Well, I was writing up a few points on Ninja/Poison...

Then I noticed this is in the PvP section (hitting new posts makes me unaware of sections)
Since I don't PvP I can't really give any insight on how well they do there.

That said, if you haven't played Ninja's before they can be a minor pain to keep in line. GoTo command will be your best friend.

Also, I've heard really horrible things about /Poison for MM's. Ninja/Psn sounds like a painful combo for me, due to all the micro mananging.

However, they might be really good for PvP so I'll exit now and let someone with more knowledge help.

Poison MMs can be brutal in duels but generally there are better secondaries (storm, pain, thermal) for large teams.


Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit

pets with swords aren't going to fare to well for zone pvp, hence the reason you always see bots/thugs. You can get soul mastery for soul storm which is a nice hold but your pets will be all over the place since they're mainly melee. Most kills for mm's happen when people are trying to make their esacpe after inflicting dmg, and your ninjas are gonna have a tough time chasin down every person that does a hit and run on you. Sure, you'll get kills from the bad skilled pvper's that stand in the middle of a mm's mob, but you're gonna find yourself wishing your pets had some range after numerous heroes escape your melee based pets.

necro/poison. You can play it like a corr if you go ice mastery. Double proc dark blast, gloom, and ice blast. You also get life drain for the heal, not to mention hoardfrost. Weaken also gives about -19% -tohit (slotted) and all your attacks do -tohit (-5.6% -tohit per attack) mixed with you having a defense shield..... they are going to have a hella of a time hitting you. (pets also do -tohit). Also playing a mm in zone requires alot of skill. It's not really worth it unless you have a team of mm's.....then it's blast.
