I'm Mids-illiterate, so no help there. I just wanted to say how much I like the concept.
What is the consensus on Grant Invis for Ninja/Time? Good? Helpful? Too much trouble?

More of a question of "can you afford it" than anything else. The endurance cost is *steep* for a Mastermind ... at over 90 END (unreduced) to cover all 6 pets ... for 120 seconds. Your best slotting for it, as a MM is going to be a pair of common 50 IOs for Endurance Reduction. The annoying thing is that it's still single target, rather than being a Target AoE buff of stealth radius, so it'll take a good 15 seconds or so to stop and apply it to all 6 pets.|

It's useful for being able to "sneak in" with all your pets ready for a massive alpha strike, or being able to stealth past content with your pets in tow. The defense buff you get from it though won't keep your pets alive (although every little bit helps). It *is* a lot of hassle to maintain though.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
Just a note on Flash Freeze... this is both one of the weakest and buggiest powers in the game. It is an AoE sleep on a very long recharge timer that does (incredibly) minor damage, so it can't even be stacked for hard targets, if you take an Interface that does damage it will proc on Flash Freeze because it takes Damage Enhancements and immediately break the sleep, and the VFX frequently doesn't even show up at all, so you can't actually tell what you have successfully affected with it.
There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this power except that it can cheaply get you set bonuses from Fortunata's Hypnosis if you have four slots to spare.
I would very strongly suggest that you go for Power Boost from Mace Mastery to increase the defense you're getting from Farsight for your pets. I promise you, they will need it. Ninjas are extremely squishy.
@Draeth Darkstar
Virtue [Heroes, Roleplay], Freedom [Villains], Exalted [All Sides, Roleplay]
Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.
Only problem with Power Boost is that the toon is a hero so going villain to get the power is kinda out of concept. Not a roleplayer but still try to do the storylines in game in the context of the character. The real reason for the power is to use it for the Placate proc in the purp set. Want to test to see if that along with smoke bomb could placate a large part of a mob. Not getting hit is great defense 
Unfortunately, the placate proc will only placate mobs from attacking you, not your pets, and the recharge is prohibitively long to rely on a 33% chance to fire.

Ahhhhhh... did not know that the placate only worked on the user and not the pets. Well i guess its back to the drawing board on the epic power choices. Thanks for the info
Lord Jaguar is a concept toon in that he is an animal spirit incarnate who is the spirit animal of the Jaguar ninja clan. Over the years this clan has lost its way from its roots and devolved into not much more than paid henchman. So he has returned to lead them back to greatness showing honor and dignity to the ancient ways. (Hero)
Here is my proposed build. Helpful thoughts and ideas welcome
