Drg

+ any mage subjob = wyvern casting spells.......DRG/WHM = wyvern casts healing breeze for

and INSANE amount of HP recover (seen 500+ in the level 50's)

Only downfall of this is that you lose the breath weapon if you go strictly mage.

If you want the best of both worlds, i'd suggest DRG/DRK.

High damage, High STR, high hate.

But you get breath attacks and healing breath.

And it's not a very widely used sub.

BRD, DRK and PLD get healing breath with spells, and attack breath with TP attacks.

Not sure as to square's original reasons for it, but i'd imagine since the original classes are a blend between melee and magic, that would pass on that attribute to the wyvern.

for more info as to which SUB will influence what kind of wyvern you have

On my server i´ve seen most high lv(lv70+) Drgs sub Warrior when they are partying. As when soloing. I definitely say Drg/Whm rules as other high lv Drgs agreed when i asked them.

~300 at 61 with a 30WHM sub (Healing Breath III). Not that insane but useful.

I use DRG/NIN.

WHY DO IT?:

1-LOW/NO HATE. My Wyvern gets more aggro than I do.

2-Dual-Wield=More ATKs, Less Time, Greater DOT. *especially after the DW abil. stack.

3-It's a STYLE-THING, some PCs don't understand that.


WHY NOT?:

4-Landing a Damaging hit is sketchy, but then again-WHO HITS A MOB EVERY TIME FOR THE DURATION OF THE BATTLE? Answer: NO ONE DOES!!

5-Jump CAN DO less dmg than with a PLM. *see number 4.

6-Some PC who thinks they know more than you about what YOU WANT out of YOUR FFXI experience might advise so strongly against it that you buckle under the pressure-and maintain conventional job classes and sub jobs.


btw, right now I'm DW in Qufim with Poison Dagger (M), and Iron Sword (S).
