Rather have Dragoon be powerful. I don't want to be gimped by having a pet..that is what SMN and BST are for. Dragoon should be pure DD. Please Yoshi do not gimp Dragoon with a pet!
YES TO THE PET!
It's not even about DPS. It's about not being completely gimped if your rat dies to AoE, it's about knowing that Yoshida already had something in the works for Dragoon involving high-crit moves, it's about the general character of the job being consonant with what the originating class has spent most of its time doing.
If there's a job somewhere down the line with a Wyvern pet? Awesome, more power to them. In the meantime, nobody's interested in recapitulating FFXI's DRG. Been there, done that, hugged the cute little blue dragonling that'll never grow up and look fierce at all.
If the wyvern dies and has a huge recast timer like in FFXI...well id rather not. If they can do it right, in either way aka: a pet that doesnt drop like a stone and has varied uses or making the player have things like breath attacks, then im fine with it. As much as i loved DRG in FFXI, i know the wyverns had some big flaws.
If more DPS = bigger package, then having a dragon pet = fanboi Pokemon dress up party.
When I play a class/job I want to have a specialized role in the party and be the best I can be at it. If I have the choice of doing more crit damage thereby knowing my role and affirming my place in the party OR having a pet that cripples my overall abilities because the devs have to keep re-balancing my class to give me identity in a party... I think I choose option A.
I'm all for having my little pet again if they can make it way better than xi's. More customizeable and more versatile. Maybe even having the power to control it sometimes. Also I want it to grow and to be able to ride it! But I doubt that will happen
No pet for Dragoon.
They will introduce Summoner & Beastmaster eventually. We do not need three f-cking pet jobs, period.
Wyvern was fun, and very convenient for soloing in XI. I would like to have it back, but maybe it's more nostalgia.
In party situations I did not really care about my wyvern, and jobs are supposed to be tuned for party play.
