Pet enhancement question

Why do damage procs on my Gargoyle (Summon Demons) cap out at 55% instead of 95%, according to the in-game stats? Are those stats wrong, or is there some pet mechanic I'm unaware of? Actually, I'm sure there are many pet mechanics I'm unaware of - is this one of them?

I assume you mean damage enhancements rather than damage procs. It's a display bug. It has to do with the fact that the power takes both Damage and Resist Damage enhancements. Resist Damage enhancements have an ED cap of approximately 55%, and the display incorrectly shows the Damage enhancement as capping at that amount as well. You should be receiving the full amount of Damage enhancement even though it doesn't display properly. The bug has been around since they added the powerset.

TwilightsRequiem is quite right. You are not crazy. This bug came with the Demon set. This question reappears just about every time the latest thread sinks to about the 3rd page of the Mastermind forums. This needs to be stickied.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

Thanks guys. I did indeed mean enhancements. Mastermind slotting is definitely tricky. Apparently the pet IO's don't apply to all the pet powers, either. For instance, am I correct that end redux in Blood Mandate won't reduce the end use of all powers used by pet demons?

Sets will only work on pet powers appropriate to the set. Pet damage sets only help pet powers that do damage, so the endurance portion of a Blood Mandate Damage/Endurance won't affect the Demon's healing power. And a healing set heal/end wouldn't help the pet's attacks. I assume that a Hami-O would work with all of a pet's powers, but haven't tried it.

This is quite true which is why of six slots in demon prince I have four Pacing of the Turtle which includes accuracy, damage, endurance redux, and slow enhancement features. Most everything that the Demon Prince does has a slow component
