The PPPs are not counted in the 4 Pool Power limit. So your choices will not keep you from your Patron's powers. I have a question, why 2 travel power pools? I know you may need the Recall Friend for your henchmen and maybe TP Foe to thin out mobs...what are you actually going to use as a travel power? SJ or TP? Just seems like SJ would be overkill, maybe you can take another pool or something...just my thought

Yes, I am only going to get Tp Foe and Tp Friend, than get Combat Jumping and Super Jump. Then get Hurdle, Health, Stamina. Then Aid other/self to help out my medic with healing. I was also trying to get the basic Merc Powers, no attacks, and work on getting as many traps as possible.
But I need to kick one of the pool sets to make room for traps. Any thoughts on which one???

I wouldn't really bother getting Detonator...some like it, but I never did. And from what I've heard, Poison Trap is a really really bad power
If you would have to swap a pool power, I'd say The Medicine one. The Medic does a pretty good job of healing your other pets. Besides, you'd need your travel power, and you'd need stamina (Since MMs run out of end a lot buffing and summoning your pets)
By the way, I have noticed one thing while doing a mission with my pets using TP friend...if your pet runs off and doesn't come back to you for a really long time, and you try tping them back to you, they will just run back off into Glitchworld. Thanks to some of the Patch Updates, the pets don't get stuck as easlily, and if one does, you can always just dismiss it and resummon it. I wouldn't waste a power on recall friend. Teleport Foe however is great. Since you have caltrops, you can just teleport them onto the caltrops, as your pets attack them. (Great method for pvp too)

I found there was no need for fitness on my MM. True you need a rest inbetween summoning and gearing up your minions but how often does your whole squad get wiped? I went with medicine (heal other), flight (Hover, fly and groupfly), Leadership and concealment (grant invis and invis) for ambushes. Ive really never had end problems with him.

I don't know about Invis and I always get SJ, its my favorite Travel Power. I am also trying to squeeze in Aid Other/Self. I am considering dropping TP and Fitness, except MAYBE get Hurdle cause it really does help a lot with SJ and CJ.

That all sounds like a good idea...except I disagree with Klaw, I think Stamina is very useful for an MM.

Detonator is only good if you know how to use it right, and i do. Poison trap is bad in the poison set, however it is a fantastic power in the traps set. The poison trap from poison holds, sleeps, and -endurances. The trap one, however, holds, -regen, choke, and vomits. So simply put take it. Combined with trip mine poison trap is a great crowd controller However, you will NOT! need fitness for a trap mastermind. Unless you run up and get constantely interupted by using trip mine then you wont have any endurance problems... Oddly as it seems, i took the exact same powers as the other mastermind since flights been greatly improved and bots look awesome with group fly.

Ok I submited the build, it should post up shortly....
I took, Leaping, Leadership, Medicine(Aid Other) and im trying to squeeze in Fitness.
I think that Aid Other can actually be dropped, but then I think it shouldn't. I know that Fitness will just be nice to have so I am getting it, plus, Hurdle REALLY helps with Leaping pool. All I can say is I can't wait till 24 to respec. =P

The detonator is probably the worst power in the entire set...No matter how you use it.

Eh...I don't really like how you skipped the whole fitness pool. Especially Stamina. Also, you'll need one attack power like Burst or Slug...

I have a lvl 42 Mercs/traps and i feel the best power pools are...teleport, leadership, medicine, and invis
Teleport = tping enemys into a bed full of traps...Priceless
-tp foe
-teleport
Leadership = It really helps...alot
-all but vengence
Medicine = If you can heal yourself, you can live.
-aid self
-aid other
Invisibility = Grant Invis will hide your traps! And if they cant see you, they cant kill you.
-grant invis
-invis
Patron Powers = You already have hold and immobilize powers
-Just get the shield
