Hi folks,
Which DM augments should I strive for, if I want to tank on PUP? (Yes, I checked previous threads, but those item sets appear to be deleted). If I want to tank on PUP, do I need to focus on Pet: DT (or is the Rao set with Pet DT-4 enough and AF1+3 Legs with DT-6?).

If Pet DT isn't an augment I should aim for, I've seen PUPs with full herculean gear that has Pet: Store TP+11, but is that a DM augment or a regular stone augment?

Thanks!

My advice, don't.

Incoming opinion...

For Pet only things:

You can do normal herc augments for Pet: STP set, which is actually pretty niche (when using rng head/body and animator P II), when your puppet is not tanking and only doing rng dps.

For pure wall tank puppet: Rao's great.

For everything else: Honestly, Taeon set with pet: Acc/DT/DA is what I use 90% of the time because it's damn good. And since the last pupdate with Flameholder, Bone Crusher is redic.

For when your master is punching: Just focus gear on your character needs, hybrid master/pet gearsets are mostly a trap.

I happened upon some pet DA/Crit augs from Oseem. Do these have no purpose?

I imagine if pet WSs could crit someone would be ranting and raving about it.

well.. the rate of getting good dm augments for pet is much less than getting good dm augments for master.

I've never found it worth trying for.
