Bots and Demons

Hiya folks,

I was wondering where the 2 stood dps and toughness wise? Which of the two can take more damage and dish out the best dps, just wondering because my demons can deal out some nice dmg but seem pretty squishy, if bots are better I might just make the switch.

Thanks!

I've gotten demons to 12 and bots to 30. So far, demons strike me as doing better damage, and being comparable in squishiness. One of them melees more than the battle drones do, but lives longer while meleeing. On the other hand, I also have heals now. I'm doing bots/traps and ds/dark.

I think the squishy drones are typical for most MM's at lower level. Some may have a bit better melee combat defenses due to being more melee leaning types.

I have not played thugs and mercs in years.... But i have played them.

It's been a very long time leveling my MM robotics...but I recall that they were not very good on hit taking till I got my bubble from protector bots...

Things will change when you get the upgrade. To me the Demonic pets are most effective at mid range to close range...while bots are long range on most of the attacks. I survived cause I had miasma going...fat heals and tar patch to let my pets workem with ranged.

I took on Leadership for the def buffs and accuracy buffs...that would help in the long term.

You may want to look into this thing people refer to as Tankermind... from what i barely read I believe the MM gets provoke and pulls mobs on him then lets the pets have at it and peal them off...I would investigate the builds on the guide some.

Do you solo a lot or team? You may consider just teaming your way to make life easy.

Thanks for the responses guys, I usually solo most of the time, i'll look into the Tankermind.
