Since my MM is getting up there in levels, I thought I'd start considering what patron powers to get. I was originally thinking Black Scorpion, but Web Grenades don't seem too...evil. Plus they don't do anything except hold people. Boring. Then I saw Ghost Widow's powers, and was interested, especially in Soul Storm. (Whats better than a storm of souls? Nothing. That's what. Well...Except pie...) Anyway, I require any and all information you have on MM patron powers. Give me the information I want, and my robots won't kill you. Well, they still will, just maybe faster and less painful. Maybe. Probably not though.

Well I have a necro/dark mm and i love ghost widows set. The animations are awesome(especially for Soul storm). And it fits perfectly into my build, but im not sure how itll work with bots
Thats just my 2 cents so take them as you want to

Well, I may not have any experience with patron powers (no lvl 41 vills yet) but if you are Bots/Traps or Bots/FF then the def buff from Scorpion Shield, Dispertion Bubble or FF Generator, and your Protector Bots all stack nicely. According to Mids, they can total up to give you around 48& defense to SL, 41% to Energ, and about 27% to everything else including Psy. Thats better than Energy Aura gives Stalks and Brutes. Just something to consider...

For an MM, all four sets basically go:
- Attack
- Toggle Shield
- Group Immobilise (lvl 44, need 1 other patron power)
- Single Foe Hold (lvl 47, need 2 other patron powers)
The order may change a bit, not sure there, but they're all comparable in terms of recharge times, protections, end cost, range, etc. Black Scorpions shield is different in as much as it gives a defense bonus, instead of damage resistance. Also his hold disables fly, jumping, etc, so another useful consideration. Scirocco's powers have a little endurance drain effect on them, Ghost Widows do some damage. Really for an MM, I don't think there's *that* much difference. From a practical perspective, BS' powers are probably a little *better* but that's only for the extra effects. Beyond that, choose what suits your character best really. I'm /dark so went with GW, to keep with the shadowy theme :)

I agree with KG, they each have their own benefits. GW gives -acc, Scirocco does some endurance draining, Scorpion does the -Fly/SJ, and slow, and Mako is just damage with toxic, negative and lethal.
I beleive you're MM is robot/dark from one of your screenies. I'd say for theme, Scirocco could fit the tech side, GW for the dark side. On my ninja/poison, I took scorpion. The web envelope keeps the enemies from moving (tho they weren't moving fast tobegin with) off the caltrops and out of the rain of fire. Plus all the slows really helps me regen any damage I take without needing to pop my own green skittles.

With my bot/trap MM I went with Scirroco for 2 reasons, first it seemed to suit her background and style and second i like to pvp with her and while i did respec out the holds from the patron pool (i barely used them) I kept the armour as it resists smashing, lethal and energy attacks, 3 of the most used attack types in pvp.
It is best to sit down in the end and think about what you want to use the powers for as choosing a patron is permanent. I guess you should look at all your powers to work out the best one to support those.
