I like how it looks. I like that it is relatively easily achievable without going crazy on purples. The only thing I twitched on was one slot of recharge in howling twilight. My Bots/Dark went nuts the disorient direction. The personal I attack for my mastermind I selected was photon grenades. Among the other critical tactics (fearsome stare, darkest night) my mastermind grabs aggro with the photon grenade; the protector bots respond with seeker drones and photon grenades of their own. Then, I add a howling twilight chaser just to make sure even more mag and more AoE stun is applied.
Of course, this leads to the alpha slotting of spiritual for heals, stuns, and the ever-popular recharge. I had a brief lapse in playing so I don't have an opinion on the other incarnate slots.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Tnx Psylenz, really appreciate the feedback and some good stuff to think about there.
I was going to comment that Cloud Senses in Darkest Night looked like a Mids bug, but I checked my Necro/Dark and sure enough, acc to-hit debuff can be slotted. Weird, since Corrs and Defs can't slot those. I'm sure that's well known to /Dark MMs, but I didn't know. Mine's a retired 50 so I don't usually pay much attention to /Dark MM issues.
Anyway, only 2 comments.
Of higher importance, you have no accuracy at all in Dark Servant. Your global accuracy and Tactics may suffice for lvl 50 content, but even with your bonuses and Tactics, my back the napkin math shows that against +3s, he has an 85% chance to-hit. I'd use 2 of the Cloud Sense with Accuracy enh in lieu of any 2 you have already.
Of lesser importance, I'd use a Winter's Gift IO instead of Endurance in Recall Friend. You're not going to burn a lot of endurance tping people, but the -slow and -rch resists can be quite nice.
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)

Good point about the winter's slow, I forget that set sometimes when topping off an uber build. As an aside, as the winter's gift for resist, putting 7.5% Rech buff of LotG in as many powers as you can such as manuvers, hover, vengeance, stealth powers, is beneficial - as you did in shadow fall.|

You dark users out there should be sure to 6 slot shadow fall due to the many beneficial single enhancement bonuses that you can slot there.

I have pretty much the same question. So, rather than start an entirely new thread I figured it'd be better to just post it here... since this will be my first IO'd out MM, and I wanted to see if there was anywhere I went horribly wrong, or whether there are areas that could be improved upon.

Omegalith, I would work to get one more recharge slot in Howling Twilight and more -tohit in Dark Servant.
edit: by the way, which alpha slot? You are way overslotted for damage in Assault Bot w/o musculature.

Thanks for the advice! Just a couple follow-up questions if you feel like answering them:
Would removing the Soulbound Damage slot from Assault Bot and using it to add more recharge to HT make sense, or is that taking TOO much damage away? (No alpha currently- just returned to the game after RL kinda kept me away for the last year so been messing with builds, Praetoria, tips and leveling assorted characters my first week + back)
With Dark Servant I really wasn't sure whether I should focus more towards his healing or towards -tohit. Would swapping out the Neg Dmg proc from Touch of the Nictus for maybe Siphon Insight's -tohit be enough, would I need more... or are there better alternatives set-wise for him?
Going back to my first level 50 - Robot/Dark MM and need some advice on the build I am thinking of putting together for him.
Appreciate any suggestions you may have.
