The pet buff issue may be aimed at highger levels.
Some groups have been able to take down the big mobs,
i.e. nag and vox by giving pets a couple of combine
daggers, have the clerics buff them to heck, then let
them go at it. I'm not sure of this, but I have heard
from higher level players that this is a viable
tactic. Don't know.
