Multi-mob Mayhem

Hello all,

I'm looking for help with a fun build.

I've always wanted to play a hero/villain/kheldan that I could set the difficultly up to +0/x8 or so and just blow stuff up and not worry bout things....you know, when I have a bad day and just want to arrest/kill stuff in mass numbers.

What builds do you think are capable of this with the least amount of thought/planning ?

Thanks in advance....

Some builds are easier than others to make them into characters that can blow anything up. For example, a Warshade requires numerous set bonuses to make Eclipse permanent for an AoE monster with capped resistances. So do you want something that is strong right out of the box or requires some work to be strong?

My choice would be a Mastermind. Robots, Demons, and Thugs seem to be the most popular with Dark, Pain, or Thermal as the secondary. Traps, Storm and Force Field also are somewhat popular, but Traps requires set up time, Storm can be rather annoying for teams, and Force Field is rather dull.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

Probably the character I've set to +0/x8 the earlier is my Katana/Willpower Scrapper. I did so with her sometime in the mid 20's after leaving Praetoria. Divine Avalanche, stacked twice, helps very much with that.

My SS/Fire Brute, though she required a macro to fuel her constant need for a blue bar, pretty much requires far less hopping about, getting things into cones, and going "Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!" when my defense isn't enough.

For Infernal Infested (said brute), standard procedure is: hop into mob, wait a few seconds, hit Fiery Embrace, hit Burn, kill minions, hit Footstomp, kill Lt's, use KO Blow on whatever is still left standing.

She essentially power-levelled herself to 50 after she got Burn. :P

But at the moment my Kat/Will doesn't even have any IO sets slotted. Though she does have a few of the uniques. And I don't yet have the slots to solve her endurance issues yet.

Ooh, cool idea! I want to do this as well! I love mayhems but I've never really tried to solo a x8 one.

I guess one would need a toon that kills an entire police spawn in less than 30 seconds to get the time bonuses? I don't think any of my toons could manage it but I have never tried. I am so gonna try this with my SS/WP brute but I doubt he can pull it off. My Fire/Fire Dom might be a better choice...

Well, now I know what to do tonight!

Ok, I'm kinda disappointed.

I just finished the PI mayhem with my brute at 0/x8 with 10 minutes to spare. It was a lot easier than I had thought.

He didn't cause enough mayhem tho - too little AoE to explode all the stuff easily.
