Talk:Adds Support Job Abilities To Wyvern

There has always been a lot of mystery as to what exactly this trait does. Bronto has written a wonderful description of his experimentation with this trait that was originally posted on Allakhazam.com:

-- I've had the Wyrm Mail for a few weeks now, and experimentation I've done has made me suspect that ALL support job traits are added to your wyvern, but only if you're wearing the mail when you use the "Call Wyvern" ability.

/MNK - Wyvern HP is increased. I think in the above information, because Bronto had equipped the armour after calling his wyvern, he didn't get the effect. I've not noticed any Counter effects, but I rarely get Counter when I'm MNK main so it could just be me.

/RDM - Unfortunately, your wyvern will not get Fast Cast. Healing Breath is a job ability not a spell, so is unaffected.

/WAR - Double Attack on your wyvern is one of the greatest things you get from this bit of gear. Increases your damage by a load, and it seems to trigger about as often as it does for me as DRG/WAR. Attack Bonus adds to this too.

/SAM - This is probably the easiest one to prove, using it's obvious that the wyvern has Store TP, and Zanshin means he strikes again when he miss a lot. So my wyvern definitely gets at least two job traits from the Wyrm Mail.

Another note, you don't need to wear the armour the whole time to get the effects - just have it on when you Call Wyvern. After that, you can switch back to your normal gear.

I've recently come to realise that your wyvern loses the support job traits if you zone. So if you plan on fighting with these effects, make sure you equip Wyrm Mail and Call Wyvern every time you change area.

I realise a lot of what I've written is available elsewhere, but not on here - I can confirm that these points are true though, and if you're on Phoenix, I'll show you.

a side note, for the red mage & Black Mage support jobs they do get job traits, 1st they receive Resist Petrify (tested with petro eyes) for RDM sub and Magic Defense bonus. for blm sub one can only assume it receives magic attack bonus... but your pet doesn't do elemental breaths when subbing blm.


 * How can you test resist petrify? You can't know how long it would have lasted in the first place. Kylep2 08:19, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Getting the "Resist!" message would mean Resist Petrify kicked in. Also, shouldn't all of this be on the talk page? Dogtato 09:42, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure you can resist any spell with a very small chance. The chance increasing when you're a much higher level than the mob obviously. However, I could be totally wrong, I have several 75 jobs and can't really recall all the instances I've resisted seemingly for no other reason than just that there's always a small chance.Dwolfwood 23:49, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
