Okies, I am just curious about which buffs affect or do not affect main shrooms. The ones that I know do work are dex and con buffs. But I am curious if Str, Qui and Acuity affect the controlled shrooms and also is it different for a Verdant shroom as opposed to the Arboreal or Creeping main pets?

The root of this question really is: Do the main shrooms actually melee or are they casting when they attack??

Well, the verd shroom will melee so str will be worthwhile. Brain does nothing for any pet. Qui, i cant remember for sure but i think it helps with the mobs to-hit with melee attacks.

quickness does indeed help verd pet melee faster. You can see this on melee tower doors easily if you like to see for yourself. Acuity does nothing but rest of buffs help pet.

Dont forget base AF. Helps with absorb. Or at least it does with necro pets, im assuming its the same here.

I thought acuity helped the Creep and Arb pets?

It certainly helps Hearts.

On an other pet-class board it's told, that every buff increases the absorb of a pet.
I believe, that this is true for any shroom, too.

All the buffs help raise absorb, see necros' board for the original test.
2 exceptions: acuity and spec AF, this last one was nerf'd because 2 realms can't cast it on their pets, and necros had insanely high AF.
