said it in the other thread you posted this in, saying it again. do you even know how to balance? 20% increase to all stats for 10 seconds(or any amount of time) for the whole group is broken as all hell. ignoring everything else because those changes are just stupid.

I think you're high because that much of a boost for 10s every 4m really isn't OP. You sound mad, brah.

Sheesh you don't have to gut the job. If drg doesn't do enough damage, slightly buff potency across the board and call it a day. It's not rocket science.

Removing Power Surge and the HT / ID requirement?

... do you even DRG??

Power Surge is an awful skill. Just like all "press this button on CD or have sub-par dps" skills. It's uncreative and boring game design.

I agree, buff the jumps and take away power surge, replace it with an actual off gcd attack,

please show me a skill that boosts damage, healing, health, and general survivability all in one that is balanced. note, you said all stats.

No it is pretty standard in RPGs to have skills that only buff you. Hell some people want the Support role in this game that only does that.

Honestly the changes to dragoon should be very simple, they either need to bring some kind of raid utility or they need to have a huge potency increase to all of their abilitys. I'd be okay with either of these or if they did a little bit of both. Its easy to be creative in this with skills or replace existing skills with something more in-tune to how things are progressing.

The magic defence also needs to come up quite a bit. Its not fair to my raid group that because of my lack luster m.def that they should suffer. while I can't say what is or isn't a good number but I can however give a few final coil stories about my dragoon and how I've been 1 shot by mechanics from full HP at i113, that I have no way of mitigating myself, and must rely on stoneksin or adlo, and even more in some cases. In T10 there is a mechanic called prey, it deals full magic dmg. It does a small hit, for about 500-700 and is followed by a larger hit which applys an un-dispelable paralyze. If you do not mitigate the first hit, there is a very good chance I will die from the full brunt of the attack, which is easily 6k or more dmg. I have survived this with very little hp, it varies on how forgiving the game is. And on a side note if anybody dies in T10 during the final phase the boss does a raid wide aoe, applying lighting resitance down on everybody, so if somebody else dies, I will most likely die to every other mechanic the boss does as well.

In T11, after phase 2 is done, the boss does a move called Nerve cloud, its is a guaranteed 100% crit. This move need to mitigated much like Mega flare from T9, Stoneskins and succor and sacred soil. Even that is not enough for me. I need my own personal adlo, and even THAT with stoneskin is not enough. I also need Apocostasis from our blackmage and Virus/dragon kick on the boss to lower the attacks dmg. With all of that combined just to keep 1 person alive, you have to ask if its even worth it to play dragoon at all.

These are just a few of my stories and hopefully we see a change sooner than later, I don't want to see this wait till Heavensward, the damage will be done already by that time. somebody should tell the main character in their CG's to not change to dragoon and stay a warrior.

heavy thrust gives 50% dmg boost, the most easiest buff if SE goin lazymode!

This needs to be addressed sooner rather than later, this class can't afford to wait 3 months for fixes. There will likely not be a re-design of the class in any meaningful way, it'd be nice but after watching what happened to Black Mages there will probably be just potency buffs. Simply adjusting numbers shouldn't take 3 months. These things get hotfixed incredibly quickly in other big budget titles.
