Hey guys & girls, I'm new the forums, but have had this mastermind be my first 50. I've never really thought about sets until a while ago. So i spent some time on this and I would really like some review. All comments and tips appreciated.

Btw, I was planning on using ninja run till I chose Super Jump.

That is somewhat similar to my build. I just updated it in Mids to prep for i19 so I'll post it here. I initially took Thunderstrike but dumped it later; running into melee all the time wasn't quite right for me. I have some vestiges of that left because I crafted a couple IO sets with melee defense. This whole thing was built fairly cheap...the Soulbound Allegiance proc was not cheap but it wasn't too bad. Looks like it's about 30-40M right now.

I plan on reworking this quite a bit after i19. I'll probably pick up Maneuvers and Group Fly. Group Fly is very cool with the robots. Also your slotting of defense into the protector bots is probably a good idea.

I have World of Pain frankenslotted. I plan to do the same to Anguishing Cry because it's such a great power; I'd like to max def debuff and recharge, get close to max on accuracy, and still leave room for the Achilles' Heel proc.

I have 3 attacks because I get bored without any. Electrifying Fences helps the Assbot kill stuff faster. But I care more about healing and using World of Pain and Anguishing Cry effectively.

BTW I am not necessarily recommending the sets I slotted. They are just the ones I ended up with at 50.

As I play this MM I don't feel the need for accumulated set bonuses as much as I want the key powers I use to be most effective (like WoP, AC, and the heals). So I'm leaning toward frankenslotting more powers once I rebuild in i19. And to reclaim some slots I'll dump one of the two MM attacks I'm using mostly as set mules - probably Photon Grenade as it sucks major endurance... and just sucks period. I mostly like it because of the awesome sound effect.

So I like your ideas, but as I researched, Group Fly would be great for an MM but the movement speed and over-versatility is kills me. Plus it eats end, even with it slotted up.

And I'm wondering, isn there any reason why you used Doctored Wounds instead of Numina's Convalescence?

Is there any specific reason you chose hasten? As a MM I didn't feel to inclined to take it even with my long recharge on Pain Bringer. That's really the only ability we use that has a longer recharge duration.

As I'm also curious as to why you 5 slotted Electrifying Fences, err now that I take a second look, I know why, so disregard that last comment. Hahaha.

I'll take in your input and work together our 2 builds and post it for both of us.
