They could just extend our cruor buffs to pets, too. I don't know about you, but my pet consistently pulls hate off any player-regardless of job-not in full AF3 +2 or under the effect of a brew; but I have pet Acc/Atk armor and Emp weaps, not the normal -pdt set. Actually, I usually need to call my pet off to keep from burning through Jugs or food. Also, with the pet buffs I never take hate from my pet unless it gets slept and I choose not to cure it.
