I seem to have some confusing memories about the base Pet: DT.
We know all pets have 50% DT by default and that's ok.
But I seem to recall some frames/head combinations had some small additional DT, like Valor Head/Body.
I could find no trace of this on BG wiki. Am I misremembering things then? All combinations have the same default value regardless or what?

Depends on the frame, yes. From the BGWiki guide:

Quote:
PUP gain access to the Stout Servant III Job Trait at lv.98, giving our pets a baseline -DT of 9%

Valoredge Frame & Sharpshot Frame also have a native -PDT/MDT/BDT of 12.5%

Harlequin Frame has a native -PDT/MDT/BDT of 6.25%

Stormwaker Frame has a native -DT of 0%, but instead has -25% MDT & -25% BDT

Thanks Dodik

That doesn't corroborate with these tanking sets I created aeons ago though, something is off.

Avatars, Jug Pets, Luopans and DRG Wyverns all have native 50% DT, so I guess my memory is wrong and Automatons do not get that, and instead get a varying amount depending on frame?

Nevermind, was wrong.

Quote:
This means that through both gear and attachments, you will need 66% Damage Taken to reach the cap.

It's wyvern pets that have a native -40% DT, not all pets. Summons also have a native -50% PDT (not DT).

Stout servant page has this info.

Quote:
Dragoon doesn't get this trait but in the Sept 20, 2011 update their wyverns were given damage reduction as their own trait. SE stated that Wyverns have 40% damage reduction whether that is all inclusive or includes this trait isn't currently known.
Avatars have 50% native PDT, so a level 95 SMN's avatar would have 50% PDT and 7% DT.
Pets cap at 87.5% damage taken, unlike players who have a 50% cap from the damage taken I category, and only a few jobs have access to damage taken II.

Yeah, that makes sense with the sets I made all those years ago. Which page did you get that quote from btw?
So yeah, Automatons get no "innate DT" but they get a small amount depending on frame, then 9% from Stout Servant, and the rest has to come from Attachments or Gear.


Pffff, so many years passed I forgot.
Yeah noticed that part about Avatars, being PDT and not DT.
Luopans do get 50% innate DT though.
