Stout Servant and SMNs - Remove the halving effect

[Dekusuta]

My point is that it's not "a penalty specific to summoners". A NIN gets less flat delay reduced from a haste spell than a 2 hander. A WHM gets less flat damage reduced from shell than a BLM. A SMN pet gets less flat damage reduced than a BST pet.

But they all get the same *percentage* reduction of whatever it would be without the thing in consideration.

It's just the way the math works, and asking it to be changed for SMN is asking for an exception to the way multipliers work for every other thing in the game.

Again, you miss the point.

As a Pet job SMN relies 100% on our avatars and our relative 'dis'parity (BSTS with food always lasted longer than a SMN and I'm fine with that) of having a pet 'tank' has increased significantly since the magian trials, and Abyssea atmas because of how damage is calculated. We're also fairly gear locked with -perp and refresh pieces preventing us from using some of the -PDT available.

Mind you, I'm not even asking for a wholesale change or new gear. Just to apply the job traits as a flat bonus accuring with the avatar's PDT so it bump us up from 50% PDT to 56.7% PDT as a special 'bonus' because the stout servant trait is too weak on SMNs, and we're not getting the desired effect on our pets as a BST would nor have the gear flexibility of swapping out our Empyrean +2s for Moogle Trial hat for thatg extra 10% 5% because of our reliance on MP regen and not being able to rest with pets out.

This is a whole lot of words wasted on asking for an extra ~3.2% reduction. I don't even want to think how hard you would spaz if I asked for a 40% PDT trial staff so we'll get 20% actual damage reduction on our pets.
