Except.... there is.... it's called math and I laid it all out there. Go back and read it again. The concept seems to have slipped through your fingers the first time. The only reasons to buff pets is either that you are honestly terrible at math or pure stubbornness and ego. But don't pretend as if logic is on your side in this. You've made no argument that surmounts to anything more than "I do what I want!"

Although it seems many replies ago I am the op. I only wanted to know so I could factor it into my play. Ie didn't want to waste effort buffing pets if there was no point. note I deliberately avoided mentioning solo or teams. What else has gone on in the thread is nuts but quite entertaining to read. Forgive the poor typing and English but me and smartphones don't get on. Hmmmmm would Ts buff my typing speed?

1. To answer your question directly, pets benefit from all aspects of Temporal Selection except for the Recharge buff.
2. As you can see by the discussion, there are pros and cons to using it on your henchmen. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide who/what you want to use it on.
3. The conversation proves that this game is definitely not stuck in the ruts that other games put you in where you do not have the kind of flexibility that we have.

To the point I was making, I have found buffing my henchmen to be an effective use of Temporal Selection because of the mechanics that govern what Masterminds can do. And, despite many protests to the contrary, I believe that, in most cases, I prefer to buff my henchmen with it so that I can lay out more destruction while I go about doing other buffing, debuffing, healing, tanking, and all the good things Masterminds can do... and all simultaneously!
There are others who believe that, while on a team setting, buffing other players is better. And, they have made valid points supporting their opinion.
Ultimately, who gets the buff is your call!

Anyways... I've said my piece about the topic. Time to move on to other things.

I mean come on. Your pets have low base damage and low HP, and they can't benefit from the big ol' recharge buff at all. Do you honestly think that TS is better used on a pet than, say, a scrapper or blaster or something? Hell, even your typical defender will get more mileage out of TS than a mastermind pet. On a team, it's not about making the mastermind more effective, it's about making the team more effective.
