Wyvern Pet Abilities

Seems there is much speculation as to ways to keep wyverns alive. I'm suggesting pet abilities, what do you all think?

1. "Stay" - (with increased healing range to match that of a WHM's range) This will allows DRGs to strategize the location of their wyvern keeping them out of AoE and therefor alive.

2. "Attack" and "Return" - This could allow wyverns to pull without... engaging, turning or super jump then turning, and then disengaging so the wyvern returns (huge waste of a super jump) Or the attack command could be used to move your wyvern to a new monster so the elemental breaths are not wasted when finishing off a mob with a WS.

3. "Retreat" - Maybe wyverns fly fast enough to get out of range of those AoE spells... no way to know for sure.

'Stay' would be enough to make me happy. Enhanced healing breath range is something we need critically even without it but the two do seem to go hand in hand.

I agree with Dais. 'Stay' would go a long way towards preserving healing ability while fighting dangerous AOE-heavy opponents. The rest ranges from troublesome to implement to nearly impossible.

I would love to see a pet ability to allow you to disengage wyvern. Its a bit annoying to have to comepletly disengage something instead of just turning around cause if you don't the wyvern will just keep attacking. Would make it bit more friendly for any sleeper or the occational shadowbind if its still used.

A hate control JA will be nice like pup have and bst instead of waiting for jump to be ready , yes please

The full complement of familiar abilities would be nice. Would allow wyvern to pull and tank or sit idle - heel and snarl is i had to pick two. Defensive wyvern might need to be engaged for heals though.

how about. Fly a little higher would you and stop getting in my damn way when i try and move.

a "Stay" command I've wanted for many years.

I have to admit, I've always thought that getting the same commands that bst gets would be great, but what about an ability that moves your wyvern to your side during combat. This could prevent it from taking unnecessary damage from conal attacks.

Genius. This could be simple to implement, as the commands already exist for the Beastmaster class.
