Seeking advice on slotting Dark Servant

How do people slot Fluffy? I currently have him frankenslotted with IO's from hold, immob, and to-hit debuff sets. But looking at him from the enhancement management window, it looks like he might already be all set with accuracy (2.0x base), slotting recharge is really just a convenience (to bring him back if he goes down during a tough fight), and slotting endurance also isn't that useful (because you don't invoke the power that often).

I'm now starting to think I should just slot straight-up IO's... maybe 2 holds, 2 immobs, 1 to-hit debuff, and 1 healing. Or one each of hold, immob, to-hit debuff, and healing, then 2 frankenslots for that useful bit of recharge and/or end.

What are other people's thoughts?

Thanks!

Try Dark Watcher's Despair; you'll enjoy the shiny bonuses. Fluffy can be enhanced in so many ways, and this set covers quite a few of them.

Apart from the misleading 2.0 listed accuracy, there's another weird quirk with pets and IO sets - each enhancement only benefits any of the pet's powers that could slot that set type. So, for example, enhancements from cloud senses (an accurate tohit debuff set) shouldn't boost the tohit debuff in his aura, despite the fact that the set enhances tohit debuff, since his aura is an autohit power that doesn't accept accuracy sets. Similarly, an enhancement from an accurate healing set won't boost the accuracy of his tenebrous tentacles, since they don't heal.

For this reason, I think it's best to slot him with straight tohit debuff sets. Debuffing tohit is what he's best at, and a normal tohit debuff set will benefit all of his powers apart from the hold. Then, add some generic accuracy IOs on top of that, since they actually work for all of his different powers that need to hit. My own personal slotting would be 4 dark watcher's despair and 2 generic accuracy enhancements.

I agree with the dark watcher's despair or even dampened spirits for maximum end, tohit debuff, and recharge buffing. The bonuses aren't shabby either. Remember, everything fluffy does includes a tohit debuff (except maybe the hold). Buffing Chill of the Night should be a dark defender's priority.

I went with 5 slotting Siphon Insight and the damage proc from Clouded Senses. If it goes across everything, clouded sense should effect pretty much everything but the hold. If not, then it'll effect the AoE tentacles and heal, which still isn't bad. Same goes for the bonus to To-hit debuff from Siphon. It's a Tankish build Dark/Elec Defender, but I've not noticed fluffy's endurance drop like a ton of bricks. Granted, I also don't play him that often...
