Lore Pets & End Drain

Posted

I was wondering if we had any information as to what lore pets do the best end drain, I have a sonic/electric/electric blaster has gone up the gravitic tree (and wow is that useful in a BAF) and I'd also like to round him out with a pet that also does end drain.

I'm assuming the storm elementals do. Is there any other pet that does reliable end drain? Is there a pet that does it better?

Also, where can I get a list of all the powers for the lore pets. Paragon wiki seems....lacking.

In game in the incarnate create tree right click on the power and the normal info window will appear. Then you can find the powers listed for each pet.

I haven't found Gravitic to be any more helpful on my Elec^3 Blaster, to be honest. End Drain in this game is already mostly pointless -- if you're already at the point where it can be somewhat useful it's not going to get any better, if you're not at that point you never will be, so don't bother.

The Storm Elementals use generic Electric Blasts, and one of them has Short Circuit, but good luck getting it to use it strategically the way you'd like.

Storm elementals do end-drain.
They also do a truckload of damage, and run out of end fairly rapidly.
I seriously have to feed them blues on my MM, but positioning them to do end drain... ...Is often as simple as telling them to go stand in the middle of the mob... ...Getting them to use it is another matter.

When I used Arachnos Heavy Blaster in RV for experience from longbow mobs, in order to get it to use Static Overload, I would march it into a longbow mob, then tell it to attack a target just outside melee range - 7-15 feet was my success margin, but 10 feet nearly guaranteed it would use it's PBAoE.

I wasn't TALKING about the end drain being useful. I was talking about the slows during the mindwashed run.

Thanks I hadn't noticed that before.

You know that phenomenon where you can figure out what a word is even if all the intermediate letters are switched around but the first and last letters are the same?

Pretty sure that's what happened there because I didn't see the BAF thing at all (combined with me remembering a thread from last week about the usefulness of End Drain). ADD ftl.
