Fix "Call Wyvern" > /points finger at the Dev Team <

It's probably hard to code system wise to make the Wyvern vanish, then reappear.

I still say Spirit Surge should reset the Call Wyvern timer. Or, let use use Spirit Surge even without a Wyvern, but when doing so, call our Wyvern with a "Rouse Wyvern" state. Rouse Wyvern was our old SP2 which made the Wyvern unkillable for 45seconds and gave it shortened Breath JA timers and increase attack/haste/accuracy. This would allow DRG to use Spirit Surge differently depending on the situation.

I would say the pup mechanic is fair, 20 minutes for full strength or 5 minutes or less but essentially in the same weakened state as the master is after a raise. Because OP is right, a pet job derives a significant portion of its power from the pet, and without one we are just outclassed. Frankly that's why beast, dragoon, pup and summoner generally are not welcome in end-game events, with all the AoE TP and the like the pets die too fast and then the party is stuck trying to carry a now underperforming DD source. Now, beast has always had some of this issue, if anyone tried to "help" us with damage all they REALLY were doing is feeding the mob TP too fast for us to have the pet recover from damage due to the TP abilities; lay off and we were soloing things that normally required 4 monks and a dedicated healer. Pup, we can call a new auto understrength every minute and if it's red or whm auto it can get back to full HP in a hurry, although MP takes awhile. Summoner can get a new full strength avatar in whatever casting time our gear leaves us, but dragoon has to melee, usually in a party and must be actively mixing it up for the wyvern to even function making it the pet MOST likely to be killed-and the longest to recall. All the pets need work, and clearly some different work per job, but dragoon suffers the most based on mandatory playstyle.

5 minute call wyvern, this should have been added years ago. Get people on this, /tell your linkshell, ask your friends, lets get people replying to this already. its stupid how long this recast is.

Everything about dragoon is its pet boosting its master, unlike puppetmaster or summoner which at a minimum is 1 spell or 1 minute away, dragoon doesn't have such a right as to get its pet back up from that 500 dmg AoE move that came while you were paralysed trying to use spirit link when your pet was about to die

It's annoying, change jobs, call wyvern, you now have 20 minutes before you can use this ability again, if the party wipes you are screwed, if you get charmed, you are screwed, use original 2 hour, guess what... you are screwed....

and the charm thing is ridiculous, no other jobs get weakened after being charmed

BST also loses it's pet. Given that Bertha is a rather expensive jug, we're looking at either a 20min cd or throwing away 300k+ per use. We know your pain well. ~_~;;

I am in full support of a reduction to the wyvern cd. There really shouldn't be any balance issues at this point if it were lowered to 5min.

Also, this was one heck of a necro XD

I necro'd this one because nothing has been done, i feel people just gave up. however its always best to try again, perhaps we'll get it this time around.

people don't love that little wyvern, poor little guy gonna be dead most of the time :( Wheres the love people?

bumping~~~,
lowered "Call wyvern" recast!!
please make it happen

I'm gonna hump this damn thread until something is done
