Were veteran buff pets "buffed?"

I am using the Resist damage one and I notice something interesting. He is VERY hard to hit at times. Not sure if it is gaining my set bonuses or something or what but I've noticed +2 minions missing him like 6-7 times in a row.

Were they buffed?

Well I am a /WP and I do not have a group defensive toggle. There is -ACC in RTTC but the NPC was not in range.

I tested this a couple of times too, they were all longbow I tested it on. Unless I got some random hot streak. I also noticed this in PVP too trying to kill a player's veteran pet but in that instance I wasn't sure if it had buffs.

My perception is that the buff pets have low HP but good defenses.

Sometimes enemies get streaky, just like we do. But I seem to recall something in the patch notes about giving the combat buff pets some AoE defense so they wouldn't insta-die in the first salvo of every fight...anyone?

In any event, they're free hit points and I love them. They'll keep at least one attack off you, and if you Force Field them, they can usually soak five or six attacks before popping like a soap bubble.

Back when they first came out they were set up to have 10 HPs and -75% damage resistance. I suppose it's always possible they eased up on the resistance penalty, but they never had "good" defenses to begin with.
