Dom Pets question (applies to MMs too i guess)

ok so, i dont have access to anyone in-game atm whom could tell me the answer ot this question, it should be able to be expressed as a yes/no answer, but we'll see

Endurance Reduction IOs in regards to Pet powers such as Animate Stone/Jack Frost/Flytrap etc even MM pets: do Endurance Reduction IOs do anything iwth Pet Powers other htan reduce the END use for SUMMONING the Pet? i want to know because i recently got an Earth/Earth Dom to 32 and the Animated Stone pet, while strong defensively, drains its END pretty fast with its half-the-normal recharge Seismic Smash attack which drains a high amonut of END but has half the Recharge time of any Player-Usable Seismic Smash power

so, do END Redux IOs effect the Attack/Defense Powers of pets or is it just the Summoning Cost?

They are supposed to reduce the end cost of a pet's attacks. I have heard rumors that this is bugged for some pets but it's hard to actually verify.

hmmm....i know one way i can test that out i guess at least for MMs, time to get my Demon MM to 32 lol, i have another lvl 35 Demon MM but i stupidly decided to transfer her during that period of Free Server Transfers prior to Going Rogue release, so i dont currently have a lvl 32 Demon MM on the server i regularly play on, but for Demon MMs, i would need the lvl 32 Upgrade power to really test this

i know ive never slotted a Pet Summon power with END Redux, but i do know before i moved my old Demon MM over to virtue that her Demon prince with both Upgrades applied went thru END faster than anything ive seen short of my Dark/Kin Corruptor before got Stamina and END Redux IOs

ill definitly test this, if i see a noticable difference in the Demon Prince's END Usage then ill know its at least not bugged for Demons, ill have to try it out on my other MMs and Doms

ok, just did a test with the lvl 32 Demon/Pain MM i moved to virtue, i bought 3 lvl 35 Magic-Origin END Redux SOs (Power of Grey i think it was called) and did 2 tests, one before slotting them into Demon Prince and going into combat, then once more after slotting the END Redux, results:

before slotting the 3 SO 35's, the Demon Prince with both the lvl 6 and lvl 32 Upgrade powers drained down to critically low END in about 30-40 seconds, when i did the test again WITH the END Redux, he never even went to or below 4/5ths of his Max END for about 3 minutes of fighting before i stopped observing the results of the test

in the 2nd part of the test he was using so much less END while attacking that he could Recover most of it by natural Recovery Rate while still in combat, of course 3 SO 35s did likely hard/soft-cap his END Redux % as each SO gave 38.3% Redux

It's my understanding the End reduction from Pet Damage sets isn't properly reducing Pet's endurance cost for its powers. The Demon Prince is bugged in this way. Generic End reduction IO's and SO's work as they should.
