Interface on MM's

So I have read on a few different posts that pets aren't benefiting from reactive DoT procs. I have a Demon/Time and am about to craft my T4 interface and am wondering would it benefit me more to got 75% Res and 25% DoT or the 75% DoT and 25% Res. Any suggestions would be helpful since I don't want to waste a very rare on a interface that wont help out as much as the other.

Yeah, I'd go for the DoT option. Much more potent in the long run. Amazing on my Thugs/Therm both against enemies and theme wise. Absolutely adore it. The -Res comes up often enough to be useful, but it's the Fire DoT that really speaks volumes with Pets.

All the Cones and AoE's, especially Foot Stomp and Molotov Cocktail from the Bruiser and Arsonist respectively, are amazing. If you have more Single Target Pets though, not sure.

Also, does anyone know if the Fire Damage stacks from different attacks, and even from the same attack by another pet? Like 2 Enforcers using Empty Clips, for example.

From what I have seen from my bots/traps MM, it seems to stack from different pets and powers. I looks as though it's not limited like the -res and other interface components that grant the enemies temp powers.

When I exemplar down to do low level TFs (mid to high 30s), the difference in damage output without the reactive interface working is clearly visible once my bots open up on mobs.

Yeah the radial reactive interface is the current best option for pretty much any Mastermind (heck, it's pretty much the best option for any character). If you hold out until issue 21.5 it might be worth checking out the new interfaces but you won't notice a huge difference.

Thanks for the input, loving the additional DPS. I was checking pet combat and there is a ton of DoT's from reactive!

Yes, they'll stack. Just remember the DoT has a max of 8 stacks on a target applied from *any* source. You can apply up to 8 stacks on a target, but any teammates with the proc also count towards the max. That's why some of the newer interface DoT procs will be useful.
