    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.
