Well I am building a gadgeteer summoner who snipes while his pets do the dirty work.
I'm running REC/CON SS and gearing for STR/CON
I have Defiance as my passive
Pets I'm running:
Support Drones Munition Bots Arcane Summoning r2
I am bubble spamming at the same time, its inexpensive with Defiance and REC SS, I have the whole bar back in two hits with energy builder, not even using an energy unlock.
Now I want to stand back Enrage myself and snipe with Ebon Ruin, once in a while I throw Grasping Shadows at the enemies for the sake of fearing.
Do I need one more defense like IDF for myself and my pets or should I get a nice DPS/Debuff pet perhaps Primal Summoning r2 or Command Animals r3 to further weaken my targets. I do not want Summon Shadows, since IMO they don't last long enough and I really do not need more healing.
I intend to solo Elite APs with this and occasionally duel.

Since you didn't choose a passive that benefits your pets like AoRP or AoPM I'd opt for IDF.

Thanks, btw, does running AoRP make a big difference to pets ? Specially on a build with barely 50 PRE ?

I'm sure you could fit in more PRE somewhere in your gear/talents; if you want your pets to do your dirty work, AoRP could make a difference in the pets staying around vs. dying and transfering aggro to you. IDF's also great for pretty much letting you shrug off henchmen attacks while you focus on stronger enemies.
Gonna go with IDF here.

I guess I'll stick to Defiance and IDF thanks. If I got AoRP I'll be like most other pet users, I'd rather keep defiance and hold with ungrasping shadows while my pets clobber em and snipe out the stronger feared enemies with Ebon Ruin. Thanks, and in 5 man hard powerhouse 250+ Con, Defiance and IDF, mobs tickle me, even large groups and on top of that im bubble spamming, I can afford to resummon while they beat me. Initially I was planning on getting just DPS pets and tanking using PA moves =P. Similar to Kenpo's Arsenal build with a few changes.

WIth high defiance conviction beats bubble spam by far.

How come ? I'm not running MSA, I have virtually no PRE. Protection Field blocks damage and the inner bubble heals. =P
