With the power increase of pets they now do a lot more damage, and consequently, get more attention and more damage, so they appear more squishy.
Pets now need a damage cap increase. The introduction of Stout Servant II would increase the cap and make the pets hardier. The perfect gear to place Stout Servant II for bst (because this is a bst forum) would be on the empyrean 119 legs. This would be true for other pet jobs as well, though maybe not on the legs but another piece of gear.
