thug/pain mastermind here, i have some questions about enhancing my pets.

When I slot endurance reduction and/or recharge reduction does it reduce the endurance/recharge for me to summon them or does it reduce the endurance/recharge of their powers?

Also if I slot gaussians chance for build up on my enforcers, will both of my enforcers be using that the same way a player with tactics/focused accuracy would.

End and recharge effect your access to the summon. Recharge no longer has an effect on your minions. But Endurance reduction does help them.

Build up is checked on a per minion basis. So if you put a chance to build up in your enforcers and it goes off, it will only boost that one enforcer, not both of them and not you.

Although some people have reported the soulbound allegiance proc triggering on their controller/dom/MM when they cast the summon. But that was a while ago and I don't know if it still happens.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

If the enhancement applies to the power (for example, Arsonist > Spit Fire accepts Endurance Reduction, Damage, and Accuracy), then the enhancement will help that power that the pet uses. If the power does not accept the enhancement (for example, Gang War's Posse does not accept Endurance Reduction), then that enhancement type will not affect that pet's power.

Recharge Reduction does not affect the power of any pet entity. This was a change to improve pet AI, as things got out of hand when they were affected by recharge buffs. As a bonus, they are no longer affected by recharge debuffs, either.

And as a nerf, since it was applied even to pets that had no AI problems from +recharge, like Lightning Cloud and Fire Imps, because they were supposedly overperforming.
