Stam Sorc pets seem more fragile

I wanted to see how much difference pets are for Stamina Sorc so I decided to test their strength vs Gold zone Dolmens, granted the mobs are stronger from V6-10 to 160CP across all the zones. My Clannfear couldn't take on as much as he could before the patch, he seems way more fragile now. He used to be able to handle large mob packs in Craglorn holding his own without needing a heal, but now I'm recasting him every 3-5 mobs at Dolmens; the Twilight isn't fairing any better dying after dealing with 1-3 mobs. Their AI also seems to be more erratic, they change targets often rather than staying with what they started attacking then suddenly bolting to another target before the first target dies.

That supposed boost to their Physical Resistance doesn't seem to do anything at all. If anything they are weaker than they were before, but again mobs strength have been upgraded to 160CP across the board so that may be why they're dying so much faster post-patch.

Mobs strengths were changed and Pet's health wasn't altered (except in PvP), not to mention they are not affected by CPs. It was done so they can't take over 45% of their health as damage from a single attack, but against more than one mob this is a useless change.
