Best Lore pet for an Emp?

Hi Guys,

have been rerolling my 50 Emp/Energy troller throught the trials and am now ready to pick a Lore pet.

I really am team Heal and Buff centered (cause I got plenty of other alts for when I just want to smash things!) and would like to back this up with a decent support pet. Is there anything in the new lists of pets that heal and buff more than damage?

Not too worried about the pet per say, just what they do.

Thanks

You have so much support as an Ill/Emp I'd rather go for damage. Take a look at the video in my signature to see just how awesome damage pets can be with empathy buffs.

Hi guys and thanks for the responses

So, it looks like there are no non-damage based Lore pets, abeit some do have a bit of support stuff as secondary powers?

Bit disappointing, but at least I know which way to head now.

And yes, that will include a stop at my nearest Pylon

Cheers

All of the lore pets offer the following combos:

Core Branch: Boss Pet + LT pet, either combat LT or support only LT (no attacks)
Radial Branch: LT class attacker pet + LT class support pet w/attacks

The final pet options at the tier 4 level are:

1) Boss + LT combat pets, 15 min recharge, 5 minute duration. Basically same as Core branch but with damage boost
2) Boss + LT support pet, support has no attacks but cannot be attacked. 10 minute recharge with a 3.33 minute duration for boss and 5 minute duration on support.

All the lower tier pets have the same 15 minute recharge, 5 minute duration as the tier 4 combat pets. The lower recharge on the tier 4 support is supposed to give you more uptime on your support pet (50% uptime) with the same uptime on the boss pet as all the other options (33%).

The support pets generally have a heal of some kind and a buff of some kind, varies from pet to pet. There are some awesome support options (for example, the vanguard support pet gets twilight grasp and the storm elemental support pet gets hurricane) so while I would normally agree with Auroxis that an ill/emp controller probably wants mostly damage, you might want to check out the Boss + LT (support) combo. You definitely want to go with the Core path for the Boss pet though, they are extremely tough and do great damage.

You can examine the pet powers through the incarnate crafting interface without crafting them ahead of time. Just open the incarnate window, select the create tab, go down to the lore list, open up the pet you want to examine and right click on each power for that pet - the detailed info will have stats on the pets and thier powers. You also check out how all the pets look at the tailor - in the powers customization section all pets are included under the lore tab.
