from what i recall fluffies carry over the buffs you have when they spawn. so they get some hasten, eclipse etc. for some of their life. |
eclipse doesn't carry over.

i'd assume hasten has no effect on them but whether it does or doesn't is irrelevant but it still shows up.
its kind of irrelevant from my point though

"nowt / naught" = nothing.
Recharge enhancements, IOs, and boosts are ineffective on pets and pseudo-pets.
Has this thread been linked in the suggestions forum yet? I haven't seen any dev posts here, and considering the amount of data and responses in this thread you'd think someone could pipe in at some point. Otherwise everything that this thread is about ultimately comes to nothing. (Except keeping further folk away from PB's)

Going tothe SI forum would be a bad idea. Most good ideas just fall down the post and get ignored over the stupid posts were people like to argue.

Good point, still, wish there was some recognition. I want to make my light squid not a purple kooshball flotilla.

Wanna play a Peacebringer? Don't believe the hype. Check out my guide and get the real truth:

Which does point to a reason to make and bring a PB along, for scenarios where the main issue is going to be hard targets (AVs, etc.). I've been on two TFs with my WS that failed in fact (1 STF, 1 Khan), because at the final AV fight I was basically just a Nova Form blaster, and the team still couldn't muster the dps/debuff combination to take down the final AV. Too dangerous to Mire frequently, and its not much of a buff on 1 or 2 targets, fluffies wore off. . .

Actually, I've had similar experiences on my Peacebringer. In the long, drawn-out fight situation where my team doesn't have the dps to bring down an AV quickly, even though my PB outdamages a WS, it's not enough to turn the tide. There's never been a time when this happens when I could say "I'm glad I brought a Peacebringer and not a Warshade," because my Peacebringer only did marginally better than a comparably kitted out Warshade.|

How do I know? My wife plays a comparably kitted out Warshade alongside my Peacebringer. Many's the time she's had me drooling with envy in large groups over what her Warshade and her "kooshball floatilla" could do, but the only thing she truly envies is light form's costume swap. That, and my dwarf tanks a little better than hers.

You should be able to mire safely off of those AVs... neither fire off their AOEs so fast that you can't flit in there. Just wait for them to use their aoe and then go in. Easy enough.|

Though really, the call is just whatever character you want to play. That's the way it always is: there is no needed AT (even if you feel like one tanky character on those TFs).
