TL;DR
The two bonds utilized here are
1. Reinforced Bond - Condition 1200 shield for pet needed
w/Link-R you'd need 776 shield value on Frame to meet the condition
2. Tenacious Bond - needs 50% critC on pet
using Bite allows for 24/7 uptime for free dmg
other mods are as followed just to let Smeeta do smeeta things

Have a nice day Tenno....
