Dragoons... how do you feel post 4.0?

[Arkfrost]

I already dumped a salt mine on reddit that could have made me the richest person on earth 500 years ago.

Since I started playing this game Dragoon was my main.
When I started playing the level 60-69 Dragoon I thought the changes were amazing. It was really fun to play.

Then I reached level 70 and it hit me like a truck in the back. Suddenly Dragoon became the least fun class I ever played. This Life of the Dragon / Nastrond / Eyes mechanic makes dragoon so frustrating to play. It has a ridiculously long buildup time, it has zero reward until you reach 4 eyes and enter LotD, the reward you get is so miniscule that it feels like a really bad joke and if you lose BotD anywhere on that path you get absolutely nothing from all that buildup.

I am serious: I am not playing Dragoon anymore. Those changes are frustrating and make me want to stop playing, because it's frustrating as hell to lose dragon eyes in dungeons and in long transition phases on bosses.


Ah and on a side another thing about something people posted in this thread: I don't get what's your problem with mirage dive and its animation. I don't know, but for me the animation is absolutely no problem - in contrary: it's actually the opposite of a problem, because at least for me mirage dive interrupts all other skill animations and I can click it the instant I use any GCD and after MD i have like 1,5 seconds of empty space where I can for example pop any buff. I can even almost double weave a jump afterwards. The clip on the next GCD for me is only like 0,1 seconds.
