Just make sure you fit the two uniques in there for recharge intensive pets. After that, frankenslot as much recharge, acc, and damage as you can. Priority in that order.

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
3 Recharges, 1 Acc, and proc to your delight is my suggestion.
Gang War is a one-of-a-kind power. It looks like damage, but it's really taunt. The best taunts need accuracy. This taunting cloud of minions absorbs tons of aggro and negates the nastiest alpha strikes.

This is more or less what I was trying to say. Recharge is more important than accuracy, which is more important than damage. Damage helps the taunt in that a high damage target moves up the aggro list faster, but really? You need to connect first. And you want this up as often as possible, so recharge should be the primary focus.|

I still maintain that you should try to fit the uniques that won't go in your other pets. That's an extra 5% defense and 10% resist all. Maybe not much, but on top of everything else, it's amazing.

Well yes, that's the idea. But you can fit the other two into thugs and bruiser without having to totally gimp Gang War.|

My pain dom side was speaking there. Had no reason to put accuracy in Gang War in my build, especially with all the stuff going towards helping them to hit enemies anyways.

I intended to show my agreement and emphasize the areas we agreed on, not to show anyone up. We can line up 10 parallel gospels on the merits of Gang War to encourage optimization. I couldn't begin to count how many times I was urgently staring at the gang war icon so that I could activate it in tight bloody battles, so that the tide would turn.

I knew you couldn't resist a reply, heh. But yeah, Gang War can easily be shortened down to a respectable time with proper recharge bonuses and hasten. Really, your little meat shields of doom are up often enough to get you out of a sticky situation unless you're the player who runs into unfortunate accidents every 3-5mins (guilty as charged).

Expedient Reinforcement: 10% resistance
Edict of the Master: 5% defense
Soverign Right: 10% resistance
I'm so glad that they allowed for Soul Extraction to take recharge intensive pet sets recently.

Any insight is welcome. ~ Roman |
1 - Nucleolus Exposure (Hamidon)
1 - Soulbound Allegiance (Damage/Recharge)
1 - Soulbound Allegiance (Accuracy/Damage/Recharge)
1 - Soulbound Allegiance (Accuracy/Recharge)
1 - Call to Arms Defense Bonus Aura IO
1 - Expedient Reinforcement Resist Bonus Aura IO
Final Power Stats:
90.05% Accuracy
90.05% Damage
89.92% Recharge
In my Thugs/Poison Build Gang War has a 184.7 second (3 mins, 4.7 seconds) recharge (with Hasten).
This slotting also gives you 16% Regeneration and a 3% Health Increase from Purple Set Bonuses, and in all of the playing with slottable enhancements that I've done in Gang War, this is the most solid slotting I could come up with.
I slotted my Gang War with:
+1 Recharge IO
+1 Accuracy IO
+4 Damage IO
Gang War, IMO, can give high DMG Output so I can take anyone out easy and still control Mobs at a degree.
