I am on record for saying a bst skillchain; each merit and gloves increase the damage by a small percentage; 2%.
But yea, lol, I have a dd pet only mentality, lol. I would not mind a butterfly, tempestuous upheaval could be awesome in a crowd. However, I would prefer if they added a few dd oriented pets as well. I truly believe a jug's dd potential is the most important factor when implementing jugs. Big numbers will get us into pts, ask those sams and rngs^^ A naul, scorp, and wivre with their beneficial abilities intact would blow most bst's mind if we ever got these in jug form.
My hierarchy of dd jugs would look something like this; top 5 imo.
1) Naul (Spike flail^^ Also, dragon breath can still hit players 1k dmg with lvlgear)
2) Wivre (Boiling blood and crippling slam)
3) Scorpion (Sharp strike, death scissors)
4) Craklaw (Sundering Snip, Impenetrable Carapace)
5) Mantid (Preying Posture, Raptorial Claw, Exorender)
All dragons not named Hyra or Zilant are indeed implementable imo. I am not buying the lore/unimplementable statements. SE alluded to allowing sky mobs as possible jugs. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...l=1#post191859. They even mentioned the possibility of adding flans, but needed time to make the background story fit.
As it pertains to Wyrms, the storyline could be quite simple. Firstly, an addition of an item, similar to honey wine, but a jug content. Wyrms appear to like fine beverages "shrugs" Perhaps a dessert wine or something. Allow cooks to obtain this drink, which is essentially jug contents. Ingredients; royal grapes, white honey, dragon fruit, olive flower, a new type of harvested item only found in grauberg (S), where wyverns and a wyrm are known to live and a water crystal. Combining these items would create Dessert wine, which is a jug; akin to Scarlet sap, which does not read "broth." Cooks and beastmasters managed to communicate with ladybugs whom were thought to be extinct according to the lore, hence wyrms are not impossible to implement imo. This jug is not like other wyrms, he does not fly nor is he one of bahamut's henchman. His loyalty lies with the bst. He is a special entity.
Nauls are extremely powerful; I do not see why they could not be called upon by a bst. We can already charm a mob from that fourth ecosystem anyway. The wyrm would grant us a killer instinct effect to kindred; no biggie really. Blu and bst both have monster correlation and killer effects, hence overlap, it is not a big deal imo.
