Just zombies or all the undead pets??
Zombie.. just 5 slots. A mix of acc/damage and some -end recipes to get close to 95% damage and over 50% acc.
Grave Knight: I went with 3 acc/dam, 1 damage/end and one slow proc and +tohit debuff.
Lich: Like Grave Knights.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
My standard acc/dam slotting for pets after about L27 (when I can slot L30 IO's) is to frankenslot 3 L30+ acc/dam pet IO's and one L30+ dam IO. I usually use whatever I can get cheaply on the market. This gives you 60% accuracy and ED capped damage. That leaves up to 2 slots per pet for extra stuff.
Other than that it varies from pet to pet. I have a necro/pain MM right now who is L34, she has 5 slots in zombies and I currently have the sovereign right +resistance IO in the 5th slot. I will probably eventually move it to soul extraction. I have read that slotting a heal in zombies is useful after you get the second upgrade power so that is what I will probably put in there when I get around to moving things. There really isn't much else to slot in zombies since they only take pet sets and to hit debuff sets and there are no good proc's in to hit debuff sets. You could put some end reduction in a 6th slot if you can spare the slots although I don't remember my zombies running out of end very quickly. Alternatively if you can slot higher level IO's you could slot some acc/dam/end IO's - 2 x L40 acc/dam/end, 1x L40 Acc/Dam and 1x L40 dam will still give you 62% accuracy, 95% damage and 38% end reduction.
Now my grave knights have an achilles heel -def proc and a Touch of Lady Grey negative energy proc in thier 5th and 6th slots and I put a hold IO and end reduction IO in my lich as he DOES run through end pretty quickly.

Like most I enjoy Frankenslotted pets. Both my MM's have 6 slots devoted to the 3 pet tiers. My Zombie horde, and GraveKnights tend to look like 2 Acc/Dmg/End, 3 Acc/Dmg. Each of these holds a pet unique in the 6th slot. 97% acc/dmg, and about 40% end plus 1 special slot for something else. This slotting is also similar to how I went with my Genin/Jounin. The Lich is similar, but I have a to-hit debuff in there. Eventually I'll get the Lich more into a control set up when I can afford it. |

I have quite a sum of inf, but I cant yet afford purples, so please keep that in mind. Thank you! |
You get a lot of bang for your buck when you Frankenslot pets. Most of the bonuses aren't worth complete sets anyway.

HOs are great in Necro pets, especially the Lich. I've gone 2x Dam/Mez, 1x Acc/Mez, 1x Acc/Dam, 1x Tohit Debuff/End and the Smashing proc from the KB set.
Lich, imo, is not there to do damage. He is there to debuff and control. I'd recommend slotting to complement this.
You can also go for some defense bonus each full set of blood mandate gives you 3.8% ranged and 4.7% AOE. Thats 11.3 % ranged 14.1% AOE if you slot all 3 pets. May not be a lot but if you add in some other IO bonus or other defense powers it can add up. My final build for my necro/poison is around 25% ranged and 30% AOE.
Also try and get the 2 def Io & 2 res IO sets and slot in soul extraction. Im having to resort from pulling 2 from my higher level MM that I never play.
I may switch out sets for my lich for better debuff and control. I plan on using this character to solo AVs and GMs so I will go for a high defense + bodyguard + patron armor + tohit debuffs to survive.
Freedom Server - Main = Lil Bug & way too many alts to list
Different people like to slot different ways.
In Zombies I have:
Brilliant Leadership: Acc/Dam, Brilliant Leadership: Acc/Dam/End, Blood Mandate: Acc/Dam, Blood Mandate: Acc/Dam/End, Commanding Presence: Taunt/Placate Resist, Sovereign Right: Resistance Bonus
In Grave Knights I have:
Brilliant Leadership: Acc/Dam, Brilliant Leadership: Acc/Dam/End, Blood Mandate: Acc/Dam, Blood Mandate: Acc/Dam/End, Sovereign Right: Acc/Dam, Edict of the Master: Defense Bonus.
In the Lich I have:
Blood Mandate: Acc/End, Blood Mandate: Acc/Dam/End, Dark Watcher's: To-Hit Debuff/End, Dark Watcher's: To-Hit Debuff/Recharge/End, Dark Watcher's: To-Hit Debuff, Dark Watcher's: Chance for Recharge Slow
My Necro/ is also /Dark so I have Soul Extraction 5 slotted with RIP pieces and both RIP auras.
It works for me, YMMV.

Wow, HOs really are nice in there. Not sure about the KB proc though, won't that only trigger with Torrent? I'd personally go with more -ToHit, he can fairly rack it up with those cones of his (Fearsome Stare and Tentacles).|

I think at the moment in the mid 40s my Lich has mostly -ToHit & 2 -ToHit/Recharge (the recharge dates from before Castles nerfs to pet recharge
), an Acc IO and a Fear IO or two.

Yep, you're right Carni. I'm reluctant to get rid of it as it cost a lost of money, before I realised that Torrent was the only power with a KB component :P. Considering Dark Servant is slotted for -tohit on my Necro Dark, i'm not really short on the stuff, so i'm not desperate to swap. Your 6th slot though is pretty ideal, if you ask me |

It's really annoying that the Lich won't take Fear Sets. A Fear/Range & Acc/Fear would be so useful to him.

Dude, I have not even done one Hami Raid yet in CoV... I wouldn't even dare to come up a slotting like that.

This. It would also make him much, MUCH cheaper to slot well.
