HO's and pets

I haven't found this anywhere, so I thought I'd ask,

If I slot a Ribosome Exposure in a pet, will it boost the inherent resistance of the pet?

As in, if I slot a Ribo in Zombie Horde, will the zombie pets have higher resistance?

No, it will not help the pet. If you have Mids', a good rule of thumb is whatever SO a pet can slot are the only ones that will help its power buffs. Zombie Horde can slot acc, dam, end redux, heal and tohit debuff. Adding an enhancement with a damage resist component will do nothing but the end redux portion of the Ribosome will help.

I think only a couple of pets have powers where damage resist enhancements will help, Demons and Dire Wolf.

Interestingly, the pet resistance power for demonlings in City of Data show the resistance powers are not tagged with the ignores enhancements flag. I just checked, and Zombies are also missing the tag for their resist power. As far as I know, I think that means they would be enhanced if you could get enhancements that enhance that aspect, like with HO's. I think City of Data pulls values from the games files, so the tag should be correct. Does anyone know if City of Data is wrong on this, or if there is some other reason the resist enhancement wouldn't work for the pet's innate resist powers?

Also interestingly, the T2 pet for demon summoning does have the tag on its innate resist powers. I would guess this is because it is actually supposed to take resist enhancers, and the devs didn't want you to enhance their innate resists at the same time you enhance their shields.

No because the undead pets I do not think are offering a resistance power like the Tier 2 Demon is or like Protector bots do with their bubble. So they don't benefit.

Of course you could test this out with a 2nd build like I did using Single Origin Enhancers.
