Please tell me this is not a bug.

Don't pets get stuck with the stats you summon them in, more or less? Summon in SS then switch to Crit/Det, assuming you're not summoning in combat for some reason.

From what I've heard and understood, whenever you use Rouse it will reset this.

This was told to me following a suggestion I made about put on what accuracy gear (on SMN) to meet the pet accuracy requirements and then switch once summoned. And since you can't change gear during battle, this would be negated whenever you used Rouse or Spur.

Whether that's true or not, I'll leave to someone else to answer. I figured I'd just throw that out there.

Just did some quick tests and this seems to be untrue.

In gear: ~650 Embrace
No gear: ~650 Embrace
After Rouse: ~650 Embrace
Resummon with no gear: 370 Embrace.

By no means was this an in depth test, but the results seem conclusive enough. With no gear on Rouse didn't reset my pets stats, only resummoning did.

Did you, er, factor Rouse's 40% healing up into your calculations when you used Embrace after popping Rouse and taking off your gear? It seems like you did based on the math, but just making sure.

BTW, a while back I seem to recall people saying the Egi stat refresh came from using Spur, not Rouse. If no one beats me to it, I'll test when I get home. If so...gg SE, keep making SCH OP while SMN is slowly circling the drain. :/
