    Stout Servant and SMNs - Remove the halving effect

    Summoners are still shortchanged on this ability.

    Recent tests show we do get Stout Servant II when capped at 95, but damage reduction is 3.2% or 1/2 of what a Beast or PUP would get on their pet.

    For perspective, Stout Servant I gives other pet jobs 4.7% and II gives 6.7% damage reduction. So summoners are effectively getting Stout Servant 0.8, not even a tier I effect.

    This is due to the way the damage formula has always been calculated halving any PDT gear's effects. There's certainly a case to be made about dishonesty in stats there as well with regards to the PDT gear summoners have access to but I just want to focus on the job trait in this case.

    As Stout Servant also mitigates magic damage, getting half of its effects when avatars only mitigate physical damage seems unnecessary.

    Is there any support to remove the penalty that seems specific to summoners?
