The popular thing to do with pets is buff the secondaries so the regen rates speed up.. On a 10k HAM pet, the primaries usually do not matter.. but the secondaries are sooooo low they just are not able to regener ate any damage..

IIRC the secondaries being buffed isn't supposed to really do anything on pets... In beta.. (or maybe after release) they got capped at something godawfly low so they intentionally would not regen fast. (So you need pet or normal stims). it may have been a freaky BE bugged pet...

That was my impression as well, which is why I asked him to report the results. He claimed to get total regen in less than a minute (but I wasn't there to see it myself).

On my little non-ch pet, even the 400 buffs make a difference in the primaries, but I never noticed the secondary effect.

Hmmm... I'll try testing this myself..

I will be interested in the test results, my information was very subjective.

Buffing your own pets works in camps, and houses too, tho getting a mount far enoughinside can be hard. Hint: try doing it through the doorway. A friend's camp works fine too, if you don't have scout.

When i used to hunt krayts with my buddy we always fully buffed my Maulers. Adding 20% to the health and action pools was a good safetey margin and yes the secondaries can be buffed and do affect the regen rate and the amount of damage they seem to take. All they did was cripple the pets so that their secondaries are naturally low but you can still buff them because there is no cap.

I took me a month, but i finally got around to testing this

Yes, you can buff a pets secondaries to make them "self healing"

I used to do this all the time when I was a doc/CH. You only need to buff the constitution and stamina though. I don't think the strength and quickness do anything for pets.
