There's no piece that has Pet Haste that we would also normally use for its other stats. I'm hopeful they add Pet Haste as a default stat to new gear(just like Haste is a default stats now on all new visible pieces of gear). As for right now, most pieces with pet haste also don't have much in terms of Multihit DA/TA/QA/STP which are vital stats for us. So like Regimen Gloves would have been good but they don't have any STP or anything so they're pointless for us. Pet Haste will never be a priority for DRG so unless they start adding it to new gear which has beneficial stats for the DRG primarily then it will never be sought after(because Wyverns are still extremely low DPS in an alliance <0.5% DPS of alliance). On lower content like Ark Angels though, my Wyvern hits for 200-300 when I copy Soul Voice buffs over with Spirit Link and it had me thinking he'd be doing pretty good damage if he also had 25% Pet Haste but of course with current options, I'd lose too much DPS on DRG.
Still waiting for a Job Ability or Pet Command that's similar to Ranger's "Velocity Shot". It would be like "Enhances Attack, Accuracy and Attack Speed of Wyvern but renders breaths unusable." I talked about this in my "Muster" post a year ago. An ability like this would have the following awesome benefits:
1) It would increase a Wyvern's DPS substantially.
2) Since Breaths would be unusable, the Wyvern would spend less time readying a 50-120 damage Elemental Breath Attack on a boss or NM and instead continue to auto-attack which deals more damage in less time(breath attacks are inaccurate on NMs and only deal 300-400 when they land for full but in that time, the wyvern could have hit 2-3x with auto-attack for more!)
3) Since Breaths are unusuable, the Wyvern has no avenue in which to lose the TP it gathers, this allows the DRG to use the oft forgotten, underutilized benefit of Spirit Link, to siphon half of the Wyvern's TP stores, thus enhancing the DRG's DPS by giving us another way to gain TP in a pinch.
Under the effect of this ability, the wyvern would not use an Elemental Breath after a WS nor would it use a Remove Breath after a WS, nor would it Healing Breath after a spell at low HP. They could give us a way to override this and let us use a breath if we use the job ability Smiting Breath or Restoring Breath. But even if they extend the restriction of Breaths to even include not being able to use Smiting or Restoring Breath it will be fine. It would be easy to code, just give our Wyvern Amnesia under the effect of the JA for 3-5min and give it 15% Attack, +50-70 acc and +15-20% JA Haste maybe even throw in a decaying 25% Double Attack or a strong Store TP effect for extra love?
