"Clever use of game mechanics" is what an exploiter calls an exploit to justify their conduct.

The encounter was designed for a specific set of roles. As I understand the pet in question has a 66% reduction in magical damage and due to this is why it can tank Ramuh. What this means is that you can have an extra damage dealer. now with a standard party make up of four damage dealers then an extra is a 25% increase now that's more than the coil buff at 20% and how many people, probably the same people QQed about that. In the end the 'tactic' makes the encounter less significantly demanding, the add are a dps check after all, so it is an exploit.

Will SE take any action against those that do it. I seriously doubt it. Will they patch it? If the behaviour becomes prevalent as it seems it is then I'm sure they will.

If it looks like an exploit, acts like an exploit, it's an exploit.
