Demon Trio?

All,

I am planning to make a Demon Summoning trio, because I have the ability to 3-box. There are 4 secondaries I'd like to have, and I cant decide between them. I'm wondering what your opinion might be on the best arrangement of secondaries:

Demon/Dark
Demon/Force Field
Demon/Pain
Demon/Storm

I want Demon/Force Field for the mez protection and the extra defense. If I used it, I would take the single target bubbles, but I would mostly let that character cruise on auto/aggressive running Dispersion Bubble and Maneuvers.

I want Demon/Pain for the AOE regen aura and the AOE heal. The buffs and debuffs are also massively nice. I would leave the regen aura on, but I probably wouldn't click the AOE heal except perhaps situationally.

I want Demon/Storm because I love Storm and because of the 4, if I had only one account, this is the one I would drive. Also, I think the team should really have group stealth, and Steamy Mist from Storm provides that. It also lets me stack a bit of Defense with Steamy Mist.

I want Demon/Dark because Dark is very cool, and Darkest Night is massive for safety. The targeted heal is nice too, even if usually only the other 2 characters are guaranteed to be close. But I have done Dark before on several masterminds, so I'm leaning towards dropping this one. But it does have more Stealth and Defense in Shadow Fall.

So which 3 of the 4 would you take?

Thanks,

Lewis

I'd actually leave out /Pain since all your 2nd tier demons will have Abyssal Reconstruction. sounds like it's gonna be fun, good luck in the caves

Ah. The top buff. What does that do, does it make one of the demons cast a heal or something?

Anyone else have an opinion on the best trio to make?

Thanks,

The ember demons (first tier-2 pet) get a single target and an aoe heal with the first and second upgrades respectively. Since you'll have three of them and a dark miasmist, pain dom is fairly redundant. I'd suggest a dark, a storm, and the force fielder.

That combo brings a lot of debuff, control, and healing, and there's powers in both dark and storm that buff defense and reduce foe tohit to synergize smoothly with the force fielder. Anyway, that's what I'd suggest.

*blinks* You have super-speed IRL, and you're dithering around in a superhero MMO?

Seriously, I have no idea how people manage triple-boxing. Even dual-boxing, in ponderously slow Eve, and only ever using the second for support or hauling duty taxed the heck out of me.

No suggestions I can make, just looking on in confused awe.
