    Yea, the OP mentioned wyverns, not wyrms or puks.

    That dev response is much appreciated, any dev response is appreciated, but it still left a bitter taste, because it did not clear up anything.

    "Dragons, wyverns and wyrms are often confused by adventurers young and old." And then, "It should be noted that these wild wyvern are distinctly different from the domesticated pet wyvern, which are smaller and significantly more docile than their wild counterparts." (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org). Idk SE, seems like an excuse to me. Several ppl attested to contradictory game design. Specialization in XI is laughable; many jobs overlap and are quite good at what they do. blms,rdms, and geo use offensive magic; Dnc, brds, and thfs specialize in daggers; run specializes in great swords, but drks and wars are more damaging with them; mnk and pup both specialize in hand-to-hand; Nin was a dual wield specialist, but multiple jobs got them; except for bst of course.

    Imo, there is nothing SE could say to convince ppl otherwise, the only thing that can clear this up is action. Honestly, what can they say?

    Another thing, lets take a look at their jug pet track record; http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Category%3AFamiliars. Mostly lazy designs, the ready moves are sub-par and a plethora of those pets are repeats. I am by no means a game developer/producer, but what does it take to copy an existing pigmy wyrm into jug form? They recycle past jugs anyway.

    If drgs got the stuff mentioned in this thread http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...-Future-as-DD; I don't think they will give 2 craps about a naul jug.

    Ophannus brought up an interesting point; http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...l=1#post514059. Which brings me to this, could you imagine a drg with a naul or wyvern spamming breathe attacks? I would dump my bst in a heartbeat to play dragoon. No ready meter necessary, just need your own tp to be at 1000. Not to mention, a naul and wild wyvern are superior to any bst jug.

    If drgs received master and pet buffs that allowed them to compete at endgame, this would be a non-issue imo. Both of the jobs are in the dumps hence everyone is reaching/fighting for any scraps they can get.

    Boost drgs and give us a naul; it is not that serious, really.........many past final fantasy titles had overlapping jobs, including this one. What specialization? Translation, we do not want to add them, so we are not, ok? I mean, I can take the truth, if they do not want to add them, just say so, specialization is extremely contradictory.
