The DM secondary is very End friendly. I have a Bots/DM and I don't have the Fitness pool at all and he's currently at lvl 40. DM is one of the rare ones you can opt out of the Fitness pool. You can just slot an End Red in a power here and there and that seems to have worked for me. Now Poison on the other hand...will require the Fitness Pool and then some to help with the End problem.

RE: Thug Powers

Well, if i were you i would eventually respec out duel wield and empty clips since thugs get them both. On my robot mastermind i only got the necessary, which was battle drones, equip, protecter bots, assault bot, and upgrade. Now, im kind of experienced with DM, i do know that its a good powerset. Now with thugs id get call thugs, equip thug, call enforcer, gang war(its ok), call bruiser, and upgrade equipment, which i did on my thug mastermind, and hes pretty good at pwning. Well, this is my advice. And on both of my masterminds i didnt get stamina. And i do have a level 21 necro/DM mastermind, end cost is pretty low so i didnt get fitness.

Oh come now...who wouldn't like the idea of whipping out 2 (what looks like) Desert Eagle .44s and emptying the clips on both?????? Empty clip would be the only personal power selection out of the Thug set that I would take. It's a decent AoE attack that can help you out here and there. I'm not the type of MM that would totally rely on my Henchmen to do all the damage, I'll have to step in here and there and get my hands dirty too. Besides, what happens if your henchmen go down and the person you're fighting is down to their last slither of health, I'll tell you what to do..Whip out those .44s and have at it! That's what you do!

RE: Thug Powers

Meh, on my mastermind id just pop down a poison trap then a trip mine if all my henchmen were dead. Normally, when i start a battle i run up into the mob, pop down a poison trap which holds everyone, pop down a tripmine, bam, superior damage all the minions in the mob are dead, lieutenants are a half hp.

It affects "henchmen" only, and if you have multiple Thug MMs on a team, the leadership pools stack. You would have to carry the actual Leadership Pool for your teammates, sorry : (

EWWW! I made a Thug/Dark guy to 14 and he was awesome on the end situation...then i got Empty Clip...yea...not so much...it is basicly a cone Heavy Burst that takes a good chunk of end. Not worth it! MAYBE at a higher levels with some SO damage added to it(and stamina)might be a nice side attack. But at low levels i would highly recommend skiping this power.

ps. someone help me with the [/quote] thingy i kinda stink at it :)

RE: Thug Powers

Thanks for the great list of Thug powers. I don't equip my aronist, just upgrade him. If I equip arsonist, he runs into the mobs with fire breath and dies in 2 seconds. If only upgraded, he stands backs and hurls bombs and lives longer.
I agree with the post that said get rid of guns. The time you spend firing your pistols or emptying clips is time that could be spent fearing mobs, laying down tar patches and petrifying them. Pistols don't keep thugs health up, the dark miasma powers do.

You have one to many back slashes in your Quotes. There should only be 1 backslash and that is in the ending /QUOTE.

Oh, and to reply to the Empty Clips. It was never intended to do UBER damage (that's what the Thugs are for). Didn't any of you see Aliens???? You have to have something for those close encounters :)! Besides, I'm not the type of MM to standby and let the henchmen do all the work, I like to play as well, so grabbing Empty Clips and making a nice /bind with it is well worth having to me.

***picture this, you see a mob and you reach into your holsters and grab both of your .44s and then you yell at the top of your voice ...\"TAKE THIS YOU BEEOOOTTTCCHHEESSS!\"***

RE: Thug Powers

Yeah, Empty Clips does have some good things about it (For example I like how it's a cone)...but I think dual wield gets the job done a bit better than Empty Clips. Empty Clips just takes up way too much endurance.

RE: Thug Powers

I not particularly a fan of any mastermind attacks since you do around 40 damage with it on higher levels. I respeced out my patron cone attack because SO'd only did 59 damage, and its probably about the equal of all the other attacks.

I wouldn't skip ALL the attacks. You should always have one, and just one. You never know when you might need it.

Trust me Crackpot.... You never need one if your henchmen plow the road. However, if you consider Trip Mine an attack then you do.
