2018-07-03 Patch - Pets seem even more squishy

No build changes on my end. Hero does not have Best Defense nor Aggressive Stance. Yes, I know pets are meant to suck (till they get revised).
Post patch, pets are taking way more damage and getting one shotted (sometimes even by the two/three hp bar mooks) in Alerts.
Most blatant was during Pyramid Power vs. Draconis where his PBAoE was slaughtering them.
Things to note about the above sentence:
- I know pets don't scale well in alerts.
- I know pets don't benefit from the Burst alert augmentation.
- I have played this exact scenario many times before and never saw ALL pets get one shot. At most one and rarely two.
- During this alert I actually ended up using Aura of Radiant Protection (~75% dmg res) + Inertial Dampening Field to mitigate damage.
- Pets got one shotted regardless.
I am under the impression this was an unintended side effect of... something.
Maybe how Player's summons' defense is calculated, since I used specializations to give these pets way more HP than normal.
P.S. : This post is not asking for build advice.
