Why do you taunt us DRG's so?

Toh Y Thrah



Why must you taunt us with perfect wyvern sized companions for our DRGS. Really miss the Wyvern pet style fighting combat that was associated with DRG in some past ff games!

I'm guessing there's already been threads about this topic but I just saw this guy and now the struggle is real.

This is for wishing some day we get our wyvern companions!

There's almost no excuse now for why DRG's don't have a wyvern fighting alongside them.

You mean aside from the excuse of, "This isn't XI."? XI is the only Final Fantasy that had Dragoons with pet wyverns. All other incarnations their gimmick was being a heavy damage jumper. That said, you're far enough in the story that you do have a wyvern pet, it's just the purest form of a pet in that it's just a pet.

Omg lol I've never realize that! But at this very moment I don't think we will ever see it, maybe in a future when new abilities come down or skill trees perhaps

Because a dragoon trying to manage a pet hotbar can only end one way:

I imagine it's because you joined a centuries-old military order sworn to exterminate their race.

Considering how resilient pets are in FFXIV compared to FFXI, it COULD work, but it would mean scaling back our damage CONSIDERABLY to make room for the damage contribution of a pet. I mean, MCH and SMN DPS by themselves is much lower than say MNK or DRG, but their Turret/Egi help close the gap. No way could DRG have 390 potency combo finishers and 200-250 damage oGCDs AND have a pet...

If they ever do level 70 cap, then maybe they can rebalance it (give Wyvern breaths i.e. Holy Breath, Reis Wind, etc), but still, no thanks.

The original Dragoon in FF2 had a wyvern, and Jump didn't show up until FF3's dragoon. Not that I think FFXIV needs a wyvern pet for dragoons by any means, but there is precedent besides FFXI.

Msq so far has been wanting for peace with them. Guess im not far enough ahead. Not sure why people automatically assume they will require a pet bar or any actions at all. They can be full auto. Guess im just the minority

FFXI only had a pet because the storyline lore of DRG was that Dragoons and their Wyverns were a binary system. Thus, only through training and spiritually bonding with a Wyvern was a Dragoon able to develop and become such an elite warrior. 75-80% of all of Dragoon's abilities in FFXI centered around the Wyvern, and even the story revolved around hatching a Wyvern egg and investigating the Holy Crest of the Last Dragoon and why he had to slay his Wyvern companion when it stopped baring said crest (probably because the Wyvern recognized his master was slaying his compatriots in a stupid Civil War and thus did not deem his master's actions as noble or just.

At any rate, Wyvern worked for FFXI because REALLY, DRG was an expansion job that was another 2handed weapon, high delay, DPS job. They wanted to differentiate it from WAR or DRK, so it was something else than just a slow hitting high damage melee -- so they made them a bit weaker (fewer abilites/traits/lower strength and attack/mediocre weapon skills) and gave them a pet which was intended to make up the damage gap, but tl;dr is...it never did until maybe 1-2 years ago, so FFXI DRGs pretty much sucked for about a decade.
