7.1 Dragoon Changes Complaints

I shouldn't even need to explain this, frankly. I don't understand why these changes were even considered, it should be very obvious to anyone who plays this job why reducing LotD Windows to a single Nastrond usage is a horrible change. For starters, this makes the job significantly less fun at earlier levels. Job changes should be trying to give the jobs a higher level of engagement at lower levels, not a decrease in it. My level 70 burst window is now a single OGCD? Awful.

Plus, there were no people complaining about the DRG burst window to begin with even at level 100. Yes, it was a lot of buttons to press, but we all enjoyed that, it's the core identity of the job. And now that identity is being further reduced? Please, I am actually begging, revert these changes, and anyone who agrees with these concerns, engage with this thread to show the devs that this is not a welcome change to a job that many of us have been playing for over a decade.

I really have no idea who these changes are for. They are baffling. Dragoon's gauge is not very unique anymore with the removal of eyes, simply granting access to a few damaging oGCDs. Now, we don't even get to press them a lot. Genuinely awful change. I really hope they revert the nastrond change.

Dragoon lost it's gauge and animation locking jump focused burst window, spamming 3 nastronds back to back was the only thing keeping me awake during ucob/uwu.
There was clearly 0 thought put into this change and I can only assume it's a misguided attempt to make DRG more accessible for everyone(aka these changes are just for people who don't and still wont play the job), because God forbid a job might have its own audience and identity.

It should be reverted as soon as possible, removing buttons and then giving a slight dps increase doesn't feel good at all and it just makes the job even more braindead boring at all levels, which hurts lower levels the most.

If they wanted to get rid of something for button bloat, Mirage dive was right there. Why not cut that and leave Nastrond alone?

can they please stop changing jobs just because people that dont even play them complain? being busy is DRGs thing and this change will make it feel like awful at lower levels. if people didnt like how busy DRG was they could have gone play any other job. what melee am I suposed to play now?

they did fix it in Endwalker then people complained about that too and reverted it
no winning

Get rid of 2 Nastrond uses, but keep the lame Life Surge buttons. Cool. lmao

sad dragon :(

This change freaking sucks so bad.

I've been playing as Dragoon since HW and have been jerked around by SE and their changes to this class for 9 years. DT finally made DRG *fun* again for me, and *RIGHT* as I'm about to leave the game after another week or two of reclears, SE goes and ruins the class again just to leave a bitter taste in my mouth in the end.

Good riddance. RIP Dragoon. Hopefully SE will invigorate you once more u.u

Ive seen many bad takes in this game but removing charges from Nastrond just shows how the dev team dont play the game. If you guys want to make Dragoon less busy you guys have: Mirage Dive and 2 charges of Life Surge that doesnt make sense this skill to exist in the game of today. I dont know if anyone from SE will read this forum but if you do..... give us at least 2 charges of Nastrond. Dont ruin a perfect job.
