What bonuses do pets inherit?

When summoning mastermind pets, what set/IO bonuses do pets inherent (if any)?

Some specific ones I would love to know about before assembling: set defense bonuses, Steadfast's unique defense, the Gladiator unique defense

Thanks for any help,
Aramar

No set bonuses.

In fact, I don't think regular pets inherrit any buffs. The one exception would be the Alpha buff, as that works as if it is one or more enhancements.

Definitely none of those. Here's the one's I can think of:

Thanks for the replies, all. That was what I was expecting, but I wanted to confirm.

I could be wrong, but techincally those don't transfer to your pets - they instead bestow a power on you, granting you an aura for the pets - it's at least Supremacy range.

Also any procs (such as the one in soulbound, or Achillies heal) will work for pets, but only powers that take those sets (so the -Res proc only works on defense debuff powers)

This is correct.

Also, the text on the Aura Buff IOs for pet sets is wrong - the range is, as Rajani said, at least as wide as Supremacy (they say it's shorter), and the resist ones do provide Psi resist.


@Draeth Darkstar
Virtue [Heroes, Roleplay], Freedom [Villains], Exalted [All Sides, Roleplay]
Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

And the nice thing is, they stack. And work on non-mastermind ATs as well. So if you can effectively slot +20% resistance, and +10% defense for your pets with only 4 slots, which can add a lot of survival to your pets even on the durable ones like Animate Stone and Jack Frost.

Well, they only work on your own pets, which can make it a little tricky for some MMs to pull off as not all have a RIP-set pet to sneak them in on.

While true, any combination of thugs/ dark/ demon/ and /storm can benefit from them. Thats a pretty extensive list. Also any controller with a pet can benefit from both of the auras, due to all the controller pets being able to slot normal pet sets, and RIP sets.

Im also pretty sure i forgot some of the MM combinations, and i swear there is another secondary that can slot RIP slots besides /storm.

Dark? I think you mean Necromancy (Extract Soul take RIP)

RIP sets are a form of damage enhancement, and thus Fluffy doesn't take them.
