Still none of the needed changes?

adapt or find a new class.

No offense, but this is just rude. If someone doesn't like the way something is designed, there is absolutely nothing wrong with expressing that. Especially if it's a job they previously loved and it ruined their fun. Complexity simply for the sake of it isn't something everyone enjoys, even if they're perfectly capable of adapting to it. I don't know about you, but RNG positionals that do the exact same thing doesn't sound like my idea of fun gameplay. Remember this is a video game, not a masochism simulator. It's supposed to be fun to play your job.

If someone doesn't like Wanderer's Minuet, Enochian, or any other mechanic, I'd encourage them to speak up as well. We shouldn't be shouting down people that aren't having fun with the changes to their jobs. It's healthy to have this kind of feedback. The developers need to know what players do and don't like so they can make this game the best it can be.

The problem is when people don't really try seriously to adapt. Lots of people try out the new way, don't like the change, and immediately head to the forums demanding that the class be "fixed" back to the way it used to be, even though most experienced players of the class have learned to adapt and actually enjoy the new play style.

I agree that there are valid tweaks that can be requested, for example the potency change on missed positionals was way too punishing before, but this thread is basically asking for the entire 50+ mechanics of the dragoon to be scrapped and rebuilt. SoE is not going to do that.

I do realize that the first group content you hit at 60 (reactor, neverreap, bismark ex, ravana ex) is not friendly at all to maintaining buffs with all of the invulnerability phases.

The challenge is to learn when to use the buffs, and knowing what to what to do when you don't have the buff up. It is frustrating at first, but as you learn the fight and the timings, it becomes easier. You learn things like when to hold back on a GK so that the botd buff will last through a phase change, or waiting a second to see if you get tunneled in A4, etc. It's more dynamic.

To me, that's what makes the class more interesting to play than the level 50 version of h-idc-p-ttt-h-ttt-p-idc-h-ttt-ttt combo of old.
