Would you say that pet wyverns have the best buffs versus the other pets with shorter recasts?
There was already a post earlier this month that stated "automaton's defense is quite high" compared to other pets. A quick comparison of /checkparams showed that my wyvern had slightly higher def over Balloon's automaton, and this was before any JA buff or parameter boost. (of course there was the whole confusion about Pro/Shell, and Camate has since edited his post to strike out that whole paragraph so I don't know if that is still the devs' sentiment or not about which pet has the best defense)

Would you say that our current buffs + incoming August buff + a 10-15 minute recast would be enough for the job? Does it seem fair in comparison to the MNKs, RNGs, SAMs, whatever stomping all over content?
I know you're trying to give us a reality check so we don't get our hopes too high (and remind us to use the tools at our disposal), but you've also written some really good posts about how to update the job so it will catch up. Would a 10 minute or less recast be that game-breaking? Even you have pointed out how harshly the master is penalized for 20 minutes versus any other job in the game.

I'd be kinda curious to see a comparison chart of pet stats versus recast times and all that.
