i think all main pets are taking way too much damage, though it was a bigger issue as a verdant animist who's main pet is supposed to be able to tank mobs, against just a blue + a yellow mob it took 462 damage in the first 2 swings, pet heal only heals up to 272 damage so you can imagine how badly this ended, below is a screen shot to show you what i experienced:
