ATTN DEVS: Give DRG a bigger Dragon

[Rearden]

I think it's about time, what with all of these buffs to the PRINCE OF DD jobs (looking at you MNK and WAR and DRK) that d'goons finally got some love. So I was thinking, well, more or less daydreaming, that d'goons could get a bigger Dragon. It would be like a Wyvern 2.0x2.1 so basically it turns into Dragon v4.4.

Now I was also thinking that you could specialize this Dragon so it could be like, an enfeeble Dragon who basically is all on the back lines with the PRINCES of curing WHM (They are a whole 'nuther story and Red Mage etc that will be addressed in another discussion) or maybe you could have a tank Dragon just big and full of meat.

But my best idea (I know, how do I top what I've already got so far?) is a Dragon v4.4 mount. I know I know what you're thinking, "This is WoW rear..." but the mounted version isn't for traveling around its FOR DMG OK? So, you basically become Dragon Cavalry and BAM instant win button dranking that tigers blood and winning.

Don't take it for granite but I just really thinking d'goon needs some lovin'.

Thoughts?

lolwut?

Your idea is nifty though.

[Urteil]

Yes please.

[Yugl]

It's sad how badly the first two posters got trolled. I'm not surprised though. One is probably a melee RDM. The other looks like an emo-knight.

[Erecia]

Hehehe granite.

I kind of pagescummed it a bit, but I've been rather disappointed with the DRG's wyvern on the whole. Sure, elemental breaths add a nice little boost to my WS damage. 3000 drakesbane is better with 200 more damage, I guess. Sure, the little rat can heal me... if I'm below half... and he hasn't been killed by the AoEs. Honestly, the only difference I saw in my play when he was out cold was that my spirit/soul jumps weren't as awesome. That doesn't seem right.

Exactly!!!

Now..just think, turn around and listen! Imagine you rollan' into the new hardest boss man around and everynone is like "Hay guis where is Erecia?" and BOOMSTICK you roll into there yellin DODONGO DISLIEKS SMOEK" and your riding a Dragon doing lancer things as any lancer should.

Seems pretty sweet (smoke may actually mean bombs, it is unclear whether dodongo dislikes bombs or smoke)

ITT: You're not allowed to play along with a joke.

You're funny.

A third, if unlikely, possibility is that Dodongo has a very specific allergy and dislikes the smoke produced by bombs while being generally okay with smoke from other sources.

Are you playing along with my joke now?

Shh, don't tell anyone! ;)

Just because you're a troll and everything you do amounts to nothing.

Does not mean everyone shares the same frivolous, pointless, and incompetent outlook on life that you do.


The Wyvern looks like a stupid blue rat, and should be bigger or at least not look like a Disney Character.

That would make me level Drg <3!

[SpankWustler]

I think that this adult form (http://fim.413chan.net/art/src/131562689282-spike.png) would be the most appropriate.

inb4 bg crew etc.

Edit: Oh hell they moderated my sig? I dont understand why, but I've uploaded a cencored version.

[Odintius]

I do think they should introduce a meaner looking dragon to drg at 95 say a quest. The whole time when I see a drg I think to myself awe look at the baby dragon!

[Leonlionheart]

I think the wyvern should shrink and get the **** out of my camera view

[noodles355]

I think the wyvern should shrink and get the **** out of my camera viewTo be perfectly honest, I wish /ignorepet extended to my own wyvern.

[Modoru]

No.

10char

[Byrth]

To be perfectly honest, I wish /ignorepet extended to my own wyvern.

Considering there's almost no reason to ever target a pet of any kind, I'm not sure why it doesn't.

Hey, I think DRK should get their 2hr and SD fixed. I guess that's frivolous though.

[Ophannus]

I hate this thread because there's a 95% chance they'll consider this but not something useful like an offensive/defensive stance. SAM will get like Meditate II next patch and we'll get a stupid bigger Wyvern. Thanks OP.


I will say that I wish /ignorepet turned my Wyvern into a really strong Enthunder. And just added a random 20-260 damage to my weapon skills and Restoring Breath was just a Chakra with a 5 second cast time.

[Rearden]

I am sorry you don't agree with the topic because let us face it it is really really good :3

Also I am sorry but because 20-260damage are you kidding? This Cavalry Dragon would easily surpass that just by his menacing glare alone.

Again and also I am sorry but Chakra with 5s cast time? Chakra is an ability not a spell so let us just forget that because a) that is silly b) it is not a spell c) the healing dragon would heal way more d) anyone seen deez? e) Enthudnar is only used by Ryko and Grimace so if d'goons got it it would break the game f) meditate II IS coming next for SAM because SAM is not good anymore so lol what do you want to be the best like no one ever was?

[Leonlionheart]

i think this is a troll

[Sparthos]

You think? lol

Either way, im all for pet jobs having menacing pets so tiny Voiuvre companions go!

[Aver]

Rearden, you have inspired me to level dragoon again.

And I will imagine I have the biggest dragon in the game. And I will whip it out wherever I go.

<3

[Wolfandre]

No idea why, but I honestly laughed so hard at the OP's posts. All of them.



BOOMSTICK you roll into there yellin DODONGO DISLIEKS SMOEK"

This just became my new catchphrase.

[noodles355]

Considering there's almost no reason to ever target a pet of any kind, I'm not sure why it doesn't.
Probably a conflict with slecting a pet ability from the list, like Dismiss and not being able to select he target.

[Rearden]

i think this is a troll

Glad you liked my post :3

[Urteil]

There's hope for you yet.

[Vortex]

Screw that, i want a Wyrm to follow me as my pet on DRG, who's with me here? if we're going to get this done get it done right. so when i draksbane i want my pet to follow up with a spike flail.

[Rearden]

Ya!!! Great1 Vortex!

[Yugl]

There's hope for you yet.

Nope, it has to be trolling just like anyone who agrees with said comment.

[Coldbrand]

I think you should stop wasting our job's allotted dev time on vanity updates.

[Modoru]

Kindred Beastmaster would like to have a word with you. (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Kindred_Beastmaster)

[MDenham]

ITT: Rearden's compensating for having a small... wyvern.

[Broso]

I wish my drake looked like this: http://www.billboard.com/photos/artist/855020-drake.jpg

[Kaiichi]

You all make me sad. :(
