had to go with Storm Elemental pets they work much better with my characters theme. They don't look like normal storms so I just think of them as cosmic storms, still trying to figure out all they can do I see lighting blast and a lighting aura but not sure what else they do yet.

Look at the video in my signature and compare the time it takes for Vicky's attacks to recharge with the time they are supposed to recharge(8s for lasers, 6s for cross cut, 4s for swipe).
Applying Adrenalin Boost to Vicky made my time about 50% faster.

They look more or less like the guys from Phantom Army. IIRC, the boss is a standard male, the attack lieutenant is a Huge male, and I'm guessing the support lieutenant is female, though I never messed with the radial tree, so I'm not totally sure on that one. The costumes are a little different, though; instead of whites and blues, they're gray and darker gray. And like all Lore pets they have that Reflections aura going on.

Huh. I wouldn't have expected Lore pets to be the sole exception, but if they are, they are.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

I think the Corpse pets are an exception too (Extract Essence and Soul Extraction) - they even inherit Hasten from the caster.

Saw a Spine/Dark scrapper last night with the Rularuu eyeball lore pet. Thematically, they are a GREAT fit together....both big spiny blobs.

As I understand it, they inherit it, they aren't buffed by it. All pets' powers got the Strength of Will treatment. This is the first I've heard, for that matter, that Lore pets are an exception to that.

Actually shade should be much happier with the IDF Ranger. The AI bugginess was supposedly fixed so they will actually cycle their attacks instead of standing around doing nothing using one attack over and over and over and over ignoring all the rest they have available. And htey got a recharge reduction plus damage boost. =)

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

I only ran a total of 6 pylon runs to test it out, 3 with AB on Vicky and 3 without. The times were consistently better with AB by around 50%, but with only that small number of tests it's not definite.|

Though looking at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lDETnhPs1o
You can definitely see a difference with AB on and off.

For Adeon I'm going to be (eventually) replacing his Seers with Robotic Drones. I had a decent explanation for the Seers but the Robotic Drones fit in much better in terms of theme. I was hoping that the Vanguard option would have a HVAS but alas it was not to be.
For my Crab Spider I'll be going with Arachnos since it meshes well with his "Arachnos Assault Squad Leader" build (he has all three spider pets and Omega Maneuver).

Eeeeentehresting. Still, if it does work, you might want to speak too loudly about it unless/until a dev says that it's WAI, because I'm pretty sure the idea originally was to turn off recharge buffs on all pets (granted, Lore didn't exist then, so it could be an exception, but I think they'd advertise it as such if it was intentionally built in that way).

In parallel with the other thread about lore pets, I just looked over at the carnies on paragonwiki and wow, I surely am disappointed.

In what way are you disappointed? How they look? Performance versus other pets?|

Explain?

I haven't tested them yet, but it just doesn't have the same 'oh cool' feeling the others have (well, the 'look' is probably good, if you forget about the strongman). Is forge permanent? I mistook the Ring Mistress as losing a power if you went with Radial and, well, the other options just seem to have some more goodies. -DEF and assault, notably, instead of knockbacks and a single target buff.|

But like I said, I 'looked over at paragonwiki'. I'm basing this on what's written there.
I took robotic drones, they seem pretty weak, but they look pretty cool and simple.
damn my Demon/Traps MM being level 4...oh well, still got plenty of time to decide on Carnies or Rularuu for her 
Picked up Longbow on my Fire/Thermal. Yay for them actually staying in range when they attack. Now I can rush into melee and tank while they blast away 
Also the Cataphract is pretty sick. All big, and mean, and red and white like my costume.. also has some nice AoE grenade attacks that Fire Rain seems to love :3

Is there a website that has pictures of the new Lore pets?
Go to the tailor to see the pets. granted you can only see them running in and from the side/back but you get the idea of what each looks like.

I lol'ed hard with this because when I read the post about making the Carnies his bishes I thought 'hey cool idea'
