Ninja // Dark Mastermind 

I've been playing this character for a few days and just got him to lv.12. This combo is awesome. The ninjas do good damage and then combined with the -res (from Tar Patch) I can solo missions with ease. At the low levels this is a very efficient combination (the only thing I don't like is how small the radius of Twilight Grasp is but i can't do anything about that). I just wanna know if it will be as good at the higher levels. Heres the build that I hope to follow, please give me any advice because this is the first MM that I have played and enjoyed:

Lv.1 - Call Genin (2 acc., 3 dam.)
- Twilight Grasp (2 acc., 3 heal, 1 rech.)
Lv.2 - Tar Patch (3 rech.)
Lv.4 - Darkest Night (2 end. red., 3 -to hit)
Lv.6 - Train Ninjas (1 end. red.)
Lv.8 - Swift (1 run)
Lv.10 - Combat Jumping (1 end. red.)
lv.12 - Call Jounin (2 acc., 3 dam., 1 slow)
Lv.14 - Super Jump (2 jump)
Lv.16 - Health (1 heal)
Lv.18 - Smoke Flash (2 acc.)
Lv.20 - Stamina (3 end. mod.)
Lv.22 - Fearsome Stare (2 acc., 2 fear, 2 rech.)
Lv.24 - Shadow Fall (2 end. red., 3 res. dam.)
Lv.26 - Oni (2 acc., 3 dam., 1 hold)
Lv.28 - Assault (2 end. red.)
Lv.30 - Tactics (2 end. red., 2 +to hit)
Lv.32 - Kuji In Zen (1 end. red., 1 rech.)
Lv.35 - Howling Twilight (3 rech., 3 disorient)
Lv.38 - Dark Servant (3 rech., 1 acc., 2 -to hit)
Lv.41 - Dark Embrace (2 end. red., 3 res. dam.)
Lv.44 - Soul Tentacles (1 acc., 1 immob., 1 end. red., 1 rech.)
Lv.47 - Soul Storm (1 acc., 2 rech., 1 hold)
Lv.49 - Petrifying Gaze (2 acc, 1 rech, 1 hold)

Im not sure about the Patron Pool. I just took Ghost Widow because the dark powers fit my theme. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mase

RE: Ninja // Dark Mastermind 

Well, Dark Miasma is one of if not the best Secondary for a MM. It provides a lot of -Acc debuffs and even has some -Dam as well. That secondary gets better and better and when you hit 38, you'll get your Dark Servant. DS will help out with heals and debuffs as well, only down side (if you want to call it that..) is he can't be commanded...but it's not that bad, because he pretty much follows you every where you go.

Ninjas, can't speak on it as i only have a low level one that i was playing around with, but with DM as a Secondary, the -Def of Tar Patch and -Acc of everything else will help this melee set. Just remember to take Darkest Night if you don't have it already and Howling Twilight....one of the best debuff powers in the game (it's more than just a group rez...trust me on this one).

RE: Ninja // Dark Mastermind 

I would preferably take black scorpian for the shield or scirroco for end drain over ghost widow, but i guess when your killin the enemy so fast it doesnt really matter, i'ld also delay fitness a bit for howling, becuase fitness isn't as much of a "must have" as it is for all the character at's



PvP Addict-
Epsilon Assassin 50 Spines/Regen Stalker
Winters-Fury 50 Ice/Kinetics Corruptor
EpsiIon Assassin 43 EM/Nin Stalker
Shivering Fire 41 Fire/Cold Corruptor
Sneaky Lightning XX Elec/Nin Stalker

R.I.P. Stalkers in PvP
R.I.P. Villains in PvP
R.I.P. CoX Zone PvP

Hamidon Green Mitos with Spammable Absorb Pain with no HP drain, Yellow Mitos with spammable Rad Debuffs, Blue Mitos with Spammable Thunderous Blasts, Hamidon with Spammable Inferno and Dull Pain.

Its all the above posters fault, always! or maybe its T.V.'s Fault?

No. Soul Mastery is amazing and he should get it just for the hold. Fitness is a must have as early as possible because dark makes your endurance die incredibly quickly.

I know Ninja/DM MMs inside and out simply because I've been messing with mine since before I even had my account.

You're build is fine except for the slotting. Not enough IOs for my taste. I'd give you mine, but I don't feel like digging it out right now. Also, don't get smoke flash. Your henchmen are too stupid to know how to use it. Take Pet gaze there instead. I don't care what you get at 49 anything is fine at that point.



How do you keep an idiot busy? (see bottom of sig)

Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver.
