"Perma" Lore pets?
No, the system won't allow you to slot another lore enhancement or even upgrade the one you have while it is recharging.
Those darn Devs seem to think of all the ways to ruin our fun.
All joking aside even if this "loophole" did currently exist I'm sure it'd be nerfed ASAP...

On the other hand, even if it did exist, you have to be out of combat for 5 minutes before changing an incarnate power, so in order to exploit such a loophole, you've have to never fight and never gain aggro.

I still wish the Lore pets had less downtime. Ten minutes seems pretty long to me for an Incarnate power.

i love my lore pets, but i hate the long downtime so i tend to wait to use it till they will be the most helpful (such as BAF escapee phase)

Some of the Lore pets CAN'T die. They are invulnerable, like Phantom Army. That's probably why those are not perma...and to create parity across the tree, none of the rest are perma.

another thing to consider is that if YOU die your pets also die, so if you summon them and get wiped by something, then you have to wait even longer for them to recharge, so i think a 5-10 min rech is better than 15 with 10+ minutes downtime
with them currently being down more than up, it feels so lackluster for incarnate power (not compared to interface in any way, but you dont get to use it as much, so its kinda meh), my point being i get to use judgement every 90 sec for massive dmg, i get to use destiny for buffage every 120 sec, interface is always active but almost worthless as it is, and lore is awesome while its up, but uptime is so much less than downtime it feels i hardly ever get to use it

Re:Invulnerable Support Pets. Got my tier 3 Seeker Invul. Thursday night. Tested it today -oops - now yesterday (ie: test on Friday) at +4 x8 in an AE ambush mish. The Lt. went down instantly of course, but the Buffer spent 5 min. with 16 mobs wailing away on her, while keeping me buffed with enough extra defense to avoid cascasde failure without insp. That was one of several factors that let me complete that particular mission at +4 with Defense Debuffing Bosses for the first time. The fight lasted over 15 minutes so I was able to use her twice. I would say having a pet that gives you a 5 minute breather to wipe out many dozens of enemies and collect a full tray of fresh insp. is pretty great support, at least for my toon (a tank.)
I also greatly enjoyed the Monsterous amount of damage adds from the Reactive Interface as ALL my attacks have at least some DoT and every tic had a 50% chance for extra damage.
A Tier 3 Judgement Pyronic (with more DoT) was also very useful.
The ability to back up my self heal with Destiny Rebirth was the final part of the new equation.
I don't think I would have succeded with out ALL 4.
So like any good build coordinating your new powers to work together with your existing strengths is pretty important.
One writer in another thread who also does not need or want a buffer said to think of the lore Pet summon as a 5 min nuke with a 10 min cool down. He was extolling the joy of the Warworks Vicky Boss. People are reporting soloing AV and other stuff with her that they could not possibly attempt before. So if you are unhappy with your Lore, perhaps you just need to find the right pet combo for your AT/Build. If your Interface is almost useless as it is, perhaps you need a different flavor of Interface.
I kmow I am trying to think outside the box on these new powers and plan on getting a few extra Tier 3 just to see what can happen with different mixes.

Let's say I summon the pets from Warworks. After the fixed 5 minutes, they will expire. Would it be possible to unslot Warworks for Clockwork so you can have another set of pets out for another 5 min duration and so on and so on?
