Pet "abilities" stat block

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds

Hello,
Trying a pet build for the first time, and rather puzzled by the “abilities” part of many pet skills:

The damage and health parts, in particular: are they modifying the flat health/damage numbers in the stat block? Are the stated flat numbers already including those increases? Why do we have +X% in this block instead of just flat final numbers? Are the +X% applied to other pets besides (in this case) Blight Fiend?
Appreciate your help as always!

Works similar as with player, on the second tab you can see its default weapon damage and so on.

No why should it?

Thank you!! Just to make sure–the +X% damage then modifies the flat values, correct?

yes, it’s the same as if you have an item with +x% pet dmg etc, in this case it’s then just only to the BF because it’s a passive on the fiend
Think of it as working just like ex Decorated Soldier node in Soldier, in this case it’s BF’s “skill tree” passive, just free XY stats onto the char, acting the exact same way as those stats when gotten elsewhere, and combines additively like the others. (and then changes in values as it’s ranked up from 1-26 like the skill tree example)
