Can doctors buff pets? If so what stats can they buff? Primary? Secondary?


Thanks in advance.

yes indeed they can billy, and they get all the beneficial effects that players get.

I used to buff my pets. All stats. The buff is gone when you store them though. I don't know if this is still possible after the recent patches / nerfings.

It's still possible - thank Cthulhu.


Buffs are about the only thing that let my critters survive against a single Enhanced Rhoa Kwi on Yavin IV. It spawned on my head and had me down in about 1/8 second - even buffed. Fortuanately my critters were all on Guard, and defended themselves while I admired the wonders of the clouds around Yavin. They were able to engage the bloody thing long enough for my partner to come back from wherever he was and flame the thing.


Still one of the critters ended up taking a dirt nap, and we spent about 10 minutes healing them all up again.

Just a tip to save money whether buffing or buying buffs (I assume you have a groupmate doing it since storing removes buffs though):


I only buff constitution and stamina - these increase the rate at which your pet regnereates health and action. I find if I do this then my pets rarely if ever need a heal. The other secondary stats affect HAM usage of pecials, pets dont use specials, and adding 1-2k Health to a pet with 10k isnt much of a difference.


So instead of asking that doc friend to use 6 buffs, ask him to use 2, he will be happy and your pet will be fine.

Yeah, buffed pets are great, especially if they have really high resists, but unfortunately, they have to be buffed on site. You can't store or take a shuttle, lest they lose they're buffs.
