Cleaves are suppose to be something tanks deal with. If pets took their reduced damage on them, there is a risk the pets become better at tanking something than the player tanks. An example is Ramuh EX. Shock strike was miscategorized as a AoE, so people kicked out all the tanks and had a SMN's titan-egi tank it.
