Ifrit: gimped or working as intended?

This isn't to do with potencies, this is because your pet takes 80% of your stats as their own.

I think the discrepancy between pet potency and character potency is the 30% Trait bonus not applying to them. That would put their potency at 77%, which is almost the same as the 80% you were saying. I know Machinist turrets don't get their Trait damage bonus. I think this is the same.
