Some advice on my Necro/DM MM? 

I'm really hoping to find a way to put hasten into this build because it takes so long for all his powers to recharge and it would make equipping at the beginning so much faster.

Here's what I have so far (roughly):

Name: N/A
Level: 50
Archetype: Mastermind
Primary: Necromancy
Secondary: Dark Miasma

01 => Twilight Grasp ==> Empty(1)
01 => Zombie Horde ==> Empty(1)
02 => Dark Blast ==> Empty(2)
04 => Tar Patch ==> Empty(4)
06 => Enchant Undead ==> Empty(6)
08 => Hover ==> Empty(8)
10 => Darkest Night ==> Empty(10)
12 => Grave Knight ==> Empty(12)
14 => Fly ==> Empty(14)
16 => Shadow Fall ==> Empty(16)
18 => Recall Friend ==> Empty(18)
20 => Soul Extraction ==> Empty(20)
22 => Howling Twilight ==> Empty(22)
24 => Fearsome Stare ==> Empty(24)
26 => Assault ==> Empty(26)
28 => Lich ==> Empty(28)
30 => Tactics ==> Empty(30)
32 => Dark Empowerment ==> Empty(32)
35 => Vengeance ==> Empty(35)
38 => Dark Servant ==> Empty(38)
41 => Night Fall ==> Empty(41)
44 => Dark Embrace ==> Empty(44)
47 => Soul Tentacles ==> Empty(47)
49 => Soul Storm ==> Empty(49)
+---------------------------------------------
01 => Sprint ==> Empty(1)
01 => Brawl ==> Empty(1)
02 => Rest ==> Empty(1)

I have been waffling about vengenece but after the ITF yesterday, I learned how very, very good it can be. I dropped maneuvers because I already have shadow fall and it's bonuses are better anyway.

I'd love to find a way to get Petrifying Gaze in there too because it would stack with Soul Storm for holds right?
I was thinking of dropping Dark Blast and going pure pet for damage, but that still won't give me hasten AND PG.

I could drop hover/fly and just take TP, but I need some kind of fly since he's my main badge hunter.

As for recall friend, I don't see getting around playing a dark MM without it. Besides wanting it so I can TP my second account lowbies around, it's great for piling people together for Howling Twilight or recovering a body for Vengence.

You see my dilema?

Alright, I just wrote an extensive post detailing what you need to look at, but then lost it due to my own stupidity.

Long story short, you need to create a focus first. What is it you intend to accomplish with your MM? (I.E. Damage/Debuff/Healer, Damage/Debuff/Buff, Damage/Debuff/Support, Damage/Debuff/Control, etc. [as Zombie/DM you're pretty much locked into doing Damage and Debuffing]) And you can't say "everything" because that's what the problem is right now.

Answer that and I'll be able to whip up a nice build for you incorporating everything you'll need and even some things you want (if they'll fit).

Yeah. . . I hope that sums it up.

I went ahead and redid it last night. I dropped dark blast and took hasten instead, but the real benefit was reorganizing the powers and reslotting everything. I had 3 slots in each equipment power (2 recharge, one endurance), but I changed it to just two on the idea that hasten will cover the recharge for the other two slots.

This and some other changes gave me the ability to fully slot my Ghost (which I had neglected previously with only 3 slots). I think that perhaps I haven't been giving the ghost it's full due and now that he's slotted to the max, he'll become a much larger asset.
