Robo/Storm needing some help

I love my robo/storm MM... but... now I'm having trouble.

Got over to the hero side, ran up to a freakshow boss and with one shot, boom, took down my drones, my bots were at half life and I'm sitting there going wtf?!?

So, here's my build that I'm running right now.

I do have another question; Is the freezing rain putting out the fires that my Assault Bot creates with its missiles?

I am guessing you met up with a Super Stunner, the new Freakshow boss that has a big PbAoE damage when you defeat him and then he rezzes with a flourish kind of like Rise of the Phoenix. Your mastermind wants to try to take him down at range. The big problem is you can't debuff him before he rezzes with hurricane. You could try firing off gale ASAP when the super stunner rezzes. Honestly, these guys are a bigger pain the smasher tankers.

Freezing rain does not put out the burn patches. In fact, it increases the damage with -resistance and -defense. It's a GOOD thing for them to be in the same spot.

It used to be you could almost sleep through a mastermind fight against Freaks, but now finding the Super Stunner and dealing with him is a big priority for all ATs.

I think your build looks good so far. I can't wait to start playing again and take a few of my MMs hero side. Janurary cannont come fast enough!

Actually it was one of the Tanks. The big armoured bosses who's name I can't remember right now. It was the grenade launcher from his back that did it.

So how can I take alpha with a robo/storm MM?

Send one peon in first?
Send in the assault bot first?

Jump in myself with hurricane and knock them all silly?

Pets on defensive, superspeed + steamy mist is total invisibility that only rikti drones, nemesis snipers, and other high perception foes can see thru. You can patiently set up where you want to start the fight, and when you go (my stormies usually start out full tilt), the robots will support you if you don't put them in 'stay/defensive' too far away.
