After playing Demons/Time to level 25, and several Robots/Force Field to 50....
I recommend Demons/Force Field.
The defense and mez protection of Force Field is awesome, even without synergistic pet powers.
Couple it with Demons' high resistances and debuffs(especially the slows or killing faster do to -resistance) and you've got very nicely layered survivability.
I think Demons/FF is likely even better than Bots/FF.
Time Manipulation leaves the demons a bit squishy, at least before Farsight. Time's Juncture drops due to mez a lot, and that is pretty much all of your best defenses(not being hit).
Time Manipulation is good, maybe slightly better than Thermal, but I'll pick Force Field instead after playing it.
Edit:
Time Manipulation is also VERY busy and VERY endurance heavy.
Force Field is just much more relaxed and easily maintainable, and it leaves you room for the whip attacks and using them often.
If you plan to "tankermind" then Force Field is clearly the better choice since it focuses on unresistable buffs(with a 255 target cap) rather than resistable debuffs with a target cap of no more than 16 enemies.
Time Manipulation doesn't fair as well against too many enemies or the really strong ones.
I guess that goes for any set, so Thermal may be better due to more emphasis on buffs.
Hi all,
I have been playing my Demons/Pain MM for a while now and hes level 45, but Im finding that im realy starved for energy (I have 5 Toggles (Supress Pain, Manuvers, Assault, Tactics and the Mu toggle)) and that my pets end up getting mashed up quickly when grouping with others.
Im looking for a MM that can DPS with the demons and to keep them alive while they are DPSing while either providing control or group support.
If you can provide a full build with optimized IO slotting, that would be awesome!
If you would recommend something OTHER then /Time or /Thermal thats fine, but I want to stick with Demons.
Looking forward to seeing the feedback!
