Power order is fluid, although I've taken everything to level 20.

He's level 20 now and a lot of fun. I'm going to buy the Armadillo secondaries as soon as I have the questionite, since he does a lot of the "tanking" for his pet army. Primary gear will include some Ego for soloing, and bonus healing for teaming in Support role.

So, my questions:
-- How does pet damage scale? I saw a loading screen tip that mentioned Int, but is that correct now or is it based on superstats or...?

-- Does he have enough healing to not look foolish when in support mode on a team?

-- Right now he runs out of gas a lot. I took Conviction partly to proc Molecular Self Assembly, since he doesn't have any other short cooldown powers. Is there a better way to get energy?
