Stats to look for on pet builds

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

Hi All!

I wander if only ‘bonus to all pets’ is important for pet builds or should I also look for not ‘to all pets’ stats?

The question is: which stats outside of those listed for all pets benefit them? Do the same type of damage on particular items adds to the same damage type that given pet is dealing? Do players OA and DA counts also for them? do All Damage increases pets damage? What else should I know while itemising my pet Cabalist?

Regards

Nothing from the player affects pets and vice versa. Player damage, OA, DA, resistances - none of that carries over to pets. Pet stats are specifically listed under “bonuses to all pets.”

The only thing that benefits both pets and player is auras (flame touched, for example) or other area buffs (inquisitor seal). If it’s a buff with a radius, chances are it affects anything inside of that radius, including both you and your pets.

Since player and pet stats don’t overlap at all, most people just stack defensive player stats (to stay alive) while letting the pets do the damage.
