Lore Pet (Support)

Before you pick which of the new Lore pets you want, make sure you look through the abilities the support pets get. Some of them are insane!

Arachnos gets Mind Link. (5% tohit/5% defense in all areas, 30sec duration, 1m20sec recharge)
Carnival get Forgue. (20% tohit/15% damage, 1m duration, 1m recharge)
Phantoms get Adrenalin Boost. (400% recovery/250% regeneration/50% rechcharge, 1m15sec duration, 4m20sec recharge) (enough to cast it a second time before they despawn)
Polar Lights get Assault. (7.5% damage)
Rikti get Radiation Emission (107 aoe heal, 16s recharge) and Accelerate Metabolism instead of a single target heal. (10% damage/15% recharge/recovery, 1m duration, 4m recharge) (2 uses)
Rularuu get an AOE ally targeting 50% damage buff that lasts 30 seconds. (4m recharge) (2 uses)
Storm Elementals get Hurricane. (30% tohit debuff)
Vanguard also gets Assault (7.5% damage), but they get Twilight's Grasp too instead of a single target heal. (238 aoe heal (x2?)/-50% regen/-5% tohit/-10% damage, 12s recharge)

Cimorians, Longbow and Nemesis, get an AoE heal along with their single target heal. (107 heal, 16s recharge)

Imagine Hurricane on an ally that can't be hit by enemy attacks.

Make sure you check the recharge on those buffs. Some of them are really good but don't go off that frequently. For example, I believe the Rularuu buff gets applied twice in 5 minutes.

Thank you for posting this. Very helpful.

The one thing I'm not sure on, is the Vanguard support pet's Twilights Grasp. The tool-tip says it heals for 238 twice, but that seems too good to be true compared to the other AoE heals, even if it does require a tohit check.
