I actually played DRG during the penta spam era and it was highly exaggerated. Sure DRG could get back 60 or so TP with a 492 lance back then( I think they adjusted the Delay:TP ratio a few patches later, but DRG/SAM got back ~60TP from Penta Thrust so assuming it was ~12TP/hit with STP2. Penta Thrust did on average 450-650 damage which wasn't that much, on Decorative Weapons(with /WAR maybe 700-900, higher if DA proc).

But, what are we saying, SE has had no love for DRG since they gimped Penta Thrust all those years ago.

DRG was a lot like RUN when it was released. It was a very incomplete job. In fact, it was so incomplete that in all of the trailers for Rise of Zilart, whenever they showed SAM/NIN/DRG, the former were in full AF but DRG was in Bastokan Scale armor. Everyone thought DRG's AF was the scale armor cuz they didnt show the AF(cuz it wasn't done yet).

Since then DRG has gotten a lot, so there is love for DRG, just not as much love as SAM. If you want a list of things DRG got from 2002-2014 here's what I can remember off the top of my head:

Spirit Link was added(used to only be able to heal wyvern by resting; losing TP and DPS...)
Wyvern was given Super Climb during DRG's Super Jump
Super Jump recast shortened from 5 to 3 minutes
Call Wyvern was reduced from two hours to 20 minutes

Wheeling Thrust changed from a 1.0fTP to 1.75fTP
Skewer changed from "Accuracy varies with TP" to "Critical hit chance varies with TP"

Wyvern could be dismissed if at 100% and Call Wyvern timer would be reset to 0:00
Wyvern Emotes!

Probably a bunch more but can't remember them. Also I'm leaving out all of the updates after 2011 since you're probably aware of them.
