| The type of breath your wyvern does depends on your subjob.
There are three types of modes your wyvern can be in.
Offensive mode (sub: war, mnk, thf, rng, bst, brd, sam, nin, smn)
Recovery/Heal mode (sub: whm, rdm, blm)
All-purpose mode (sub: pld, drk)
Offensive mode:
Whenever you use a WS, your wyvern does a breath attack. It could be one of any of the elements excluding light and dark.
Recovery/heal mode:
Whenever you do a WS, and if you are sticken with a negative status (blind, paralyze, poison), your wyvern does "cure breath", a status recovery move.
If you or any of your party members' HP is below 1/3, and you use a magic spell, your wyvern will use "heal breath", an HP recovery move. As you level up, your wyvern will learn heal breath II, heal breath III, etc, increasing the amount of healing it does.
All purpose mode:
You get to use the offensive breath attacks when you use a WS, but you don't get the status recovery "cure breath"
If you or any of your party members' HP is below1/4, and you use a magic spell, your wyvern will use its heal breath HP recovery move.
Perhaps you were subbing redmage, whitemage, or blackmage, and since you didn't have any negative status effects, your wyvern did nuttin' |
