Example, if subbing Whm then Wyvern would have healing breath.

Edit: Now before you could just call your Wyvern at whim it USE to be what's known for all the non XI players as a 2 hour ability; they could do something similar here in XIV. This way calling your pet would be the "OH SHIT" moment only need not a consistent "partner" and slot filler in a PT.
the difference is no ones stats changed on whether or not the pet was called. if your wyvern died then you were gimped, if carby died you needed to get the hell out of there lol
