ideas for aof effect on jiggy and hal (in General)

i think the amulet of focus needs to give some boost to the jiggy and hal. at first i thought it should increase damage like it does for the dd familiar, but upon further thought there would then be no reason to use the amulet of might. i can only think of a few things that would make sense and be useful:

have it increase the dex of the familiars

have it somehow modify cth (increase bth for jiggy and decreased melee ranged mods for hal).

what else could it do that would be unique, useful and non-redundant?

if most are using it with junction, i guess making junction cheaper with each upgrade could work as well.

all of these seem less flashy than the 3% boost to dd level magic familiars get per each plus. maybe some combination?

On the Jiggy just make it boost skill as it does on minions.

i could get, with my named aof, more than a 40 percent increase though to my jiggy's uc which would also boost his evasion. i guess i need to run the numbers to see how much free xp that gives in comparison to dd to know whether or not that is equitable.

The amulet of might would be used on minion tanks.

I agree the AoF is too powerful used on a junction DD familiar. You get a boost to ED spells and a nice 3% boost to the DD level of the familiar AND a boost to junction with less xp needed to spend in it.

To compensate for the Hal and Jkf, just make the AoF boost the strength of the Jig and Hal by 3% per +.

Again the AoM would be useful for tanks.

The JKF's evasion is not effected by any modification of his UC, unlike regular boosting of UC. I have never been able to change his evasion in any way other than equipping DB.
