This is a quick reference guide so that people starting a Robotics/Force Field Mastermind will not waste any powers or slots. This Mastermind build is not meant to do any damage, it leaves that task to its minions. Also this build is very good for PvP.

The main features of this build that makes it the only viable MM choice for PvP are:
A) The fly/stealth ability (can’t see you can’t hit you).
B) The ability to keep the enemy on his back with force bolt.
C) The ability to keep an enemy out of the battle with detention field.
D) Bots and bubbles have resistance to assassin’s attacks (which are brutal in PvP).
E) Bots prefer range which lets your Dispersion Bubble and Force Bubble to work at max efficiency.


LVL 1


Battle Drones
This is an obvious choice
Slot Accuracy

Force Bolt
Slot Accuracy

This is my most used power. I have a macro made so that I can turn on auto cast. With this power you can take out an enemy out of the fight until your bots can take him. Or you can use it to knock enemies off your bots so that they can use their range attacks (which are more powerful than their melee attack).

LVL 2


Deflection Shield
Slot Defense buff

LVL 3


Slot 2* Battle Drones
Accuracy
Damage

I am a big fan of slotting accuracy because it is like slotting damage. At this stage of the game I was missing 1 out of 4. With the extra accuracy it was like 1 out of 8 AKA 14% increase to damage.

LVL 4


Insulation Shield
Slot Defense buff

LVL 5


Slot 2*Force Bolt
Accuracy
Time Reduction

LVL 6


Equip Robot
Slot Endurance Reduction

LVL 7


Slot 2*Battle Drones
Damage
Damage

LVL 8


Hover
Slot Flight Speed

This power sucks and is only good for the end use of PvP. A better power for PvE would be Recall Friend. That way you could pull back your dying bot(s) so that another can take the heat, or you will have a better chance to protect him with force bolt.

LVL 9


Slot Battle Drones
Damage
Slot Force Bolt
Recharge Reduction

LVL 10


Detention Field
Slot Recharge Reduction

I love this power and so do my party members. You can effectively hold 2 enemies at bay now. Even better when you are attacking a boss you can bubble him. This is awesome because if they have the ability to heal others, you have now prevented this ability. The only problem is that other players are not always aware that you have bubbled an enemy. Set up a macro so that when you cast this it tells your team you have done so.

LVL 11


Slot Insulation Field
Defense buff
Slot Deflection Shield
Defense buff

LVL 12


Protector Bots
Slot Accuracy

LVL 13


Slot 2* Protector Bots
Accuracy
Damage

LVL 14


Fly
Slot Flight Speed

This is a decent travel ability for the bot MM, because the bots are auto equipped with jump. This means that they can keep up with you and you don’t need to spend the power points on group fly.

LVL 15


Slot 2* Protector Bots

LVL 16

LVL 20

LVL 21

Slot Personal Force Field

LVL 22


Grant Invisibility
Slot Defense Buff

Great, because now the bots have more defense if discovered.

LVL 23


Slot Dispersion Bubble
Defense buff
Slot Deflection Shield
Defense buff

LVL 24


Invisibility
Slot Recharge Reduction

Now you are a force in PvP. No more will a group try and kill you before your minions, because...they can’t find you.

After this point its just gravy. Key things to do are:
A) Make sure to six slot your Assault Bot
B) Get Upgrade Robot
C) Get Repulsion Bomb
D) Get Force Bubble

Note:
Don’t bother with Repulsion Field because Force Bubble does a better job. Also with this build getting Assault and Tactics is a waste because you are either invisible or have a Personal Force Field which prevent those abilities from working. Maybe now is the time to get Recall Friend.

For easy reference the above build looks like:

Battle Drones (6)
Accuracy, Accuracy, Damage, Damage, Damage, Damage
Force Bolt (4)

Deflection Shield (4)
Defense buff, Defense buff, Defense buff, Defense buff

hey so far this combo is awsome, im only lvl 14 but can wait to get 2 24 so i can PvP i only got 1 question i havent seen the PFF in action so i was wondering if it is a toggle or a click. People have said its a toggle, but it says on this site that its a click and also with the Dispersion bubble, if thats a togle like it says then it wont work for anybody else but u because the PFF cancels out all toggle powers to allies of course this wouldnt matter if Dispersion Bubble was a click. Thx a lot and i really lke my bot/FF MM hes on Infinity

pff is a toggle. Also when it comes on and Dispersion Bubble is out you can still see the huge bubble around everyone, but only you get the effect.
