I was wondering if anyone knew exactly why a BST pet sometimes randomly performs its Sic ability when Sic has not been used (this does not count the act of using it early or on a prevous mob that was killed before the Sic could be used). I actually just had an incident where my pet randomly used its ability right before I used Sic, resulting in two of the same ability within 2 seconds of each other. This has happened before and I'm certainly not complaining, but this has been a pain in the past with pets randomly performing AoE abilities.

If you use sic and the pet doesn't have 100+ TP it will wait until it does to use an ability. This can result in a large time delay between the use of sic and the pet using the ability. But that makes this case seems even more strange since the pet usually needs 100+ TP to use an ability. I'm not sure what kind of TP return claw cyclone gives to a pet, but I'd imagine it isn't so much that it could do another ability one second later.

I'm thinking now that its either some glitch or just a buildup or an automatic thing that happens after the pet has had 300% TP after a long period of time. This happened after Saber had the 300% TP available for a long while, which usually seems to be the case when it does happen. I rarely find it happening with charmed pets when exping due to the short amount of time they stay charmed.

Actually, at the levels before you had Sic, a pet could use TP randomly, but usually would not until it had a lot of it for a while.

That seemed to stop after learning Sic, but maybe it's glitched in campaign.

Otherwise, what was already said about using it before 100% TP (not on a blm pet), it will use it when it hits 100

The mayfly does it as well., I've seen it do 2 cursed spheres one after another.
Which does look cool.
