The best I can do is tell you what I did for my Bots/Traps and why.
Alpha: I have both Spiritual and Musculature Cores. I use the Musculature when I'm running solo because more damage is more damage, but in team and league atmospheres, I want more recharge so I can act more the force multiplier.
Judgement: Ion because it's pretty and I'm a Bots/Traps. It looks the most techy of the other powers.
Lore: Warworks, again mostly because of theme.
Interface: Reactive Radial for the damage over time. It is very impressive. Once I get on a team, though, I switch to the confuse one because it's less common and it avoids the stacking limit.
Destiny: Rebirth +Max HP. The bonus hitpoints aren't much to players like you and me, but to the bots, it's a significant amount of health. It also boosts my own regen just by having that larger health pool.
Where to now?
Check out all my guides and fiction pieces on my blog.

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.

Thanks! This sound logical, I will check what other options are available, but guess this would do |

BTW I took your bots/traps build as basis for this one
Thanks for sharing it
I'm glad it helped.
I don't know if you've seen my Mastermind Guide, but I'm hoping to get some solid incarnate advice added to it before long.

Ive never incarnated a char before (short off...I have a +1 Ill/Cold, but has no other incarnate powers). Im having SO much fun with my bots/traps (currently sitting at 40), that im planning in incarnating it, at least getting a few T3 powers and the 3 level shifts.
What powers should I chose? If needed, this is my current build (it has one slot left, still deciding if putting a javellin proc in caltrops or a lockdown proc in poison trap)
Thanks!
