Hybrid passive and pets?

[Pale_Enchantress]

We know that alpha is a global enhancement and works fine with pets. We know that hybrid doubblestrike toggle affects our pets too (and does wonderfully) but does the passive damage boost increase their damage? DO any of the passives affects pets? Do all the active toggles affect pets, such as the radial control toggle?

Keep in mind the hybrid double hit or damage boost proc is actually really wonky with pets. It won't work unless you summon pets while its toggled on. After that it will.work normally but the pet dies or you zone.

 

Its quite the pain.

A bit more detail on Hybrids and Pets:

 

First, the passive benefit does not affect them.  Alpha and Interface affect pets because they function like enhancements slotted in every power you have, pets included.   Hybrid's passive is simply a self buff, and nothing more.

 

As for the active powers:

 

Melee does not affect pets at all.  This is apparently intentional.

 

Assault and Control *do* affect pets, but they're slightly bugged: They'll only affect pets who are summoned while the power is active.   However, those pets will be affected by any subsequent activation.   This stops when the pet dies or you zoned, meaning they'll need to be re-summoned while it's active again after that to gain the effect.  This applies to Controller and  Dominator, pets, as well as lore and other short-duration effects, so summon them after you active the hybrid effects.

 

Support always affects pets without any issues.
