Dragoon Manifesto thoughts

You're not playing with "pimped DRKs" then.

I've played with the pimpest of DRKs, DRG still seems to out do them.

Gimp DRGs? That's the topic; not a well geared DRG.

I'm sure its odd to parse with a weapon that has instant KO..?

Why would I call Twilight Scythe users the pimpest of DRKs?

Caladbolg or go home, srsly.

Don't know, don't play DRK, and rarely seem them (pre- and post- abyssea) anyway

This thread derailed quite a bit. Dragoon's, stop picking on the Dark Knights.

Dark Knight right now, both in and out of Abyssea still requires a lot of work. It's currently being readjusted so that it can be a better job all around. It hasn't obtained any major updates to make it a very devastating job.

This thread should focus on what type of boosts Dragoon requires, what would be good ideas in a full spectrum area all around.

2 Hour Revising? Magical Haste -> Ability Haste -> Making full use of Jump High Jump Super Jump Spirit Jump and Soul Jump during 2hr without Jump High Jump affecting the recast of Spirit and Soul Jump. Added Effects to Spirit and Soul Jump to coincide with Spirit Surge.

Wyvern Revising, beefing our little guy making him stronger, faster, better! Earthern Armor/Scherzo lines of defense as an ability or basic triat.

Wyvern Breaths, adding Light and Darkness Elemental Breaths that Trigger during "Light or Darkness Skill Chains"?

Adding potentially enfeebling abilities/strikes to Wyvern's hits/Breaths not limited to Elemental Defense Down.

Addition for new job traits, abilities that enhance needed status effects!

Dragoon Stances!?

I mean, this thread can go places, if the general public in here cares to voice out reasonable additions to the job.

Team Work!

Honestly never have teamed up with a drk in aby :/ the reason I have been considering quitting drg was multiple things. If we could just be brought up to an even level in aby, atmas, gear, whatever, even job traits I would most likely re-pull the job out and try my luck on it. Like when the new update comes out with level cap increase I will bring her back out to repimp her for 99 first over any of my other 90s. I am not saying this is the same for all servers about parties or saying I am lousy. I am decent on dragoon, not perfect, but put me up against some mobs outside aby and that's when I feel dragoon rains and shines supreme. This game was not designed for soloers that I do know and I fully believe to this day to be true but when you have to because no one wants to team up on mobs even with the gear/items being free lot except for certain seals here and there you start to feel outta place referring to offering gil and lots of it or (in my instance my service of whm to whatever mob they want for hours on end just for one or two seals.) Probably because I am a nice person but very few instances when a dragoon can sit in jeuno and do shouts for hand seals, body seals, leg seals, feet seals, or head seals help and actually get help. Now enough about my reasons because other then aby I have nothing to complain on with it.
What I would like to see is some job traits added though to put us on a little bit of level ground with others.
Job Traits: (names can be changed for these later)
Emergency Evasion: if your character drops below 40% health your evasion increases by 50% and your regen you automatically have increases how much hp you recieve with +5% tic increase instead of it's current. This gives the dragoon an advantage that if they are in a sticky situation to move out of it and hopefully get in range of a healer or escape the pending death by mass dance/heals. If equipped with eva atmas this stacks on top of it.This trait stays in effect till hp recovers to 75%.
Emergency Attack: hp drops below 40% our attack increases by 50% untill hp is back at 75%. This does stack with the atmas just like the other.
Wyvern traits:
Emergency breath: if wyvern's hp hits below 40% she cast healing breath III on her self, this will not interrupt or interfere with other breaths caused by weapon skilling or forced breaths. It will also allow the dragoon to spirit link without worry that it will be too late to save their little comrade.

Other then that I can't really complain but I felt like tossing my two cents out there as ideas. Sense these are traits they won't take up needed macro slots or give us insane list of j.a. to have to scroll through. I feel they would put us up on a decent level with the other jobs and yes I do know we have atmas and gear to help with it already but with these little add-ons I would gladly pull my dragoon out of retirement for a good old aby party any day. ^.^ Outside aby I use the job a ton it's only inside aby I've had to hang up the job.
