Stratoman

+Rech, +HP, maybe melee def if you can. As far as what to run, Rikti > Nemesis in my opinion, and you can farm right off the bat. I am partial to Mu myself.

Here is what I currently farm with, it is in no way final, but I can manage relatively easy. Should be fairly inexpensive sans purples.

^i came for this

I've been working on a build for my blaster for a while, and I came up with this. First, I must say that I lurve Force Feedback procs, delicious. Mmmm.... The only real problem I can see is endurance, because +290% recharge seems like it will take a toll on the endurance bar, but that aside, I think this will make an excellent build come the defiance changes (today, yippee!!).

If you decide you want Force Mastery, you will be wanting Personal Force Field....

[ QUOTE ]
I reached 41 on my Master Mind and tested both Bile Spray and School of Sharks. I went into Mako's Master Mind PPP with an open mind but was very disenchanted after testing.

Bile Spray

I have to say I found this attack pretty sad and redundant. It is a cone attack that does Toxic damage up front and a few DoT ticks. It has no useful side effects like debuffs.

I thought the idea of APPs and PPPs was to give the archetype things it didn't already have? Every Master Mind primary set has an area effect damage attack. Mine is M30 Grenade, which is frankly better in all ways except damage type (better range, radius instead of cone, knockback side effect).

Most MMs never take their personal attacks anyway, relying instead on pet damage. Giving us not just another personal attack, but one so redundant with existing attacks in the primary set, makes no sense to me and was bad design. It's like giving Scrappers another low damage melee attack, or giving Controllers an Immobilize. Heck, even those would probably be more useful.

School of Sharks

Most of my above comments about Bile Spray also apply to School of Sharks. Both are cone attacks that deal damage, with some minor variations. The fact that they are so similar is also bad design... two cone attacks are not expanding my MM into new gameplay options like giving blasts and holds to ATs that don't normally get them.

That said, School of Sharks is still vastly superior to Bile Spray because it at least Immobilizes. The animation is cool for what it is (a bunch of glowy blue sharks). The recharge isn't bad. The duration, range, and damage are nothing to write home about. The fact that the target must be on the ground kind of hurts... spirit sharks can't 'swim' to a jumping or flying target? Guh?

Overall School of Sharks is a fun power to play with, but wholly unimpressive. Master Minds get Immobilize powers already (Web Grenade, Entangling Arrow) as do some henchmen (Spec Ops, Lich). This is, again, redundant with what we already have. Even though my FF MM can't normally Immobilize on demand, I will not be taking this power at any point because it's simply wishy washy and doesn't make me at all stronger in PVE or PVP.

Thoughts

Okay, so the art team has already put time into making these new powers and we are stuck with them. They overlap the existing sets of the AT so much and are so not what the average player would want, they will need a major power upgrade to be worthwhile. Unless I can look at Bile Spray and say "wow, that damage is awesome!" or School and say "wow, that's one nice immobilize!", they're completely skippable and all that programming time was a waste. Possible fixes: Reduce Bile Spray's damage and make it more of a debuff power (-res). Give School of Sharks -jump -fly.
