Dragoon pet

[Andrien]

I pass on the pet. I choose power and strength.

I would like to not have a wyvern either. I don't want Dragoons to be the same as in FFXI, even if I did love them to death. But I want a new change of pace!

SO first Yoshia says no main avatars like ifrit what not.. now we might not get a pet for the dragoon class? Whats going on with my pet classes???

Not happy

No Wyvern please. When I started FFXI I was deadset on playing both DRG and PLD--I had just come from several marathon clears of Dynasty Warriors 4 and I'm still a fan of Ma Chao, who's Kain Highwind spraypainted in gold and JUSTICE. When I actually saw how the classes worked though, I almost never played DRG. Having to balance it around the pet weakened what should have been one of the strongest attackers into a class that was ostracized for years.

FFXI had a unique gimmick for DRG, but that was FFXI's gimmick. Let's stick more to a general Final Fantasy theme of Dragoons being strong polearm users that can use Jump and maybe some draconic-themed abilities. No need to put the pet in just because FFXI had it.

Why do I have a feeling that most of you wyvren haters wont even touch lancer/dragoon once samurai comes out or when the DD classes are changed around in .20 :P I'd like to see what plans they have with the wyvren first before I decide.

I'd rather be stronger and have (dragon like / dragon slaying) abilities. Don't get me wrong I love my wyvern in xi, but I don't think it's worth losing power just to have a pet. I'd rather be a really heavy DD.

Maybe if they have the Dragoon without the pet but he can call upon it if he wants to have the pet fight by his side.

When u call ur pet the stats get split and if you dont u remain a powerful dragoon?

maybe dragoon can have a pokeball or something

Why not just have Dragoon summon your pet as a cooldown ability?

3000 TP Cool down timer of 5 minutes, last 1 or 2 minutes. it basically replicates your moves (with a slightly lower dmg maybe 75-90% of your dmg) giving the job considerably amazing chances of being great burst DDing dependent on how long a fight would go for. People get their pets and those that don't want a pet class get to love their pet anyways because of what it's capable of doing.

It won't make dragoons weaker to have a Wyvern on their side. All it does is split your damage, but the total isn't going to change. Why are so many people hung up on seeing big numbers?

Personally I'm a bit disappointed; going by the feedback in this thread, pet dragons probably won't happen.

Last I read, Yoshi had said no pet for dragoon due to balance issues. As much as I'd love to have a pet wyvern, with PvP coming, I'd rather have good class balance than a pet.
