i am a NJN/DARK and just bought this enhancement.

Now i need to choose where to put it and my choose was for
1- tier 1 PET
2- tier 2 PET
3- dark servant

i tought abt dark servant because he uses many powers that last for long time on enemy and does a lot of thick on it so i tought that the chance for the proc wasa higher.

Also i primary wonna PVP with it and i have slotted DARK servant with 2 accuracy and 2 -to hit debuff with 2 free slots, i was thinking of putting in 1 achille's heel and sunno what the other one could be, need help. tnx

Erm, Achilles Heel is a Defense Debuff IO, so it can't go into Dark Servant.

My favourite frankenslotting set-up for DS is Dampened Spirits -ToHit/Recharge, -Dampened Spirits ToHit/Recharge/End, a Dark Watchers Despair -ToHit/Recharge and DWD ToHit/Rech/End. That should get your -ToHit and Recharge over 90%, making him perma if you've got hasten.

The last two slots Acc & Acc for PvP I reckon, Acc & Heal for PvE.

Achille's heel is defence debuff, so i say grave knights. Once they go into melee, afaik all their attacks have -def.

Dampened Spirits, arent they going like 10mil each?

He's Ninja, not Necromancy (but Achilles Heels in Knights is great).

I certainly didn't spend 10 mill a pop on them anyway and I've got them slotted in DS and the Lich (soon to be removed again).

If they are now 10 mill a pop then cha-ching, I must respec ASAP.

I an NJN.
Whats the meaning of "defensive debuff"? that it proc when the pet that have been slotted is being attacked?

Btw in which NJN pet should i put it? And why it won't work on Dark servant?

tnx

No, Achilles Heel belongs to the Defense Debuff set of IOs. So it will only go into powers which accept Defense Debuff Enhancements. Dark Servant does not accept Defense Debuff Enhancements since none of his power debuff an enemies defense.

In terms of which pet to slot it looking at City of Data the Tier Ones don't do any Defense Debuffs either and don't accept them.

So the process of elimination says the Jounins since they're the only ones who can actually slot it.

Only on powers that have -defence debuff.

But, afaik, all sword attacks of the jounin have -defence, based on katana scrapper that is, but that would be the same.

You can see the debuff as little orange triangles hovering around the mob. Like you pop a resist insperation (the orange one), but only the triangles go downwards.

Jounin are indeed a good place to slot this proc, speaking from experience.

Tnx for all the infos guys, i really appreciated it. Last but not least, will TAR patch -30% res and Achille's heel -20% res STACK achieving -50% res on a mob/player?

Tar Patch + Jounin slicing/dicing -Res should stack together yes. At least it appears to on my Thugs/Traps.

From what I gather the pets will only apply once despite the various -Def moves they have, but they can extend that one application so you have longer lasting -Res.
