Question on IOs and Henchmen/Pets

End reduction affects both the pet's powers and the cost to summon the pet.
I'm not sure exactly about set IO end reduction. I've read someone saying on the MM board that pet damage set IOs with end reduction don't reduce the cost of the Ember demon's heals. I think they *should* always reduce all power's endurance usage, but sometimes they're buggy and don't reduce every power they should.
Also, if you put a proc IO in a pet, the proc will only work in powers that could take that kind of proc. Example: A hold proc will only proc from pet powers that cause a hold, slow procs only proc from powers with a slow, def debuff procs only proc from powers with a def debuff.

Hmmmm. Thanks. I was wondering because a couple of my demons burn through endurance, and now I have a Dark Servant. Dark Servants take IOs from different sets, and a lot of their powers have a to-hit (the heal, to-hit debuff, fear, root, etc.) If the accuracy from a set piece only affects the power that uses that set, then I have to make sure to slot additional accuracy. That's just one example.

I'm coming back after a while, and I can't remember how IOs affect pets. For instance, let's say I have a henchmen that takes Pet Damage, Slow, and Hold IO sets.
If I slot an Endurance Reduction enhancement, then all of their powers use less endurance, besides me using less endurance to actually summon the pet, right?
If I put in a Hold/EndRed IO from a set, will that only reduce the endurance cost of the holds, or will it also reduce the endurance cost of the non-hold powers the henchman uses?
I've been trying to remember, but it's been a while.
