We just got a New set.
But as regards to proliferation, anything is possible. /Rad would be a killer however, so i could see it being dulled down a bit.
No actual hints as far as I can tell, except for the latest Producer letter which said we will be gien reasons to keep making new characters.

/Sonic or /Rad strike me as the most likely next target for MM secondary Proliferation. /Cold lags behind that since it has overlap with the previously proliferated /Storm.

I'm looking for just about anything new on the /side.
I have no problem making new MM's with the same pets. I just want to do something different
as far as buffing and debuffing.
I guess I just wait and see what i20 has for sets.

I'd bet on /Sonic or /Cold, myself.
/Radiation would need to be tweaked a lot, and one power (Accelerate Metabolism) completely replaced. As such, I figure it is unlikely to be chosen for proliferation any time soon.
(That said, i doubt we're going to see any proliferation soon. Maybe next year?)
-This Space Intentionally Left Blank.-
As long as it isn't another 'solo buff every pet' set like FF and /Therm. Sonic would suffer from this but, like Therm, it's a great set.
I'd try Cold too. Having another enemy debuffing set would be nice. I loves /Dark.
Rad would need major work (and a watered-down or removed AM) but who knows...we might get lucky.
"Comics, you're not a Mastermind...you're an Overlord!"
Ever since the CoV release I keep hoping for a /elec set. It's about the only thing that would make me reroll my Mastermind Incarnate Main.
/Rad would pretty much make Poison useless in a lot of ways, since Rad amounts to most of the same effects but in AoE form.
/Kinetics would have been cool back before Henchmen became unaffected by recharge modifiers. It wouldn't be all that bad, it's just that Speed Boost on the Henchmen wouldn't really do anything. Ninjas/Kin would be hilarious all the same.
/Sonic would be pretty fun, albeit a bit boring since in a lot of ways it's just FF with Resistance, though things like Liquefy, Disruption Field, and Sonic Siphon make it a little less dull.
Obviously what we need is Proliferation of sets that don't fall in to the existing categories: Bring on Control secondaries for Masterminds! And Melee Primaries for Blasters! And Ranged Primaries for Stalkers!
Well baring the release of a new buff/debuff set there are 5 possible proliferation:
Cold Domination
Empathy
Kinetics
Radiation Emission
Sonic Resonance
To me Cold Domination and Sonic Resonance are the obvious choices. Both could be ported with no changes beyond the mandatory AT scaling changes and would (I think) be reasonably balanced.
Of the other three Empathy is extremely unlikely to happen, the devs designed Pain Domination as a redside Empathy so I don't see MMs suddenly getting Empathy now. Similarly Poison seems to have been designed as a weaker version of Radiation Emission for MMs so I would be surprised if MMs got Rad.
Kinetics is the wild card. On the one hand it's got a lot of powers that aren't hugely useful to pets since they don't benefit from recharge bonuses and most don't have endurance issues. On the other hand the damage a Fulcrum Shifted squad of pets can do is amazing (especially on the AoE heavy pets). In the end I think the devs are unlikely to port Kinetics to pets simply because a large number of it's powers aren't particularly useful for buffing/supporting pets.
Personally I would most like to see Cold Domination as MM's have no powers that are able to benefit the Recovery of other players. Kin would be a bit weak in terms of keeping your pets alive until late game but Rad would suit MM playstyle's the best.
That being said, I think it would be useful for the devs to reconsider allowing MM pets to benefit from +recharge, even if at a reduced scale.
Many of the pets have powers that are on similar recharge as solo AT's such as LRM Rocket and Rain of Fire that would be great to have recharge faster, even if 20-50% faster.

Mad-Scientist -Bot/Poison MM- Freedom,
Ogun Ajala -Fire/Shield Scrapper - Virtue,
Make You Smile -Thugs/Dark - Virtue
Kyuji Warrior - Fire/Trick Arrow Corruptor - Virtue
I personally would like to see a working pet AI before they implement another powerset, which would no doubt screw it up further

I need /Rad damn it! At this point I only like two of the MM secondaries (Dark and Thermal) so I need another one that I'll actually play. Or changing the power customization color pools of Snowstorm and Freezing Rain to match the rest of Storm Summoning instead of being limited to light, pastel crap.

I've been away from MM's for a while now and was wondering if there was any word on new sets coming.
I keep hoping for a /Rad. It would be my dream MM set.
I remember one dev saying something about Kinetics but there would be a lot of tweaking done to the set.
Anything else?
