate on the buffing and healing and when I switched to a more aggressive build I noticed that I was doing some pretty awesome damage. I like it so much I can't go back. |

In regards to the sf teams thanks. I love doing SFs and large scale events. Come on out to one or both of our weekly momship raids. The links are in my signature. If you are interested in joining either of our VGs (Voodoo Masters of Virtue and Venu Sovereignty on Freedom) hit me up in-game.
Short and sweet: I hate the fighting pool on masterminds, pick up Forge, it's an accuracy/damage buff that will push the burn patches even higher on the Assault bot, and for pete's sake put some slots in heat exhaustion.
Triumphant Defenders Forever
Psylenz FF/Psi, ArticQuark Storm/Rad, Symon BarSisyphus Bots/psn, Max VanSydow Thugs/Dk, Cyclone Symon Bots/stm, Blue Loki Ice/Cd, Widow 46526
HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

In the place of the Fighting Pool I suggest going with Speed. Hasten will speed up your debuffs & everything else you need to do damage with. SS in PvE is the ****. SS will allow you to stealth a mission map and set up your henchmen in the final room.
Heat Exhaustion should be 2 ACC IOs/2 Rech IOs. Melt Armor(MA) - six-slot it for the love of God. Melt Armor is such a sweet debuff. Get MA's Recharge % up in the 90s.
Go with Miracle IOs in Health and get the +Rec one.
You have too many attacks. Think to yourself what your attack chain will be. I suggest: Thunder Strike to open with, Sands of Mu, & then Pulse Rifle Burst to clean up the stragglers.

People run around with petless MM's, offensive tankers, and blappers, what's wrong with focusing Therm on debuff rather then buff?

Ok, if I'm not mistaken, this is going to be the most uber build I could possibly get out of this guy now.
