Please don't assume that you know facts. I'm familiar with PLENTY of pet LS's that recruit DRGs whether it's for high DPS, healing, or temp tanking. Again, none of this would be possible without our Wyverns.

Your argument that DRGs are not pet jobs because we can't control our Wyvern is moot. Adventuring fellows cast buffs/heals of their own accord, we have no control over it. For DRGs we can use smiting or Healing breaths to heal/use an attack whenever we want. Not to mention that our 2hr is completely dependent upon our PET. Please give me a list of jobs who's 2hrs is based upon their adventuring fellows.

Right. There are none.

Keep in mind that our strongest job abilities (Soul and Spirit jumps) are completely contingent upon our wyverns to be decent in effectiveness.

Simply because DRG is COMPLETELY dependent upon their Wyverns does not mean that it isn't a pet job. We control what our Wyverns do whether it's directly (Smiting breath, Healing Breath) or indirectly (Weaponskilling, casting a spell below a certain amount of HP, using Super jump)
By no means am i trolling . Im just throwing my 2 cents out there and backing up what im saying is all, unlike some of these other post here that give no sound counter argumnet and have to resort to belittling the other posters opions or comments with name calling or the "no your wrong and I'm right" with no opion of their own.

So thanks for replying with a sound argument.

Moving on ^^,

As for Pet LS recruiting drgs, that's new to me cause most LS of the type use the throw a pet at the mob till it dies method to kill things, and I dont really see how drg fits into that setup. maybe there is stratagy where a drg can tank somehow but wouldnt a pld or nin be more suited if a tank is absolutly need? Sorry i dont have much experience with drg tanks and i havent seen many tank. Besides if you stagger the pets you dont really need a tank in most cases.

Your second paragraph comes back to my glorified adventuring fellow statement. The drg 2hr doesnt do anything to enhance the pet but yourself unlike smn bst and pup where their 2hr ability enhances their pets. Its more of a Ima eatchu to make me poke harder sort of thing. Soul Jump and Spirit Jump can both be used without the wyvrn present unlike smn bst and pup witch have to have thier pets present to use their abilities. So the wyvrn is there to cheer you on so you hit harder and attack like an adventuring fellow. With the adition of being able to control your breath attacks now is where the glorified is coming from.

So you are not 100% dependent on your flying friend unlike pup bst and smn who with out their pets are pretty much usless. Sure we can poke things with our weapons, not as good as a drg, all our abilities go down the hole, but drgs doesnt. This furthers the fact that its more of an upped Adventuring fellow compared to a pet.
