This is somewhat true. All Pet buffs which are adding abilities to the pets (lvl 6 and lvl 32 in the primary sets) will not be improved by the enhancements the pet itself have.
This is considered a bug and will be fixed soon with a test if this will not cause an imbalance.

Ok, time to put on my Newb cap...

Tell me if youre talking about the equip bot's/train ninja or whatever its called, and not the battledrones/oni and so forth. IF the former is true then I have just wasted 6 slots on my battle drones.

Also added 6 slots to the Battledrones and the 6th one is worthless right now, exception if you dont plan on taking Tactics.

The Enhancements which you slot into the Pet directly should also effect the upgraded Powers from Upgrade Robot but right now this is not the case. Maybe they fix it, maybe not .. all the balancing was done with this bug in place and they want to do some serious testing first on the test server to see if it unbalances the MM Class (nothing to worry about imho )

So what you're saying is enhancements work for your pets basic abilities but NOT for any powers they gain from being upgraded?
Makes sense, the enhancements are in the pet not the equip and the pet doesnt have those abilities when its summoned.

Damn, just wasted a heal enh in my prot bot. Still got my drones 5 slotted, I dont see that its a waste, their basic abilities sstill get the boost.

Ok... If I understand correctly, then the drone them selves(sp?) get the upgrade put into them, that is their slot, such as enhc dam or accu and what not. But dont get the stuff put in the Equip bot skill. That does not really change anything for me then, if thats the problem, *phew*

So taking the example of Robotics and the skills "Battle Drones" and "Equip Robot" you're saying the basic punch and blast of "Battle Drones" are affected by Dmg/Acc etc. in the "Battle Drones" skill.

But Dmg/Acc in "Battle Drones" does not effect the Sniper attack which is given to you by the "Equip Robot" skill?

So only base abilities of Robots can be enhanced, not ones that are grafted on?

I've been over on the US boards and can confirm the above.

All the abilities your pets start with are enhanced. Those you graft on with a further power are not affected by enhancements in the pet summon ability.

So no point in putting Heal enhancement in your Protector Bot as its heal is granted by the equip power.

Hmm... somewhat of a let down. But still gives me some clues as what to upgrade my bots with then. Thanks Panimu.
