It makes no sense with the consistency of the job.

I personally don't mind it feeling more like (X) or (X), I'd rather have something like Druid/Pokemon than our current Necro feel. Still, I can kinda see their reasoning for not making the summon the highest amount of damage from the SMN, if the pet died, the SMN would be useless until resummoned... It would also likely mean they would make pets more susceptible to damage to balance it.
