ok dude. i do know that pet would take full dmg cause of the Dlvl on the end game mobs which is why you can do no armor runs with ifrit. but im not sure if you know that seeing as your highest job is 21. and as i said earlier i am thinking the worst i completely hope i am proven wrong. and once again the class designs are kinda poor once again look at Warrior and Pld. It can be exactly the same thing between Blm and Smn. The arguement is that if there isn a perpetual cost or at least if the pet doesnt auto dismiss when the summoner is out of mp they can/only atuo attack so basically summoner wont be sitting there with its thumb up its ass during the fight.
