Does "Improves the Damage of all your powers" Include Pets?

Looking at some IO sets that list "Improves the Damage of all your powers by x.x%" listed for however many of them you slot.  Does that power also up the damage of your pets, or just you?

That was my guess, but since it said "all of your powers," I wasn't sure.

But you know, "all" your powers...

They'll work on pets if you can slot them in the pet power directly.  Heck, the purple BU proc even works on phantom army which is otherwise impossible to buff.

 

I've done that and you are right, Soulbound Allegiance will work on pets if slotted into that pet.  But I'm thinking stuff like Decimation Chance of Buildup is worthless on anyone other than the MM that slots it.  OTOH, Hybrid isn't, assuming you spawn the pets after activating Hybrid.  So the 'rules' are a bit wonky.

Just you. Most IO bonuses will never affect pets / henchies. 

 

Which is a shame, because one of the Mastermind ATOs literally gives a % Damage boost. Which is a complete wasted set bonus on MMs. 😞

Not if you take attacks as a MM….which you should.

I agree, why wouldn't there be a dmg buff for pets. Not like they're suddenly going to be a blaster, with assault, BU, Aim, and whatever dmg bonuses they have.

Obviously this is a new era where are pets rights?!? lol
