Incorrect...

Its never a pet job... ever, with only a few exceptions... one is FFXI... which that model doesn't fit this game...

The rest it was always a large flashy nuke... a one large single target AoE hit that wipe out enemies...

Which is exactly what Deathflare currently does... what few if any of them ACTUALLY have... is a pet that sticks around.
