Dragoons... how do you feel post 4.0?

[IchiExorz]

I see 3 problems with Life of the Dragon.
1)It takes too long to activate
2)It adds very little in terms of damage or rotation
3)Nastrond is nearly useless as an AoE ability.

Maybe some basic changes could be reducing the amount of eyes needed by 1 and changing Nastrond into a single target attack with 400-500 potency or something.

I have an interesting idea that would make the DRG rotation a lot more interesting but I really doubt SE would change anything big at this point.

Edit: DRG also has big problems with downtime during a fight if BoTD & LoTD or when they die (not as bad as SMN when it comes to dying though. But i guess the point is to stay alive and not die.

960 aoe potency without fall off useless? When you use it in every pull after the first one? It's 3 times better than dragonfire dive x'D

Nastrond, when it's even up, is about half as good as Doom Spike + Sonic Thrust (300 potency / 5s = 60 pps, 320 potency / 10s = 32 pps). Plus, as long as as BotD maintenance is an absolute requirement to use Nastrond, you have to go single-target to use it... through multiple AoE situations. It's a perverse incentive.
