Deus ex automata does not give you your pet back at 50%, at most it gives you your pet at about 1/3 hp. As for the reduces breath resistance comment SE made (They stated this very poorly) I believe they mean they are gonna make mobs weaker to our wyverns breath attacks, so more dmg from our pets when we ws (I think this is what they are saying). Other than that you hit the nail on the head with this post.
