Dragoon pet

[SnickleWhiskers]

Personally no I wouldn't want a pet wyvern since I think of Dragoon Bangaa from the FFTA series with thier Elemental Spit abilities Lancet and the like.

Isn't Doomspike basically a jump attack, sure you dont' jump into the air for 3 turns but then this isn't a turn based games

Doomspike is basically a newbie's Jump attack. The REAL Jump is like...Godly.

Besides, if they make it possible for us to have Drakes as a mount, that would easily stand in for the Wyvern, guys. This was mentioned during the broadcast as a reward for those who stick with FFXIV during the transition to 2.0.

I agree with you. we need more then 4 melee jobs doing the same thing. Having a pet will make dragoon different from WAR and MNK....

It already is different. MRD/WAR = AoE, LNC/DRG = Single target, PGL/MNK is hit-or-miss right now but will likely be the "blink tank" of FFXIV. ARC will go the way of buffer, GLA is a tank. They are adding two pet classes in the future (Summoner & Beastmaster). So what you're saying is, make three pet classes, a tank, an aoe trash tank, and evade tank, with no strict melee available? No thanks.

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.

consider what happens after the pet dies, or the duration you can have it outside is up? that total performance you talk about will change.

Keeping your pet alive will sacrifice more time and effort. The solution is to make things simple. No splitting or sacrifice of strength and power for a pet. That will equal in maximum performance by the dragoon. So, no to pets. Dragoon is better off without it

Maybe the translation was bad but what i think Yoshi ment was the actual dragoon (PC) would be a little weaker because his pet will do a portion of his dmg. But when you add it all up the dmg would be balanced with other classes.

I'm for having a Dragoon with a wyvern pet, but If Yoshi really ment "Dragoon the class will be weaker then other dmg dealers because we don't have a good balance team who can balance pets" if this is what he means then i think they should hire better game balance team.

Really i honestly think Yoshi means the Dragoon (the player) dmg will be a little lower, and the wyvern would make up for that.

Wyvern = (No, Thanks)

Let that version of the DRG remain in FFXI. The Jump attack is the signature move of the job and the design should focus on it.

Freya from FFIX is a good example of a classic FF dragoon job.

[Drex]

Yes but only if its a 2h like ability, or a final 2h combo like Yoshi said in some interview.

/ac "Dragoon Knight 1337 Ability"

<Takhisis pops and crits Odin for 9999 dmg>

Thats the only way I would have a pet.

Please Yoshi, I beg you...... no mini-pony-dragon..... please

[Krausus]

for the love of god no pet please

[Antonn]

I'd like to have a wyvern, but I won't be shedding any tears if they don't add it.

[AceofRains]

Either an evolving wyvren or if no wyvren I want breath attacks in drg
