Command missions - why not just release all the dungeons?

They do, they don't get wrecked completely by many aoes, while cleaves still wrecks them, but so fo pets with them

Huh, that's a weird distinction. TIL I guess. I can't imagine why they would put an exception like that.

This has always been an issue for some reason.

Cone/line AoEs frequently ignore the AoE damage reduction that pets are supposed to be subject to with no rhyme or reason to it whatsoever.

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.

This makes sense for instant cleaves, but not so much avoidable AoEs.

I've noticed that Oni Yumemi's Head Snatch and Orghana's Epigraph can both instagib pets despite them being telegraphed.
