That was fast! Thanks to Bennywise for the SG invite.
Took a ~week hiatus from City (kind of unexpectedly or I would've given a heads up). Plan on putting some time on the MM to catch up a bit to you guys but will for sure be there wednesday and if not high enough lvl for whatever the majority want to get done I'll run a side crew for lower SG members/alts as numbers permit 
Also, I want puppy dogs, kitty cats and daddy dogs yes please like nao!!!
While I'm thinking about it: I will be leaving on a trip on Fri Jan 20th and will be gone until the 28th so I will miss the whole week. Sorry gang but the cruise comes first. I'll be back Sunday the 28th to resume Madness.

I prefer 2 Acc, 3 Dmg and 1 End until I get into recipe IOs where I start frankenslotting for Acc and Dmg and the procs. I especially find that the T2 pets lose End fast and they ALL do fighting Freaks or anyone with End drain.

I like frankenslotting all my pets even if I lose out on a lot of IO set bonuses. I am a fan of procs and usually slot the ones that have the best chance to trigger with each tier pet. For example, Lich has 6 attacks. 5/6 attacks has a tohit debuff property so I slotted a Cloud Senses proc. Only 1 power has an accurate heal and 1 power with knockback making Touch of the Nictus and Explosive Strike procs nearly useless.|

I usually put the Soulbound Allegiance proc in the tier 1 pets. There's 3 of them, more attacks = more chances to proc.
This was my planned build when I first made Bennywise. I didn't try to get a lot of defense as I knew playing with an all MM team that buffs/debuffs would be through the roof. Now that we have played together a bunch of times, I plan to redo this build with even less. Haha!

<-- cannot wait to do an all MM ITF. Ran one this afternoon with my mm in a pug, it was a ton of fun. It can only be better with enough stacked maneuvers & def buffs from the team to be able to really let the pets loose (had to hold back today until tankers had aggro locked down but once that was done my boys were melting minotaur face.)
The Friday night all-MM was epic. We first started by running around 7 tips. This brought a freshfaced thug MM recruit to level 21. We then took the challenge from Sister Psyche and had a freaky good time. Our level 21 SG-mate went from 21 to 24, my mastermind went from 32+ to 35. We did pick up a friendly AR/traps corruptor for the TF, but at least she had buff/debuff traps pets. 
I would like to think Sister Psyche is our signature TF. Lots of outdoor content, big maps with targets that offer double freak xp. This TF can get a mastermind through the tough levels (20-24) in style.
The all mastermind SG has picked up some new members in the last couple days for even more Mastermind on top of Mastermind, pets with more pets please, action.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
::grumble, grumble:: stoopid making plans on SG nights ::grumble, grumble::
Also, Haywire, not a terrible movie but certainly not worth seeing in theatres. Watch it on FX.
Speaking of plans on SG nights, I'm going to have to miss both Wed and Fri this week. I'm going out to San Jose on business. Is there anything interesting out there to do on a Thursday night?
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

It's been awhile since I have been to San Jose. I remember there was a bar called Mountain Charlies that I really liked. Maybe drive up to San Fran and visit Fisherman's Wharf, not sure what time the Alcatraz tour ends.

Last run of Alcatraz is mid-afternoon (or was when I was there). But yeah, it is a pretty short drive to San Fran from San Jose

Early shift usually starts getting together around 6ish Eastern time. I'll be late myself... hope to find enough able to do an all MM ITF this evening or Friday so git out there and git to lvl 35 folks!
Made 2 lvls on my MM on a mixed group Manticore (gotta love that half a lvl WST XP bonus). So one more and I'll be at 35 and since I'm only half way through the Midnighter arc, I ought to be there by friday.
Hey! We have a base! When did that happen? Can we get the enhancement table, inspiration and salvage racks opened up to all members instead of just leader and commander?
All MM ITF was a roaring success (except for one poor dc at the end 
) It was a ton of fun all the way through and we rolled over the mobs (was there any doubt?)

Yeh, poor Wikkin. I was hoping he'd make it back in. His vid card might hate the MM teams as he dc'd in the 3rd mission as well. Does anyone have Group Fly? I wonder how we would do on a LGTF.|

I want to add: these mastermind teams really are juggernauts with the buffs and debuffs (like an 8 defender team). We were sporting >60% defense in the ITF tonight.

is there a channel for this? i might move my MM to X if there's regular teamin

I created a channel called ExMMMadness to make it easy for any MM to find us. Let's just use it for players who want to join the SG, not for teaming. I do not want to take away from the regular MM channel. |

I am sure most players have the maximum amount of channels in their list so just join, get an invite and you are more than welcome to leave the channel. If you have space in your list, stay on ExMMMadness and invite others who may be looking for us.
I'll be a little late tonight. I plan to log in "It's Raining Ninjas" at around 6:30 PM EST.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

I'm sorry I've been absent these past two weeks. I went on vacation for a week (yay cruises!) and when I came back the combines work and school pressures broke me a bit. I will be starting night classes coming Monday so will have to fade back to weekends only for a month or so. Then my schedule changes and we'll see where that takes me. I appreciate others stepping up to lead the teams in my absense.

Any particular channels I should be keeping an eye on? My new thugs/traps hero, Felix 13, is off and rolling.
