1. I think you have too much slow enhanced in tar patch. I would slide a slot over to darkest night for some endurance cost reduction.
I think you could get mileage out of the fifth slot in Battle Drones with a IO recipe for Acc/Dmg. Another in Protector Bots to replace the third damage enhancement would have the same effect. I think you get to max fly speed with 2 flight speed enhancements at present.
Fearsome Stare needs some accuracy enhancements. Going generic IO enhancements, 2 Acc, 2 Fear, and 2 ToHit Debuff would serve you better.
I am not a fan of Teleport Foe. I would pull with a Twilight Grasp debuff, a Darkest Night pull to grab a spawn away from a nearby spawn, or a Battle Drone snipe/pull. In most cases my Bots/Dark initiates the attack with Fearsome Stare or Howling Twilight. Whatever isn't feared or stunned will aggro to my mastermind, and then the Robots respond in kind.
The Dark Servant is best slotted with a heavy heavy dose of ToHit Debuff since all his actions and attacks include a ToHit Debuff component. I like dampened spirits because it is an effective recipe set with useful bonuses. Siphon Insight is a Accurate ToHit Debuff set with nice bonuses, but it is more rare and more expensive.
At level 40, on the villain side, you are able to chose from the four patrons to do their mission arc to open the corresponding villain ancillary powers. If you switch sides, you just start taking ancillaries at level 41. The villain arcs are more difficult than regular missions or radio missions but they are soloable. Most masterminds either chose Mu for the knockback resistant immobilization or Black Scorpion for the Defense based shield to stack with the shield defense you receive from your Protector Bot.
Bots/Dark is a premier mastermind combination. Good luck.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

Hello everyone. I've been away for a long time (about 1.5 years), and am returning, as I now have some time to play, and do really enjoy this game. I've returned to find my SG is gone, and aside from my three other friends who are returning with me, everyone I know is gone as well. Aside from that, I'm having a great time again.
So, here's the deal. I've read on posts that my class is very powerful. And I do indeed feel very strong. But, I've read I can and should be able to do more (solo big bad guys, I even read this AT can do TF's?). I want to. I'm basically looking to max my character as much as I can. I do group, but not very often. When my friends are on, we crush most everything (the other three are also MM's, as they saw my abilities, and have rolled MM's too, also enjoying them. They are Demon/Dark, Ninja/Traps, and Ninja/Dark).
I'm at level 39, and here is my build, thus far...

This is accurate, down to the enhancements. They are all levels 30, 35, or 40. This is my highest toon by far, and I'm not rich by game standards. I have about 75mil, from playing the black market.
So...
1. Can I be built better/more powerful? If so, how, please?
2. What do I enhance my Dark Servant with, please?
3. As this is my highest toon, I've never done any of the Ancillary powers. Suggestions? (Also, I don't know anything about them. Are they hard to get? Solo-able? Are they even a quest to get at all, or can I just pick them?)
I do have other questions, but I'll wait and see if your responses cover them. If not, I'll ask later. Thank you in advance for your help.
