Not that this matters, but they seem to be Red Mages who sub Red Mage. They just have a naturally low delay for some weird reason. Maybe they're dagger-wielding Red Mages? They definitely can't Triple Attack and their evasion isn't anything special, though.

Your bit about magical pet weapon skills being eternally horrid was really informative. I had always wondered if they could be worthwhile with certain atmas, so it's good to know my tingling pessimist sense was correct. I guess the Slug will be more of a situational pet for inflicting Defense Down and absorbing (or resisting, if it's toned down) water damage.

Are most slugs Warriors like every other monster in Vana'diel, or do they have some weird job? They tend to forcibly remove my trousers and render them unusable, so I haven't fought many. They're certainly an unusual monster, so I wouldn't be surprised to find out they have an unusual job.
