    You could turn it around and say, SMN pets will defend their masters automatically whereas BST pets need to be commanded to do anything. I honestly don't think that if this were given to us as SMNs it would change our job a great deal, and we certainly need to be asking for more needed changes.

    It's almost as if each pet job has its little quirks and that one belongs to BST. I still get annoyed at the Retreat glitch on SMN, and that's been in the game a very long time. :/
    When the VE/CE enmity values came out i began to think about it: What if it's put in place to reduce the enmity from an action we took in range? While that's possible, i do feel that they could negate that possibility by.. idk.. making pets HIT mobs we are running away from. Seriously, how many times has fenrir and friends missed the first 1~5 hits only to allow a mob to get his mitts on you? Can't count? Neither can I.

    They should address avatar hp while they are at it.

    Lastly Dekutsu you are missing the point here. Melee can spend millions on gear and attack because they can reach a higher fSTR than avatars can. The biggest limiting factor on avatar damage is that they are black mages (thanks mellowy for reposting what i assume we all should have researched lol) and the base str is pretty bad and there is no way to add +stats outside abyssea atm. This is why i'd like them to add summoner's gear stats to pets.

    Imagine a blm with a scythe going into abyssea with only +50str, mediocre attack, and wanting to gain 1% more damage or attack. The other thing is that pets have something else going on in the background that allows them to sometimes do decent damage on some mobs in a summoners level range.
