Masterminds & Incarnate Powers

Hello,
Long time player coming back from a pre-Going Rogue hiatus. I had some questions concerning the Incarnate system as it relates to Masterminds.

Does the universal Recharge Rate buff from the Spiritual enhancement in the Alpha Slot affect Mastermind henchmen (or maybe just the recharge of the summon power)? I know typically the summon powers do not accept them but this eliminates an entire option of Alpha slot for MM's if it doesn't apply...

Along the same line, do the Interface slot procs go off from henchmen attacks?

Interface definitely works, and even the lame ones are decent on MMs due to ease of stacking.

Spiritual does not affect pet attack rate at all (no buffs should affect this either). It may affect pet recharge rate, but that's never bee an issue for me so I've never looked into it.

The pet powers get no benefit form the Recharge portion of Spiritual. Pets themselves do not benefit from any recharge bonuses (for AI reasons) and since the pet powers cannot take generic recharge the Alpha does not benefit them either.

That doesn't make spiritual useless, most MMs have at least some long recharge powers in their secondary that will benefit from it.

Yes they do.

Do any of the Alpha Slot powers work on your pets? I took Musculature for some additional damage on my Bots but i never see the lil red icon beside them in there buff/debuffs lists.

Weird... I see my Cardiac in the buff list...

I hope this doesn't come across as an insult to you, but did you makes sure that you equipped the Musculature after you created it? (plz don't be insulted )

No worries guys. Your incarnate abilities will indeed affect your pets.

Make sure in your pet window that the arrow is clicked to show their buffs, and make sure that their Auto Powers are not hidden. If your pets are locked, I don't believe it will show up, if so, just use /releasepets and resummon them.

However, even if you can't see the abilities on there, as long as you have them equipped, they will affect your pets
