Warlock buffs for Summons?

What buffs do they get for their own summons?

I believe the only "distinctive" buff they get is.... the one for run speed ><. Pretty stupid imo compared to empower for ES and MIGHT for PS. But what do I know...

Just looking over the skill list, it looks like they do get a few others. I saw Haste, Shield and Magic Barrier. The main thing is, it looks like a Prophet buff-box would be a waste for a Warlock.

Prophet is better than SE for levelling a warlock.. but with both it's great!

All summoner get haste, shield and M. Barrier :P Apart from that, wlk gets ww, ES emp and PS might

I think Prophet buffs are great myself. But if I use a Prophet, will the lack of a VR buff for the Warlock summons be an issue?

If herbs are dropping you will be fine!

Not really. VR ofcourse it very nice, but your a healer for the summon. Its not like you have much else to use you MP for, other than debuffs. Id pick Pp buffs or Warcryer buffs myself, over SE. They hit hardest with PP, and have all kinds of resist buffs if needed, and anything else you could need :P
Plus, acumen and zerker for you.

VR is nice, but as pointed out, not really needed when you have all the other buffs a prophet can give. Self buffed, 1x mobs aren't a problem. Prophet buffs, 1x mobs are a pushover.

If you really wanna trail around 2 toons for a summoner, Prophet + BD is the sweet spot.

A SWS isn't too shabby either. Song of Hunter + Summon = ouch.

No..... the cat has a base crit rate of about 50.... +100% crit rate gets it to about 100, which is less than a dagger or bow.

WC, Prophet, or SE. Depends on how much and how often you need to heal your pet.

base crit rate on servitors is 40

I made a warlock on Luna, and I noticed that the base crit rate on the kitties is now 44 O_o And with focus herb it's 57. This is on level 42-46 summons; I haven't been on my ES yet, which is a bit higher level to see if there's a difference as you level up.

actually that's probably the dex modifier. It's 40 base so i bet if you go to l2calc you'd see that's from dex i'd wager.

Servitors have base stats now (dex, str etc)?
Either way, I just went to check out my pony's stats (lvl 74) and its crit rate is also 44, so I guess it doesn't change.

everything has base stats, it's just a matter of whether or not you can see them directly. all mobs have the same base stats iirc.

Okay, so what changed that made serviors' crit rate change?

Hmmm - this is bizarre - I don't think I've looked at the crit rate on any of my servitors in ages. However I'm pretty positive that hey used to be 40 and now you guys made me go check and they are all 44. I dunno when this changed but I honestly never remember seeing 44. Wonder if nc has changed something without announcing it - could this have happened with the ct1.5 update? Weird...

Also just looked and I'm also pretty sure that final servitor used to boost my pets crit rate by 10 from 40 to 50, and now it goes up 9 from 44 to 53.

Oh well servitor's crit is so low anyway I'm not going to worry about it but I'd say nc has changed something on us without it appearing in the patch notes.

Yeah.. It's by no means a groundbreaking change, just something that makes you go "hmm" :p I'm really curious about this change.

I believe it was several chronicles ago but myexperience was similar to eirane's. I opened it up one day and was liek ohh neato i cit .4% more now. Anyway i believe it was when they started making pets more like mobs, ie their hp bars visible, the same AI for hitting targets etc.
