Hi,

Which of the reaper Prr/Mrr defenses benefit our summons, hirelings, et?

Wizard undead summons benefit from it, what else?

You clearly don't understand the purpose of this post. It's geared toward being able to solo high reaper heroic quests. A charmed enemy can take a lot of aggro.

You have it exactly backwards.  If he were talking about elite, then pointing and laughing would be fair game.  Because real men don't need hires in elite content.

But in reaper?  Self-heals got turfed, and an idiot healer-on-a-stick can be very handy at times.  (feel free to add another dash between idiot and healer, if you like)




The answer to the OPs question is still "None," because all you need is good management skills.  Even wasting feats/enhancements/ED points for boosting charmed critters is pointless.  Charm one, let the gang of mobs around it start beating it to death, and you (and your group if you're not solo) get to come into range for an aggro-free win.

Enlarge spell is the most useful metamagic now.

This reminds me of the firs time we ran DQ at lvl 12 right when it came out (Khyber, I was in the Free Companions then). We managed to bug her off the side and ran in circles down below kiting her until she died. My guild leader was so mad that I basically solo'd the new raid on my ranger while they were all dead watching me backwards kite he made up a reason to kick me out. He wanted to be the bestest.

That was the beginning of A LOT of solo DQ backward running kite raids. Though eventually they changed mechanics, put in djinns and lava, and I was constrained to running small circles with those fucking tendon slicing gnoll archers.

Ah memories of running backwards trying no to die.

Yes and no. I forgot about charmed mobs. You however, seem to think buffing Wyoh is a plan. And that you know what a real man needs (which is TMI ... frankly).

That said, why would you want charmed mobs to have more hp left when the charm wears off?

Not mine, for the record.

Weird. Maybe that shouldn't be your go-to.

Nope, I specifically was looking to see if REAPER defense boosts would apply to our summons, oozes, arti dog, etc.Like what would get buffed and what would not.

Purpose is to run some really really low level heroics on 5+ skull

Darth and Revaulting were a little confused. I'm not looking for enchantments to buff by summons lol.

Is I mentioned in the OP, it does for the wizard skeleton knight. Why that happens? IdK, it's buggy, so I'm trying to find if anything else falls under that umbrella.

Just because Turbine says such and such bonus is (insert shitty useless bonus that no one would ever take here) doesn't mean it is.  Advice to the OP is to experiment around and see what works.  THe last thing you want to do is come here for advice from people who are incapable of innovating and have never ever come up with anything on their own.  

All these people are capable of doing is running their mouths off like puppets regurgitating what they think Shade (or whoever the asshat of the day happens to be) taught them (of course in reality what I was doing 2-3 years before Shade caught onto).

The common routine here is to exile anyone with new or innovative ideas, and then wait long enough for their short term memory to fizzle out and then mysteriously "come up" with the idea for themselves years later.   

Moral to the story?  Turbine's shitty "+4 bonus to all hirlings" may be much more than it says in the text.  Especially if Turbine is in one of its "moods" to try to get people to innovate and come up w/ new techniques.

I was just going to say the regular "butthurt much?", but you covered all the bases.
