What DRG still needs.

[Silkavenger]

Hmmm. Just playing devil's advocate and looking for clarification/expansion on a few points.

1) Re: drg survivability. I have noticed as you stated my wyvern often times out-survives me in VW. I ahve not noticed, however, that I am being out-survived by other heavy DD jobs in the same environment. How much -PDT/-MDT% are you wearing during these events?

2) Re: Attack peanalty on WS. As this is a common trait on all mythic WS, i don't think this should be revised for drg or any other job for the sake of preserving the power of the mythic weapons themselves. I do like the idea of a native atk trait/JA that boosts our atk through ignoring defense or something of that nature. Should focus on that.

3) Re: (Job Ability) Valiance. How in practice is this any different than Super Jump? In a solo situation, they seem exactly the same. If we are talking about the wyvern eating AoE for us during VW, I refer back to my first point: How much already available -PDT/-MDT% are you wearing before a fundamental change to the game is implemented?

Do you mean a literal Attack penalty, a penalty to the statistic "Attack" that resides next to a useless weirdo known as Mr. Defense in the magical land of status screen? Do you mean something much more vague such as "does mediocre damage" when referring to this property that Mythic weaponskills have?

Assuming you're being literal and referring to Mr. Defense's much more pleasant neighbor and, then no, that's not the case. Ascetic's Fury and possibly the first hit of Stringing Pummel actually receive an attack bonus.

Anyway, an Attack penalty definitely is not a universal trait of Mythic weaponskills.
