I'd suggest either Claw or Dark/ Willpower or Electric Brute or Scrap. Claw if you want some extra AoE, Dark if you want more mitigation. Willpower is 100% fire and forget, while Electric has a click for healing, but also has a dmg aura what adds extra damage.

But I hope strongly that they assume a meth-head somehow managed to hack into my forum account and make paper airplanes out of my posts, because I hope they recognize stupid when they see it. I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

As someone once said to me, Masterminds are the only AT he's been able to play while eating soup at the same time.

This. Just took my Bots/FF on an Eden Trial today, did quite well (rest of team was awesome). Bubble team, run Dispersion and leadership toggles, follow Tank into melee. Once per fight, order Assault bot and Drones to go aggressive and attack one boss. (I leave my Protector bots on Defensive for the Bodyguard.)

Aside from giving out some directions (I was leading), TPing people and using Aid Other and Resuscitate a couple of times, that's all I did.

In no particular order:

kat/wp
claws/invuln
claws/wp
dm/inv


The key to all these is, the secondary doesn't need a damn thing after you toggle up. Inv is tougher, wp has a lot more end early on. Both have taunt auras so no running mobs.

kat and claws both do more AOE, the dm/inv is hands-down the toughest scrapper/brute/tanker build out there that's not a stoner.

Roll any of them of any flavor and snooze your way to victory.

Switch on hot feet and choking cloud. Summon imps. Walk into mob and stand there picking your nose while your imps do all the work. All you need to do is throw off the occasional heal and possibly spamming the immobilise so that the mobs dont get any silly ideas and try to run off.

Mine was easily the laziest toon I have ever played.

Life is one big practical joke that we as the human race have yet to see the punchline to. Once you work that out the rest is easy.

Any recommendations for those of us who slack best at range?

Bots are ranged. So is FF. Buff your friends from range.

Oh, yeah. I should have said blaster, corruptor, etc - something that isn't pet-oriented, and may or may not be control-oriented.

Based on what I've seen so far, a Fortunata, Bane, Crab, or an FF/Dark Defender.
