SuperFerret

I'm familiar with Storm and Traps, and I've never been able to get them to work with past Masterminds (or in the case of Traps, at all). I might try them again with different strategies, or I might attempt something different and see if my playstyle can adapt.

I'm enjoying playing a Mastermind, especially now that I've figured out a way to control my pets in a way that works for me, but I'm not really too thrilled about the secondaries. Many of them seem to be for those who like to be constantly doing stuff like buffing and healing (two things that I've never been very good at).

Anyway, my question lies in my decision to make a Demon Summoner, and my liking of nearly every power in that set, particularly the whips, which work with my usual melee-focused playstyle. I guess I'd be more inclined to be a "tankermind", so having almost every Demon Summoning power, as well as powers from the Flight pool (or other travel pool), the Fitness pool, the Fighting pool and the Presence pool, leaves me with little space left for a secondary.

So which secondaries have the fewest "must haves", so I don't feel like I'm skipping something that's important?

Thanks in advance

As I've always said, I'd rather have a team with 8 One-Man-Armies working together than a team with 8 parts of a whole. Things just go better if everyone is self-sufficient, and one or two people dropping won't lead to a full team wipe.

I'll mark this on my calendar. 10pm EST is about 8pm Colorado time (I think it's Mountain Time, but I never cared to check). I've been looking for a new color scheme for one of my characters. Maybe red will work.

I have Bill from Arachnos. Poor guy slogged through level one hitting people with his gun because the higher ups didn't think he was worthy to be given bullets.

I don't like it.

"Grey" has always been my preferred spelling.

Thermidor, eh?

Fire/Ice or Ice/Fire or some combination of the two. I think an Ice/Thermal Controller would work best.

Perhaps (and this is just thinking thematically over game mechanically, as I often do) Mind Control is more common for Doms than it is for Controllers because evil Mind Controllers tend to have more fun.

Looking at the likes of Despero, Cassandra Nova, and Gorilla Grodd, it's obvious that their lack of morals gives them more freedom to mess with and/or outright destroy people's minds. While they may not be as powerful as Professor Xavier or the Martian Manhunter, they don't care about others, something that forces the heroic Mind Controllers to rein in their powers.

Just my two cents, of course.

It would be a nice addition to have a Stay means Stay command, but I'd likely never use it. I play my MM as a sort of controlled chaos creator.

Maybe Willpower is the tanking set for those who value their survivability, but don't like being in the main tanking role? It's a very Scrapper-ish set in my opinion, though it's one of my favorite tank sets.

Two main reasons. Firstly, tanks feel the most superheroic to me, and in a superhero game, that's of utmost importance (it's for this reason why most of my Blueside characters are melee, and why I never play blasters). Second, I've never liked one-shotting enemies all the time. Sure, it's fun once in a while, and can be hilarious, but I'm not having fun unless I'm going punch for punch with some big ugly monster or giant robot or something.


I do also occasionally enjoy playing the role of a tank, as opposed to just playing the AT, although (squishies beware) I don't assume responsibility for everyone's lives, and expect my teammates to be watching their own rears. Yes, I'll be taking the bulk of the aggro, but if I'm surrounded by ten guys, and you get killed by a stray that you pissed off, I'm not going out of my way to save you.

Makes me want to remake Bizotter, my evil SuperFerret from a world where Dracula took over the world with an army of vampiric superheroes.

Huzzah! Fluffy tail! I'll be buying this after all!

What's wrong with Frostfire?

DC has an Atlantis, Marvel has an Atlantis and a Lemuria, Champions has a Lemuria (I think), why can't CoH have something different?

The only powers that I'd say "kill" any set are the ones that are seen as absolutely necessary to get in order to be effective, whether or not those powers are necessary or not. One example is Granite Armor, Speed Boost is another, but even here, these powers aren't what "kills" the set, it's public opinion.
