Patron pets


Cynic

This is a bit premature but I've lifted this from the US forum for Dominators, a breakdown of powers for the 4th tier pets. I've added to the Toxic Tarantula after jabbing one around in Warburg. The claw attacks are pretty strong so that one hit will take out nearly 50% of my health and it can make both attacks pretty close together. the downside seems to be slow movement speed and it's easily immobilised, it can't use the melee attacks at range.

I'm not that keen on pets and of course these may not be the same powers that the Patron pets have or have different strengths, but the pets do look like the strongest part of the patron powers. Mako and GW look quite a bit weaker pet-wise.

Mu Guardian - Boss (Scirocco)
Lightning Bolt: high energy & end drain, moderate range
Resistance: resistance
Lightning Armor: res fire, cold, nrg, neg nrg
Lightning Blast: extreme energy dmg, accurate, -end debuff
Cage of Lightning: minor nrg, stun, hold, mod range
Flight
Static Discharge: mod nrg (aoe), -end debuff
Shocking Bolt: nrg, hold
Touch of the Storm: Heal other
EM Pulse: same as the trick arrow/blaster version I presume
Sentinel of Lightning: a pet with a pbaoe nrg dmg toggle, can fly
Ball Lightning: high nrg, end drain & slow recovery


Toxic Tarantula - Boss (Black Scorpion)
Armored Exoskeleton: Resistance
Cocoon(ranged): Hold
Venom Burst(ranged): Toxic DoT, -def debuff, slow, low damage
Claw Pierce(melee): lethal, toxic, high damage
Toxic Claws(melee): lethal, toxic, high damage
Web Spitter(ranged): immob, -Recharge, -Fly


Coralax Blue Hybrid - Lt (Captain Mako)
Resistance: cold
Vulnerable: fire
Heavy Brawl: heavy smash
Urchin Spray - mod lethal
Spiny Urchins: minor lethal
Wave of Cold: cold dot, slow


Fortunata Seer - Lt (Ghost Widow)
Mental Blast: Moderate Psionic & Slow
Psionic Lance: long range, accurate, extreme psi dmg, slow
Mind Link: (AoE) +acc +perception buff, resist confusion
Subdue: high psi, mod immob & smash
Mental Training: resistance

Wow, if they really get all the powers, Mu Guardian is going to be one awesome pet. It seems unlikely that the Coralax in particular would be as much weaker as it looks, though.

I had a Mu Guardian "pet" in a mission and it did heal me. Can't recall what else it used, unfortunately.

Yes somehow I doubt that the pet mu will get all the boss powers.

About as silly as Phantasm from Illusion control I think.

I would think the powers for the pet versions would be much the same, but the rank for all would be "pet", and that would mean different hp, end, accuracy and resistances.


I really should do something about this signature.

Yup, the coralax looks a bit rubbish based on that!

anyone know if Subdue prevents knockback/down, or if its like a dark imob?

They were appropriately appalled

They're now putting it all together.

with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

Finally a post that raises an issue I was asking about!

Was wondering how pets measured up between the AT's, I was worried that all the Brute pets had minion names!

A minion level pet is going to last 2 seconds running into a spawn of +2/3/4/5's

I'm guessing they will all be 'Pet' status with similar HP/Power levels etc...The names and looks will be cosmetic...

(Here's hoping hehe...corruptors seem to get nearly all Boss pets, while Brutes/Stalkers are minions and Doms are a mix )

I thought every AT gets 2 bosses & 2 Lts (?), not that I've looked too closely; either way it looks like Scirocco or Black Scorpion for me. I've been the target of Tornado recently, and if Water Spout is the same it's no that great a power, I have a feeling Shark Skin is going to be pretty low benefit as well, a shame because Chum Spray looks nice

I've realised Mu Mastery does fit with my Batcow toon after all >hyuk hyuk<. If the Toxic Tarantula is anything like the NPC it's doing as much damage as an En/En blapper does, anyways, enough idle speculation for me.
