Enchant demon, Abyssal empowerment - Mids shows Hami-Os can be used, is that true?

[EnjoyTheJourney]

As per the subject line, Mids character planner shows that Hami-Os can be used for the pet power buff skills (lvl 6, lvl 32). If that's true, and if both parts of the Hami-O function normally, then at least for demons it's tempting to put in Ribosome exposures to boost resistances and endurance reduction. 

 

If somebody has play-tested this and found it doesn't work, well, then that's an option better crossed off the list. 

 

Thank you in advance for any feedback.

I'm not 100% sure if hami-Os can be slotted into the upgrade powers or not... but I wouldn't be surprised if they could.

However, it's important to note that whilst the level 6 and level 32 powers "unlock" extra abilities on your pets - they don't actually contain those abilities.
They give your pets a passive power that functions like a boolean variable.
If it's TRUE, then your summoned pet pets can use their extra abilities. If it's FALSE then they can't.

In other words... if you want to increase the effectiveness of your Ember Demon's shields or heals (for example) then you should slot Ribosome or Golgi HOs into your Summon Demons power, not into the Enchant Demon or Abyssal Empowerment powers.

Here is a subtle point about Hami-Os (all AT, all powers)

 

Even if they can be slotted into a power, it doesn't mean that "all" enhancement aspects of the HO will work in the power. You can tell if a "part" of an HO will work if you can slot a common IO into the power. If the power doesn't take certain common enhancements, those portions of an HO will do nothing.

 

This is subtly different than for Enhancement Sets. Some enhancement sets will include attribute enhancements for which you cannot slot a common IO... the enhancement from such sets WILL contribute to enhancing the power.

 

My suspicion is that the HO you are specifically looking at are only boosting the Endurance cost, and nothing else.

Yes, Hamis can be slotted in pets and I do so with every mastermind for maximum effects and to fit in other enhancements

Cytos in Enforcers

Cytos in Prot Bots

a Golgi in Soldiers, Gargs and cats

etc and so on

Also, Endurance Reduction reduces the cost of the summon, as well as the endurance spending that the pet does.

 

Primary uses in say, tier1 wolves:

Nucleolus Exposurex2, 1 random acc/dmg/end pet dmg IO, 1 raw end reduction IO, 2 random aura buff IOs.  Call to Arms, Sovereign Right, etc

 

Other uses like the Commando:

Nuc exposurex2, 1 raw end reduction, 1 OF KB to KD and 1 Mark of Supremacy end/aura buff, 1 random aura buff IO.  This turns all the knockback happy powers into Knockdown while getting the most out of his end bar

 

My Gargs are slotted:

2 nuc, 1 acc/dmg/end, 1 golgi, 2 random buff ios.  The resistance aura they give off is not huge and I prefer the extra healing as a demon/thermal

tyvm! 

 

I'll study further for the gargs, as I do have 4 free slots with which to work.

My response is specific to the level 6, level 32 powers.

The currently available Hami-Os would be wasted in such powers.
