my complaint about dragoons

[Sabaoth]

1.- There is a good argument for Dragoons to not have wyvern pets, that is, Dragoon kill wyverns not train them, this is not "How to train your dragon".
2.- Jumps have been always an Offensive move, the evasion granted by them is a bonus to it, but the whole idea behind Jump is to get airborn to strike foes from above with increased strenght.

1) That example, again, falls short. That's like saying, "Hunters hunt animals, they do not train them." And yet...almost every example of a "Hunter" class, ranging from the core basics of RPGs (Dungeons and Dragons), to almost everything else: Boom, animal pet. If it helps you hunt, then of course you'd train the animal.

Look at our relationship with dogs, and tell me otherwise. I'm not saying Dragoons should get a pet, just that arguments for or against tend to not carry much weight. As you just demonstrated.

2) As for Jumps always being an offensive move primarily, that is also wrong. Originally, Jump was a move that would literally remove you from combat (therefor, you'd do no damage for a few turns--great for the offense, I hear) to, if used wisely, negate an attack on your person, and then appear along with an attack of your own. Its a very bad offensive move, but a great defensive one--mechanically. Also, mechanically, there are literally no "airborne" targets in this game.

On both accounts, your logic falls short.

And did you just argue against the logic that if one is not physically present to be damaged by an attack, they should not be damaged by it? If not, then what was the point of your #2?
