Hi There,

Not alot of info out there on this combo and maybe that is for good reason. Is it a poor choice? I took it for concept reasons....Anyway have a look at my build. My build abilities are weak so basically what you see is a collection of various separate posts glommed together into this build. The recharge looks good....I am not sure what defense to shoot for after the bots put up their shields. Also, being new to Masterminds I saw alot of builds with provoke....so I added that as well....I am guessing to take the heat of the pets?.....Sorry for all the ignorant questions.....by ignorant i do not mean rude...I simply mean stupid

Here is the build

At a quick glance it looks good for the regular powers. You know what to emphasize. I would throw some love to the pets with the two mastermind pet damage and recharge intensive set defense bonus IOs. I am not a big fan of the fighting pool, especially on pain and thermal masterminds. They have self heal. In your patron choices, in my opinion you need a 'problem foe' stopper. If you take char, you can hold that nasty sapper in one shot. With enough recharge and duration you can hold tougher stuff.

Thanks for the help Psylenz, I dropped the fighting pool and picked up char. I will re post but I am not sure which IO's you were speaking of......Where you said to throw them some love?

Specifically: Edict of the master: Defensive Aura for Pets and Sovereign Right Aura Increased Resistance.

What level is your mastermind now?

No, not at all, people post builds differently however if they are already level 50 to max out abilities.

ok how about this Psylenz?,,

Is maneuvers needed if I drop the fighting pool anyway? or is it needed even more? Is that where you would put the two pet uniques? I also changed to chill mastery. Not sure if that was the right move or not?

I admit I do like this build better. Splitting up the pet uniques is good to make sure you don't gimp the damage side too much. I do like the chill mastery for defense. The lethal/smashing portion will stack nicely with your protector bot defense. Maneuvers and tactics are very beneficial to your first tier guys. This build should server you VERY well.

Excellent!! That fills me with confidence going forward. I like things neat and organized as I level. Lol I wonder if all gamers are ocd-ish or just me?

Anyway, Thank you very much for the help. I really wanted to do thermal. I know traps is "teh uber" with bots. I just wanted something different
