i do not believe it does. and if it did, it would only last for the 5.25 sec duration when you cast the pets. i really think it is a bad io to be in a pet set actually.

I can verify that the build up proc has a chance to happen every time the pet attacks for every target your pet hits. Both my warshade's fluffy and my assbot have seen it doublestacked.|

PA is unaffected by pretty much everything, though, so I don't know if it will affect them.
Where to now?

Yes, the Chance for Build Up works in Phantom Army. PA is only affected by buffs slotted in the power itself -- slot Damage enhancement, and you get more damage. The Chance for Build Up has a chance to hit for each attack, so with three PA attacking, it can hit quite a bit. However, it only affects the non-spectral damage. The part of PA's damage that heals back after a few seconds is not affected by the proc.
This is why my recommended slotting for PA in my guide is 4 Expediant Reinforcement, plus the Dam/Rech and Chance for Build Up from Soulbound. Take a look at my guide -- link in my sig.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

good to know. i wasn't sure and was hoping my answer would spark up someone who did.
5 slot PA(with soulbound) save yourself a slot and still keep the good bonuses.
or go with A rech/intensive set and get a bonus for you phantasm

Slot it that way and you won't have nearly enough Recharge. Slot it my way, and you get capped Damage and Recharge, good accuracy and that Chance for Build Up. -- if you want to save a slot, leave off the chance for build up.|

The Resistance Proc in Expedient Reinforcement provides minimal benefit for an Illusionist's Phantasm, since Phantasm generally stays back, casts his Decoy in melee and then attacks from range. That proc mostly benefits Earth and Gravity pets, who already have high resistance.

Thx for the reply, much as I hoped it would be.
Can the phantom army affect itself with this proc? I know it is not affected by other buffs, but this could possibly work, I just want to check.
If it does not work, I guess the proc should go in the Phantasm; ought to be better than Chance of Damage from Explosive Strike, right?
