Do Set Bonuses Applie to Pets?

My Necro/Pain MM hit level 30 last night is is rolling along well. I've started to plan for some IO sets in him and wanted to see if IO Set bonuses (+9% Acc, -5% rechg, etc.) apply to pets, or just to my character. This would greatly affect my slotting for powers in anticipation for IO Sets.

Thanks.

As a general rule no. There are however, five exceptions to this rule.

I highly suggest useing as many as you can.

I received an "Achilles Heel-Chance for Resistance Debuff" slotted in Grave Knight and a "Kismet-6% Accuracy Unique" slotted in Maneuvers. I received both through dumb luck.

Are these not doing anything for my pets then, just for my character (who only uses Gloom as an attack)?

I'm going to /respec for the inherent Fitness anyway, so should I place the Achilles Heel and Kismet somewhere else, send to another of my alts, or sell them because they're not really doing much of anything?

Sory. Let me rephrase most procks work on pets (but not the +recharge ones pets can't be affected by + recharge no matter where it comes from) IDK how Kesmit is interacting with Maneuvers. I would right click on your pets look at their combat attributes turn on Maneuvers wait 10-15 seconds and then recheck. But the other benefits set bonuses do not affect pets just procks. Also the procks only work on pet attacks that have that attribute.

For example a merk MM has 5 blood mandates and 1 Achilles heel - resist slotted in his soldiers. He summons and upgrades them, attacks a spawn, medic rushes forward and uses frag grenade. Now that frag grenade has no -def component to it so it will never set off the prock. Another solider uses full auto. Full auto has a -def component so it has a chance of setting off the prock and lowering the resistance of the mobs.

These 5 aren't set bonuses.

Set bonuses only affect you, and not(annoyingly) your pets. I originally slotted my MM for as much Damage bonus as I could.

I think i said that. But those Enchments do list their effects in the same space as the other bonuses (that only affect you the MM) it would be easy to overlook and not every one knows about those. I felt it was worth pointing out.

So will my Achilles Tendon-Chance for Res Debuff, slotted in Grave Knights, have a chance to work on when all my pets attack, or just when I attack?

It will have a chance to go off when ever your grave knights attack with a power that has a -def component. You see your pets have a power bar just like you do.
