Lore Pets: some simple and some complex suggestions

I am slapping my head after working so hard on a Warwork for my Robotics MM, now that I can get another Assault Robot. I had a few thoughts in the direction of pets I'd like to see Lore enhancements for. I start with the simple and get to the complex.

FIR BOLG
CORE: 3 Streng
RADIAL: 3-10 Soldiers, 1-3 Guardians, 1 Streng

ORANBEGA DEMONS
CORE: Behemoth Overlord and Succubus
RADIAL: Behemoth Overlord and Spectral Daemon Lord

NECROMANCY
CORE: Nightmare (you know, from the Zombie Apocalypse-- just one)
RADIAL: Zombie (minion), summons 5-10 randomly, a zombie 'Gang War'

THUGS
CORE: Enforcer and a Bruiser
RADIAL: Enforcer and two Beaters (new, Thug-like minions of moderate strength who use a chain whip with a good chance of causing knockdown and moderate damage and can possibly cause a DOT Hold)

NINJAS
CORE: Shinobi (a Ninja version of a Tsoo Sorceror, Japanese instead of Chinese, who uses an animation similar to the Ninja training animation for his Heals, and Miasma instead of Storm Summoning) and a Kunoichi (female Ninja, basically a redressed KoA in all her caltrop-stacking glory)
RADIAL: A pair of gun-wielding Genin, wearing black-on-black Stealth-set clothes instead of ancient Ninja garb; one has AR with a Snipe instead of a AS attack, the other is DP with Executioner's Shot

MERCENARIES
CORE: Commando and Demolitions Expert (just a simple military redress of a Thugs Arsonist)
RADIAL: Commando + Medic

You realize that so far, the dev's have made it so that you only get one boss and one lieutenant class for Core? And Radial gets the same (except the LT is untouchable). So...the whole two bosses, several LT's/minions/etc probably won't happen.

And an Elite boss? Hahahahah.

Hmmmm... are all the new Lore's the same with an untouchable LT? No wonder the options were so specific. I'll have to see what else I can come up with. Thanks for the input!

All Lore sets follow the same basic structure. There's one Lieutenant Pet, one Boss pet, and one Support pet (forget if it's minion or lieutenant rank, but whatever). Depending on where you are in the tree, you'll get different combinations of those three, and different buffs on some (though you'll never have more than two of the three at once). With that in mind, coming up with new sets isn't that hard. Just need to come up with three pets... plus decide what/how the Support pet is buffing (or debuffing). Of course, there IS the issue of balance. The devs want all the Lore sets to be (roughly) the same level of power, so one set isn't clearly better than the rest.


With all of that said, we're not likely to be getting any more Lore sets soon. While it COULD happen sometime in the future, it probably won't be for a while. Other Incarnate powers need love too. And of course adding in new sets like Hybrid, Genesis, etc...
