A Moment of your time please!

It's been quite a couple of years since I've looked at Mastermind set.
And I was thinking of building my second one for i23.

I would like to build a Tankermind preferably with /Traps.
I would love to be able to go along the game fighting AV's / Heroes.

Would any of you have any primaries to suggest over the other?

I understand that Thug/Dark and Robo/Dark seem to be the most obvious of choices to go ahead but I just can't stand Shadow Fall >.<!

Umm so yeah!

Thanks for reading :3

Thugs
Demons
Bots


Traps
Dark
Time

Mix and Match, note specifically for av's, bots is a bit stronger of a pairing for time as it provides -regen

And read my Mastermind Guide.

Necro pets are relatively fragile, but /Traps is a good pairing for them to help in that department. You also get the fun of using Detonator + Soul Extraction. Necro/Traps will also be able to slot all the pet aura IOs I believe because of Soul Extraction. -Regen in the primary you pick is really irrelevant if you go /Traps because it provides an enormous regen debuff all on its own. I think I'm talking myself into a Necro/Traps. I'm feeling my altitis kicking up again

@Rorn ---- Blue Baron ---- Guardian

the bruiser in thugs set does not have taunt ability that i recall, but hes also just as fragile as the other pets so i would not rely on his ability to absorb dmg either

i have a demon/trap which works excellent

bot/trap is a classic one which doesnt even need IOs to be strong

really almost anything with /trap is good enough to kill AVs due to poison trap, just some sets of pets can output more dmg

I don't notice the bruiser holding aggro on thugs time so if he does have a taunt it definitely doesn't make him a tank.

And having a necro/dark in the past I'll briefly state that no, you don't get all the aggro. And in my experience the heal is not noticeable. I'd be specifically worried that an av would wipe all your pets in an aoe or two but I'm biased, I was really unimpressed with necro.

Thank you all for your input into theory crafting this build using some good resources and advice I've come together with a pretty build with stats im overly too overwhelmed to start sinking my teeth into.

brusier is amazing but no he does not have a taunt aura. He does footstomp and uppercut ppl for 500 though
