Being able to Cure pets?

[Dauntless]

I might suggest the same to you

Try sucking less.... all of these jobs are plenty capable of keeping their pets alive >_>

You obviously have never played DRG before if you think keeping our pets alive is easy. Ask ANY DRG who's played the job to 90 how easy it is to keep a wyvern alive when mobs spam AoE's and our only source of healing for it is spirit link which is usable once every 5 min. After that's used there is nothing keeping our wyverns from dying after the next 1-2 AoEs

There's no "skill" involved, it's just not possible to keep it alive when there are mobs (especially in Abyssea) that spam AoEs.

Would be to overpowered.

All other MMORPGs I tried let you cure your and other's pets.
I don't know about BST and PUP specifically, but I don't see how it would be overpowered. Assuming you are /mage you might not have enough MP to sustain pet healing, with the possibility of stealing hate from him. In a party situation, you won't be /mage in the first place so it would be up to other people.
As a SMN, the last thing you want is to steal hate from your Avatar. Add that to spending MP for the perpetuation and even more MP to cast cures on your pet.. not gonna happen. It's way better to just summon another.

I really can't see how curing pets would be unbalanced. If anything it would at least help PUPs a bit seeing how fragile Automatons are.

For the love of altana please, explain. I can find no situation in which this would be overpowered.

Being able to cure our pets might be nice but I do see a potential where it could be broken. Now 1 thing I've never understood is why can't we at least target our pets with buffs? Or in the case of automatons, why can't they cast them? I've seen Troll Automatons use Protect, Shell, and Bar spells, why not our automatons?

SE has good methods for curing pets already. I think letting us spam cure spells on pets would be rather broken in a not good way. I also think its just not necessary.

Sure bst has become a more expensive job, we need to keep buying jugs and pet food, but we can already cure and keep our pets alive. Pup, some frames can cure themselves sure, but really should they ALL be able to keep themselves cured? Thats like saying every job should be able to keep itself cured no matter what. The amounts of regen you can get on ALL auto frames is pretty incredible. Also, SMN have such a fast recast I don't see the need to keep curing their pets anyway.

BST curing I think was fixed appropriately when they adjusted the pet food biscuit levels and curing amount, imo.
Really, we can cure 2k hp every minute just about. Thats 50% of the hp of pretty much any pet. I expect they will add theta biscuit at level 96 and it will adjust along the same scale as current pet food.

I"d rather see changes to the recast timers for sic/ready and probably bloodpacts. I'm not sure on the blood pacts really, and I hardly play smn, but for bst, I'd rather pet tp is the limiting factor on sic/ready, not the recast timer. pup's auto can throw the WS's out there.

I can see it potentially being broken for PUP and maybe BST but how would this be broken for DRG?

[Flunklesnarkin]

I would rather see them lower the reuse timer of call wyvern than implement some sort of pet heal patch..

If all you are concerned about is drg wyverns maybe make a thread in the drg forums?

[Dauntless]

There are already plenty of them and they all go unheard.

I still have yet to be shown a situation in which this would be broken.

I have yet to be shown a situation where drg would be useful as a pet job.

Doesn't mean its not true tho ;o
