Dragoon pet

[Khal_Drogo]

FFXI had lots of time to explore the DRG class, and it went from being "best DD in the game" to "a complete joke" and then all the way back to "awesome" again, although that seems to have been after you quit the game. It's a great job, it's fun, interesting, and adorable, it makes sense in the context of FFXI, but /it's been done to death/ and there are other, easier-to-balance ways of making Dragoon in FFXIV an interesting job that stands on its own merits.

Oh, and, while we're splitting hairs...

"Dragoons", historically, were light cavalry. So...

"Dragoon as a pet job" actually is centuries old, not a decade old. B)

Well, first of all, I was referring to the *terminology, "Dragoon," not what it entails. Secondly, the idea of Dragoon having a WYVERN pet is the new one, not just a "pet" in general, so that point is moot. Either way, not everyone that plays XIV, played XI; so, just because you've had your fill of something, doesn't mean those experiences should be withheld from the rest of the world.

Having a Dragoon with a Wyvern for eight years is long enough to formulate a concrete dataset that suggests that it isn't recommended for the format Final Fantasy XIV is using.

Seriously, when will people stop using Final Fantasy XI as a baseline guide for classes in XIV?

Never? Oh, alright. I'll just urinate in your morning coffee, then.

Um...are my arguments not challenging enough for you, so you decided to argue w/ yourself?

That's what, virtually, everyone's argument in here IS...It "SUCKED" in XI, so it shouldn't be used here w/ XIV. So, it's alright to reference XI as a baseline as long as it's being used to further your own agenda?

What is that called....it's right on the tip of my tongue. Oh ya! It's called being a hypocrite.

I disagree with this- nobody should have to suffer through the years where DRG was a horrible job.
