2780: intercept damages inconsistant between players and pets

Description

after the closing of #1164: Intercept SM Champion Pet, and the remarques of Naryu concerning intercept damages on SM pets, i checked back some evidences and live videos at damages seem to be underrated on pet intercept on Uthgard compared to player intercept

i hope this will help figure the exact formulae of damages taken on intercept :)

Reproduction Steps

1. try having a SM pet intercept any damage
2. compare damage taken by the SM and by the pet
3. try having any tank intercept for the SM
4. compare damages taken by the tank and by the pet

Intended Behavior

Pet should take generaly more damages than they are now i think and especially SM pets while intercepting (blue pet, even if not taking 100% of the original damages that is true)

I think that intercept damages should generaly get a revamp => damages taken should be on par with damages taken by the first target character (still depends on her AF/abs/resists/conditions) even if not taking into accounts ABS/AF/resists/conditions of the person intercepting => thus the myth of intercept one shooting a paladin on a mage : people seem to forget that the mage was
-sitting
-got his armor off to repair it (no AF/resists)
-did not have his orbs/self abs (no AF/abs)
-got PAed

Trying to provide tangible evidences of intercept damages being lower on player / higher on pets as a follow up on this post (but you don't see people intercepting a lot on videos ^^ or damages or not really readable :) )

Evidence

You can see here pets on Uthgard taking 1/5 to 1/7th the damages of the SM while intercepting (inconsistant with previous live videos where pets are full buff boted and sometimes ML9 and take more than 5% life damage => between 8 to 15%, check video evidence previously posted first video from 2.55 to 3.57, multiple intercepts, other video 10 seconds after the timer, red keep guard intercept => 60% damage on pet, intercept from an half-ogre arms unstyled damages more than 10%, another bug intercept at 5:44 => the pet dies from it)

Here is a live video with a armsman intercepting from a paly on a VW hit (around 3% damages, 88=>85)

here are the damage taken by a 50 paladin intercepting for a 50 minstrel on a green mob on uthgard
hit for 350(-266), seems somehow capped and not considering the AF/abs of neither the first target nor the intercepting player

I assume that on uthgard the pets are not red buffed by the group shaman (concentration + number of buffs limited to 20) ; so at best, the SM has 26 summoning while doing RvR (assuming either darkness drain life or suppression PBAE spec) so lower buffs than blue ones on a cleric for example (considering on live you even have %toa buff bonus...)

i know that a lot are from NF and recent (harder to find OF and harder to see on them) here is an old school video (harder to see but the hero takes around 10% damages on an intercept)

better seen around here (less than 10%, so should be around 170-200 considering the HPs of a Full buffed hero celt on a tank hit 1h sword mid) https://youtu.be/I8YkFQvcY7o?t=613

2h crush armsman highlander around 10% damage taken on intercept on an elf mage
