Purely for fun and mayhem - Pet Build

Hi,

I haven't seen many pet over DPS builds shown, so I wanted to make one, but how to balance the fun (mayhem) with actually being able to do something other than look cool in Alerts. I am wavering between different frameworks, Fear, TP, or maybe Infernal for the main framework to power the build leaving the pets to do what they do best, create the mayhem. :)

Here's my first attempt to build one from the Telepathy frame (Just to be different). I understand it won't have great DPS or Defense, it's more of a vanity build for fun. I tried to pick enough powers to do Offensive damage while the pets do their thing and going with AoED should help. I have a couple of powers to proc Sentinel Mastery for the pets and whoever else is running an Alert etc.. I also threw in a 100ft heal and a defensive circle as I conduct the mayhem.

Mindful Menagerie - Freeform (Support)

    Circle? Ego Hold!? Why those powers when you could grab 2 more pets! :D

    Summon Shadows could be- wait wtf you don't have Summon Nightmares on a TP pet build? o_O

    Okay so dump the circle and ego hold. Grab Summon Nightmares for darn sure, rank that to 3. Then grab Summon Shadows, with the healing advantage. Those are my suggestions. Also would suggest Commander Master over Sentinal Mastery.

    Oh and Ego Sleep... not sure why you got that, your own pets are gonna slap any mob you sleep right out of it. Dump that and get another pet! OR grab a Drain Life type power. Using those with the aoe heal advantages while standing in your swarm is a great way to ez mode heal them.​​

    Spinnytop, you're so funny. Since I don't have access to 350 SCR (??? really) to get Mind Drain with the AOE heal advantage, which would be best Life Drain from Darkness or Life Essence with the Advantage from Infernal? Neither really proc energy returns from Telepathic Reverberation.

    If you care about damage, Life Drain. If you want it only for healing, Life Essence. Other than that, just go with whichever one looks cooler.​​
