im a 24 drg with 200tnl, but cant play atm cuz my damn dirty visa expired><. but anyway, i was wondering, is it possible to kill urself doing spirit link?
for all those dragoons out there that get pissed cause there wyvern dies and they cant summon it back, heres a nice trick, you can spirit link, get it to full life, then dismiss it. Doing that allows him to be recast instantly, as long as he is at full health.
My friend (60DRG) used this the other day and said it healed his wyvern for alot more than it took. He thinks it's because he had stoneskin on at the time (i'm assuming his PT had a SMN, since he subs WAR).
From my experiences, I've noticed it depends on both you and your wyverns' HP. At low lvls (25-35) you can use it when your wyvern is at about 70% HP and it won't make much of a difference. It'll be about a 1:1 ratio, but unless your wyvern is down to about 20% HP you will always lose more life than your wyvern gains. At higher lvls (40-75) it is still good to have, but it gets to be more of a minus than a plus. For me now, (im lvl 45) when I'm at say.....90% health and my wyvern is at about 50%, it'll take about 300 HP from me, and give my wyvern about 200. So, towards the higher end lvls, it gets to be about a 3:2 or even a 2:1 ratio if your unlucky.
So, to wrap things up, here is a recap: lvls 25-40: good thing to have around, speed things up. Doesn't really matter when you use it, just make sure you it's used well. lvls 40-75: Timing becomes more key here. By this time, you should have it down pat, but try to wait til your wyvern is at least at 50% or less HP to use it.
Hope this helped out at least a little. Please rate it!
Whats the details on this ability, does it transfer a set ammount of hp to ur wyvern? Does it transfer enough hp to make ur wyvern get 100% HP? Is the transfer Rate 1:1 or higher?
from my expirence using it, it seems to transfer about 25-30% of my HP to my Wyvern, the rations doesn't seem to be 1:1... i've had instances where he was healed for more then i loss.
most of the times, i'm using it and my wyvern gets like 60% back.
i'll need to do some more tests, but i'm guessing the amount taken is based on how my HP% you got.
That's for sure the most usefull aby of the Dragoon in party ^^. ByBy downtimes or wyvern killed cause casters can't heal her. Now whm got to heal you in time so you don't die in place of the wyvern lol.
