If this is your first MM or your first Stormy, I would pick something else to get used to masterminds.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Also, /Pain Domination would be good solo as well as on teams. If you want AoE right away, go Demons or Thugs, they have more AoE early. Robots are all single target until level 32.

Oops, Thugs is very good for teaming, too.

So this list is it from top to bottom suggestions or (more what it looks like) a grouping of suggestions.

Robot is primarily range. Necro is more melee-centric, and Demons is a bit of both. In each group I listed storm as last in the group since I feel it takes more skill to play. Forcefields is very basic. Dark and thermal are about the same once you get to the higher levels.|

To me the highest evolution of destructive ability for a mastermind is ... Robots/Storm. I use combat tp to queue up gale on spawns and work the Robot KB into forcing groups into corners for stormy corners of dooooom.

I say yes. The three drones have fullauto laser cones. The protectors spill out non-stop streams of photon grenades and seeker drones, and the Assault bot has the -regen laser shots with the AoE burn patch incendiary missiles.

I think I am leaning towards DS/Dark...don't have a lot of experience with either so it will be somewhat new.

I'd say yes also. If you can pull a spawn into a tight bunch (corner pull or whatever) and then immobilize it, post 32 your minions will AoE it to death fast, no matter what it is.

It's very sturdy. Don't be afraid to go in melee with the three big demons later to mix it up and twilight grasp.

Any good guides out there for DS? I looked in the guide section here and didn't see one linked.

To put this build together, I set it up on Mids and took the premium powers and bolted them in first. Demonlings, Enchant demons, Summon Demons, Hell on Earth, Fearsome Stare, Stamina, Summon Demon Prince, Abyssal Empowerment. Then I backfill to make it work. Tar Patch, Darkest Night, Howling Twilight, the Stamina pre-requisites. If you need travel before level 20, good luck. I am hoping you can get a temporary travel pack from a mayhem or else have the ninja run available.|

What, no Mercs/ ?
Oh, you're asking mechanically.
From a purely thematic perspective, I think it'd be a ton of fun to do an obviously-robotic mastermind with human minions, and go around telling people that the revolution has come.

I am looking for something that kills at a decent rate for the entire game...and is a good combo.

Humm, I'd say it's the /Traps side of that equation that is slow.|

My Mercs/Dark doesn't feel slow. Tar Patch FTW!
I am looking to start a MM and am looking for ideas on what is a good/great leveling MM combo...both solo and in groups.
I am looking for a decent combo for both single target and AoE damage.
