I think I finally found a Mastermind I will love, Rena the Reanimator, a Necromancy/Time Manipulation. Here is my first crack at a build, please let me know what you would do differently, if anything, and why. Thanks in advance!

The first /time build to play with!! You are brave to post it, and I promise - you shall bring great joy to these forums. I'm excited to see what other posters will write.

I made an edit of your build. I added almost 10% more global recharge (reslotting the lich and Time Crawl).

Regarding the lich, I threw in a more controller centered build. I'm sure you can see a couple posts below there is a discussion regarding how to slot the lich. My main issue with the initial slotting wee the knockback (+smashing damage) and Touch of the Nictus slots. These only have a chance to go off when the lich uses a knockback ability or his version of twilight grasp, respectively. You can find better things to do with those slots - like more hit debuff.

I played with your health and stamina slotting, as well as pet upgrades, to pull slots to give to your pets. My experience is that the Grave Knights should get the purple proc, as well as the def debuff procs (both). And in general, the knights and the zombies are your main (only) source of damage. Slot them. Love them.

Lastly, I pulled your pvp glad IO. With the def you're sporting, it was just gilding your lily.

Lastly, there's at least one extra slot to play with - maybe more if depending on how you shift your focus. The one I'm thinking of is the final slot in distortion field. I threw a lockdown proc there (b/c I'm dying to test that and didn't have a chance on beta). No idea if it would be a good thing, but it makes a certain sense.

So yeah, that's my thinking on this subject. YMMV (of course). It's still to early to tell what will be the best slotting.

Thanks so much for your advice on slotting for the pets, and the other little things that i went overboard on. The main reason I posted was to get good advice on how the pets worked and an optimize slotting.

Bloodbath: have you followed Silas' fire/time corruptor build thread in the scrapper forum? Lots of interesting ideas there...
