I am a big defense cap player. I have recently discovered it even though it has been around for years. I consider it an open secret that some players just don't care to understand. I finally decided to give it a try and see what it as all about. After seeing what my Dark Electric Defender could do I decided to try out a Sonic Traps on Villain side. After soloing +1 +8 and +2 +8 groups and further doing some TF's in which I was given some modest complements I feel it is the ideal way to go for my Masterminds as I just use the pets as an extension of my own attacks. I basically consider the pets as always on attack powers that I need to toggle on and off.
the build is good in the sense it is Smash, Lethal, Energy and Ranged Positional type Defense Capped. Smash and Lethal are the most common damage types. and Ranged is the most common Positional attack. If you don't understand the importance of this by all means just say so and myself or someone else can jump in and explain.
That being said here is my take on Demon Summoning / Pain. I do not know how "Gimped" it might be in some power areas in the Pain section.

You might think if leaving out Suppress Pain. It's certainly a nifty power, but not as useful as I thought it would be. If you're looking for recharge, take hasten instead.
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
--The Question, JLU
Quote:
Because the build had all 4 pools already slotted the best I could do is Remove Maneuvers and Tactics and replace it with hasten and web envelope. Scorpion shield is also 6 slotted. Health is also slotted with a full set of Numinas Convalescence which is somewhat expensive as is Guassian. Though now that the markets are being combined it might lower the price or somewhere in between. So now you have Smash and lethal Capped and Energy and Ranged are VERY close 43% for Ranged and 44 for Energy. |

The problem again is no Maneuvers and Tactics. How bad is not having that in a IO build? I don't really know.
The build also has some decent resistance numbers across the board. Over all the build is a cheap build minus the Num + regen. I guess you can work to get the merits and buy it if you don't have the money.
