Pet Slotting Questions

When you slot stuff like recharge or endurance reduction into a pet power, does that affect your pet's powers or just the recharge and endurance cost of the summoning power?

You can't actually slot recharge reduction into pets. But endurance reduction reduces both the cost of summoning minions, and the cost of the minions powers.

All right then, thanks.

Edit: Wait, if you can't slot pets for recharge why is there recharge in Soulbound Allegiance?

Recharge affects how often you can resummon the pets. it wont affect how often their powers recharge.


53 Bots/FF/Mace Mastermind | 53 NRG/FF/Electricity Defender | 50 Time/Dual Pistols/Soul Defender | 50 Demons/FF/Mace Mastermind | 51 Necro/Dark/Soul Mastermind | 50 Thugs/Time/Mace Mastermind | 50 Ice/Ice/Arctic Tanker | 50 Plant/Rad/Earth Controller | 50 Illusion/Trick Arrow Controller | 50 Gravity/Force Field Controller
Yes, I like Force Fields.

Pet powers ignore any recharge benefits, both enhancements and buffs.

The Recharge used to affect both how quickly the Summon Power recharged AND the recharge time of any Pet Power which could take that Enhancement. So for example sticking -ToHit/Recharge IOs into a Lich or Dark Servant made rather a lot of their powers recharge quicker : Frankenslotting Dark Servant with as many of these as you could meant it was trivial to make him perma, max out his -ToHit and have the happy side effect of increasing how often quite a few of his powers recharged (the Heal & Tentacles for example).


Unhappily that's been stopped now, pets basically ignore Recharge Buffs / Debuffs entirely. The only exception I've heard of is the Lore Pets which apparently can benefit from Recharge Buffs, but they can't be slotted anyway (which probably explains it).

Very useful information, thanks.

Another question popped up, though the answer might be pretty obvious. I noticed my Summon Demon power is getting 62% to damage and also 62% to resist damage even though I only have damage enhancements in it (some of which are out of date and I'm working on replacing). Are the damage enhancements on that just split between the two stats? And how will that affect the hellfire gargoyle? I didn't think he got any resistance powers.

That's a known display bug with the Resistance, they aren't really getting 62 resistance from the damage at all, the numbers are just being misleading.
