So with the new power (storm summoning) being added to the mastermind secondary set. My altitus has started to act up again....ive tried all the creams and what not but nothing seems to help. Point of the story is what is the best set that goes with storm?
I have already played a Bot to level 33 and i Loved it. But i really dont like replaying sets. Also if i choose a range set then my hurricane will only be affective if I run into melee while my pets sit back and unload on the baddies. (BORING) I feel like im thier B*tch.
If i choose a melee set then they can run in with me and it would feel more like a 'team' as aposed to me playing baddie bowling wit hurricane. I know with baddies being thrown all over it would seriously mess with a melee'ers AI. But I would have a set "goto-Agressive" bind.
So if i stay melee i got two options:
Ninja:Which i love the concept (Tub Ci's, leader of the tsoo, brother) Also I think Oni's Rain of fire and freezing rain would mess very well. Also with the jounin's holds/confuse would be a good mix. Also he would be PVP compatible with Grant invis for the ninjas (stacked with steamy mist) and i would be runnning Fly with the steath IO and steamy mist...so my entire army would be undetectible......kinda like ninjas :)
Zombies: i dont see a theme as easy but i LOVE the Lich's holds stack with storms Freezing rain and Snow storm.
The zombies would be getting the same "goto" bind as the ninja so they shouldnt run around that bad. Also the zombies have toxic and neg which is resisted less.
Those are the two major sets i would like to play. But if I HAD to choose a ranged set it would go in this order (Bot/Thug/Merc). I guess what im trying to say is, "Which of the two sets would be a better sync?" IF i had to i guess i could see myself playing a ranged/Storm build but i would much rather play a melee set. Anyone have any imput on either set? Please and thank you.

You must not have read my topic, because if you had, you would have created Necro's based Only on the fact that lich's are hella badass.
Seriously have you made it yet?
Theme ... you got till I12 to make a backstory for the theme ...
Ninja would also work i guess ... but uggg, from what i've played of them ... it feels like there your younger brother that you got to drag to a hockey game, to me it seems that the ninja's only want to be by yourside unless you tell 'em not to be .... BINDS 4 LIFE!

Weirdest darn thing, I was just thinkging about this exact same this this afternoon! O.o
Well, as I waited for the bell to ring to end school for the day and let me out for spring break (woot!) I was wondering about this and here's what I'm thinkin: Ninjas or Bots. Ninjas make an awesome concept toon and as said before leads into awesome combos (Freezing Rain and Rain of Fire, Steamy Mist and Grant Invis etc). However, all the knockback (and trust me, there is PLENTY of knockback!) would screw with the ninja's melee. Only the Oni would be able to hit them as they fly around like a plastic bag during a storm. The rest would just run around trying to keep up. Seems like a major flaw...
Then theres bots. All ranged and they have more knockback. Now I too have a Bots MM and wouldn't want to replay the whole set again, but it looks like a solid combo. A pure KB, damage mitigation build. All the bot's lasers, Tornado, Lightning Storm, Gale, and Hurricane will keep them flying around and not attacking me and my pets while the bots blast em away. Sounds like an awesome little experiment to me. However, what possible concept would involve Bot/Storm?? I'm drawing up blanks...
So, overall, Ninjas seem kinda good mainly for concept with a few flaws involving knockback. Bots would have a knockback invasion but would be hard to make a concept for. Thats what I'm thinkin...
Heroes:
Spectral Storm, lvl 50 Illusion/Storm
Powerlevel Man, lvl 50 Fire/Kin
Rider of the Flames, lvl 26 Fire/Fire Blaster
Sound Barrier, lvl 24 FF/Sonic
Cap'n Ghostbeard, lvl 24 DB/Regen
K'zilix, lvl 12 WS
And, lvl 8 Invuln/Fire
Villains:
Lt. Surge, lvl 40 Elec/Stone
Skull Cyborg, lvl 29 Bots/Traps
And various other lowbies...

heh. I agree Lich is one of the baddest looking henchmen there is. But the look doesnt bother me as much. I think the zombies would be doing a ton of longrange vomiting with all the knockback that i would be dishing out. Also if i ran a bot/ff i would be a cookie cutter mastermind for i12. Man it sucks cause i know bot/storm will be so good but everyone and thier dog will have one. (the freezing rain/snow storm/incendiary missles combo would kill!) I think i see some zombie/storm themes but i dont want it stolen :P

Ninja/Storm- Tsoo anyone?
I am personally a Thugs kinda guy, so I will be testing the waters there.
I have seen the Lich in action and I have to agree... its scary.

Yep, my earlier post to Mzzkc, begging for a continuation of his Killer Ninja guide(s) was in preparation for Ninja/Storm already reserved the name and everything lol... "Arashi-ne-Naramasu"
Closest bot generated translation I could find for "The Storm is coming" :-P
If anyone out there is more knowledgeable than the stupid Babblefish translator program I am open for correction.
Knockback "can" be a problem, but Ninja's close faster than any other minion out there so I see it more as a smack and catch up as you land proposition. If you like neat and tidy Ninja storm probably won't be for you... If however you like the idea of bodies flying everywhere (and *I* do) it looks to be another challenging but rewarding combo.

I agree totally. Since ninjas are one of the fastest base henchmen they can easily catch up to that knockedback baddie. But there the real problem begins, If you knock a baddie into another mob and some dumb/reckless ninja runs in after him starts a chain reaction that ends in you yelling "mommy, save me!" Thats why ranged is better but bots being (IMO) the best ranged sucks. (dont wanna reroll)

I was thinking of something along these lines as well. I may look into it further once it comes out. Right now Im all about Thugs.

Shhh!
You weren't supposed to tell them!
It was gonna be a surprise. . .
Well, I guess the fact that I haven't rolled Bots yet and everyone else has will help me stick it out longer.
As for concept, there really isn't one. Ninjas is the only set that work well with Storm concept-wise.
But, yeah. The brutes and stalkers are gonna hate me. ^.^
