MoggieCanada Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Hi. I just unlocked my Alpha Core and want to know if Musculature Boost applies also to the damage done by Mastermind pets as well as any damage powers a Mastermind has. Thanks!

Sarion Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Yes they affect pets. As far as I know alphas act like an extra enhancement slot and is subject to slight diminishing returns from enhancement diversification. Most MM's go for musculature but there are outliers.

Soulstinger Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I go for Core as I'm running auras and aoes and constantly casting, for example 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikerFox Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Our Alpha incarnate pick buffs pet upgrade powers. It was probably obvious to everyone but I wasn't sure and tested on Necro and Mercs. It should work for Ninja and Bots too. Necro Upgrade 1: +Dam res. Cardiac/Resilient Upgrade 2: +Heal. Vigor/Spiritual (Increases pet's max HP and pet's Siphon Life heal) Mercs Upgrade 1: +Dam res. Cardiac/Resilient Upgrade 2: +Def. Agility/Nerve Ninja Upgrade 1: +Def. Agility/Nerve Upgrade 2: +Heal. Vigor/Spiritual Bots Upgrade 1: +Dam res. Cardiac/Resilient Upgrade 2: +Heal. Vigor/Spiritual I don't think this trumps Musculature/Intuition but if pet survivability is the priority, it might help decide an Alpha pick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it the same as musculature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelika2 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 For the pet powers themselves, it reduces the end they spend on attacks I am not noticing any end reduction in the upgrades for pet spending 26 minutes ago, Tacheyon said: Doesn't that just effect your powers and not the pets?

C U R S E Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Whatever Alpha incarnate you slot then your pets will have it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since your Alpha slot is an enhancement that is slotted into all of your powers, if it includes Endurance Reduction, it should have the same effect as EndRed slotted in your pet powers - which does in fact reduce the End they have to spend on their powers, as well as reducing the End you have to spend summoning them.
