Quoting myself because people don't read old posts.

If you gave us something else, it's gonna fall into one of these categories:
1. Messes with the current *beautiful* rotation, making things wonky and gross.
2. New utility move that makes Dragoons more attractive than they already are (90% of raid groups run one because BL+BRD/MCH buff).
3. New worthless skill like Feint that will *never* be used outside of certain situations which would actually still end up falling under 2 if it's *useful*.
4. New oGCD skill to boost our dps by a marginal amount we don't need to be boosted by while forcing us to squeeze YET ANOTHER skill into the first 24s of the fight.

None of those options are good. I want none of that.

Give me a legitimate thing we as Dragoons would WANT TO SEE as a fifth skill, and I'll maybe say your argument has merit. Give me an idea that doesn't fall into one of the four categories above and I'll listen.
People are annoyed by it because it makes the class trickier to play than it was pre-3.0. Literally every post complaining about it can be boiled down to exactly that. Every single one of them will quote this and say, "No, it doesn't make it trickier or harder, it makes it just so annoying." That's the exact same argument. I can't use it properly and therefore, it is broken. This is faulty logic, so let's stop justifying such baseless rancor.
