Bots/FF questions
For Judgment- I'd say Ion, due to it hitting the most enemies.
Alpha- Are you going for he Incarnate soft cap? If so, Agility will help out. You'll find no use of recharge, really. Your Endurance should be fine. Accuracy is almost a non-factor with pet sets. Really you are basically free to choose whatever here, none of them help that much.
Interface- Diamagnetic or Degenerative for AVs/GMs, Reactive for other stuff.
Lore- All of them hit like a truck, just different sized trucks. Really balanced, just choose whatever looks nice. Though Warworks have the best AoE, Cimerorans have the best ST.
Destiny- Barrier helps for resistance, def should be good. I don't know how much Rebirth increases max health for pets, could be nice.
I don't know of any AVs that outright ignore def. Some might have higher acc, and a lot of def debuffs, but if you can hit the i-cap you should be good.
As for taking on GMs and AVs- the A-Bot has perma -1000% regen (Reppu's number)

I was going to take a look at Warworks myself, they seem to fit in with the theme im going for.
Really? the A-Bot has a perma -1000% debuff? Thats insane...crazy good but I did not know that!
Yep im a werewolf, I fight crime and I enjoy what I do.
Thanks for this, it really helps a lot! Question about the Alpha though, would not Musculature help with damage and such?

Plasma Blast- 4 second recharge, -500% regen for 30 seconds
Dual Plasma Blast- 25 second recharge, -500% regen for 30 seconds
Due to how many attacks he actually has, animation times and what-not, it all apparently ends up with -1000% regen perma. Most likely has spikes of being higher. So he should be able to floor the regen of AVs/GMs
Some things to think about then. Thanks!
By the way, with the various bots...what IO set would you (or anyone) suggest? I hear blood mandate is good but I dont see a lot of Sovereign Right or any other Pet IO's. Are these not recommended?

Blood Mandate is recommended mostly due to it being really cheap, it giving good all around enhancement values, and it giving good set bonuses as well. You can generally pick up the whole set for about 10mil in my experience.
You will want to find spots for the +5% def, +15% AoE def, and +10% res IOs. These are much more expensive, however. For good reason- each pet in Supremacy range receives those bonuses. You could probably slot two of them in Prot Bots (I don't use them for damage, purely support), and another in Drones.

I rolled a Bots/FF toon and so far its really working well. Enemies can hardly hit my guys and taking down bosses (while slow..only lvl 28) is pretty much fire and forget. However, I know that when I get my final upgrade my damage is going to be nicer.
My questions revolve mostly around the end game content. I have little experience with the incarnate system (only got my WS his alpha slot a day ago) and aside from that not much else is known. I know MM's can do pretty well on the iTrials (mostly hear about the GOD AWFUL PET AI making things go wrong). However what incarnate powers would the forumites suggest?
Also, since Bots/FF is extremely passive with little debuffs coming from myself, aside from the assault bots -regen and the protector bots stuns, would this build suffer in end game? How many AV's ignore def making my bubbles worthless? Should I be slotting any specific IO sets into my Bots and FF's?
