My feelings are on par with xaander. It seems like we constantly get worthless adjustments while other jobs get even more buffs that are already ssj9000 that can tank+ do more damage+more damage just from tanking. Even if you could heal up to 1/3 of the health of a wyvern+spirit link(with a redundant 3min recast) it doesn't stop the fact that just a few aoe hits can kill it or be typically one shotted by any normal hnm type mob. The thing i'm more annoyed about is the fact that wyvern recast is still 20 minutes. When the wyvern itself only deals out like 1% of the overall damage in an alliance of a few or more empyrean weapons+1 minute heal breath recast that doesn't really hold an impact except for when you use spirit link on it or everyone is brb for 5 minutes in dynamis. Not to mention still be easily killed and gimping up your damage even more(ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GOT RYUNOHIGE AND AF3 ARMOR). I know this job is kind of a solo job(hopefully still considered a dd job), but what can a drg solo that a ninja can't(implying drg can solo anything)? If you try to par it with any other job in terms of damage you'd still be pretty disappointed when twilight set comes into play.
From what I understand, when is hate really an issue in any part of the game besides hnm? Most of the time your ally dd have twilight set which dieing will reset their hate anyway, and once they get back up and swing at it they have hate again even IF the pld knows what he is doing.. If your job was meant to lower the hate of other people, I don't think it would work out very well especially when you have horrible recast timers. The only person i'd imagine using the jump hate reducers for would be the white mage concentrated solely on the pld and you probably won't even be in their party for it to work anyway.
