Finally the new Lore Pets - What is your choice?

My carnie character is of course going with carnies - Dark ring mistess and senchal. Gonna be sweet!

Can you recolour the storms?

No recoloring the pets Xanatos which sucks.

I went with Romans for thematic reasons and they kick serious butt. I will be sad when they get nerfed for being too awesome. Do the other pets hit for 1200 points of damage occasionally? I don't believe so. I'll be sad when they get the nerfbat.

Went with carnies and created a pimp costume. They be my beeches.

Is there any pets that do fire damage?

Carnies will be my choice. I can finally haz dark ring mistress secks slave?

Ash and Beans will be keeping their Vikkis. Zhen and Rose are content with their big, stompy clockworks. Keiranen isn't giving up his Seers and Shade is perfectly happy with her IDF Ranger and Suzume is keeping her Commander.... But a few will be switching.

Pally and Ty both need Vanguard guys. Silver is getting Rularuu to push around. Kephren the siren is going for the Romans, Cholula the night widow needs that big, evil Arachnos Tarantula and Mist (my Peacebringer) is getting T4 radial Polar Lights... almost purely for decorative reasons. Blue wisps match him perfectly. Likewise Mei and the Nemesis. The only way they could possibly have suited her any better is if the Boss-pet had been a Fake instead of a Warhulk. XD

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with Kestrel... Neither her seers nor her clockwork really suit her, but none of the new ones are really better in the theme-department. If the Arachnos faction had included another Mu or if the storm elementals could be turned bright red instead of being mostly-purple, I'd have been set... But no such luck.

I thought Spirit Alpha helps to speeding up the recharge of the Lore Pets. It was not the case when I time mine last night. Did I get that wrong?

Does the Interface proc carry forward to the Lore Pets attacks?

Also, once we are allowed to colour the Lore Pets, the MM community will be screaming for pet customerisation once more - and louder too. I am not against it though. I have been wanting it for ages.


Edited: In terms of grinding, generally I don't like it much either. BUT so far, I am enjoying the trials. I think mostly is because I have 2 lv53 already and one more on its way. So I am now at the stage of enjoying being a 53. As far as I can see, those merits, threads and i-salvages are interchangeable one way or another. For my 53s, it really weren't that much of a trouble or grinding getting all those that I needed. That said, pushing to T4 does require a bit of grinding since you have to redo all the previous powers. Still, I am enjoying it so far. Too bad that there are not many Mo runs going around (in Virtue and Union). Like playing football, tennis, etc., it is always doing the same things: it's the people you are playing with that matters.

I might grind out for polar lights or rularuu for my fire demon blaster. I'm sad we didn't get cot demons as lore pets.

Four Incarnates in my stable:

Pastafarian Oracle keeps the Seers, hands down. Thematic.
Seschat, as an avatar of the goddess of libraries, is keeping her Vicky. (Embracing the information age and all that, plus likes someone stabby watching her back). She's a Storm/Mind defender (pre-dates Electrical Control), but the thought of pets with Hurricane scares me.
Emeraldine Bakafairy and Tempestuous Blue both have strong magical AND RWZ backstory elements. Vanguard mages for the win!
