I know that that Chance for Buildup applies to all of their powers, but how about something like negative energy damage from the Touch of Lady Grey defense debuff set? All of their powers, or only the ones that alter defense?

Slotting: Invention Enhancement Sets
[...]
However, there are two issues to be aware of with Set Slotting into Henchmen Summons. The first is that the type of set slotted denotes the type of powers that the enhancement set will be applied to. For example, a Pet Damage Set will not be applied to the Protector Bot's Repair power or the Ember Demon's Abyssal Mending (this includes the Endurance Reduction portion of a set). Affected henchman powers can be checked for on City of Data (click on the henches power, and check the enhancement icons, top right)
Unknown. It shouldn't work to extend the range of henchmen attacks as (again) most of the powers (if not all) are not flagged to accept range enhancement.

I tested this in PvP some months back, and it worked. In PvE, though, I really don't see the point of slotting them with Centriole Hamo-Os seeing as how all the pets like to run into melee range for no reason anyway.
Also - unrelated question - would I achieve anything by slotting Dam/Range Hami-o's in my pets? Would it simply enhance the cast range of the ability, or would it extend to increase the range & radius of their cone attacks? |

Ahh, TY TY.. while I did read your guide, I was guilty of trying to pick out info on the procs, rather than sets as a whole... very informative!

Basically, you can "force" the added bonuses of a hami-o into powers that don't typically accept that type of enhancement.. such as putting a centriole into a damaging power, OR a power with range which does not traditionally accept damages. (But I digress on that point...)
My thinking is because they're... Range (And thus, Arc!.. sort of..) enhancements! The pets are stupid and don't position themselves properly to hit as many targets as they could.. so hey, I'll give em some help! This should apply to several melee attacks as well, which are the main ones I'm looking to enhance.

Hey - recently dusted off my MM.. looking into slotting options, and I never really thought about it before, but what happens in regards to procs inside of your pets?
I know that that Chance for Buildup applies to all of their powers, but how about something like negative energy damage from the Touch of Lady Grey defense debuff set? All of their powers, or only the ones that alter defense?
Please forgive me if this has been discussed before (I'm sure it has..) but I dug around through search results and some guides and was unable to find the answer.
