Hi all, I have been leving my first MM a DS/Pain and woo its been fun. He hit lv 47 yesterday and so it is time to begin sloting. However as I play manily tanks and brutes I have no idea were to start. So can anyone help me with some tips etc.

I have about 2.5 bill to spend on build, but what to aim for soft cap def regen or recharge I have no idea, should I leave out the Whips? So anyhelp I can get would be great.

I have to have hover as part of his concept, and he mainly for teaming and some light solo work but would like him to feel Uberish.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Personally the more your alive the more you can summon the pets that are dead.. So I would go defense cap.. Sadly not much you can do to get a lot of defense with DS Pain.

This is what I have atm..

First build gives you Smash Lethal Energy Ranged cap.. Swap out Combat jump for Hover.. Though your endurance ratio will drop..

2nd Build gives you Smash lethal Energy Cap and Ranged is at 44.2% ( pretty close to cap ) But has provoke slotted in the build..

I am more in favor of the 2nd build because I do not think I can out heal the aggro my pets will get.. No travel power able to be slotted here though.

Plainguy, can you post those lognform for those on Macs? No mids for us.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Thanks for the response Plain Guy. I was wondering mind would it be worth working towards large Recharge and Regen/HP as with as I should be able to get 55+ Resistance in most areas, almost like working on a WP brute rather than gimping the build a bit to hit the DEF Cap, which would get debuffed to 0 in an ITF anyway?
I maybe wrong as its my first MM, so any thoughts about not going the Soft Cap rout?

Huh. I wonder if the Mid's guys are working on a Mac version, or if they'd let their database be used to make a Mac version.

Fleeting Whisper is working on a Mac version in his spare time. There's a few posts about it. Right now all we got is Suckerpunch and paper.
