    Now Dragon Sight will (effectively) be like every other boring dps buff skill. Press one button, get a buff. No thought or gameplay required. I don't think anyone will actually enjoy the class more as a result of this change, but plenty of people will enjoy the class less and, even if its only by a little bit, it is still sad to see changes that go in the wrong direction.
    If Dragon Sight had actually been anything more than a necessary damage buff with range restrictions, I'd mourn its quirk of gameplay. But it wasn't. It felt alright in 4-mans (stutter-step) chasing the DRG around despite being a mage, but when actual mechanics become involved, with nothing more offered... not so much. Had it increased movement speed towards the partner, or allowed you to blink to the partner's location, and rapidly decreased (but didn't outright remove) effect with range, then there'd be something more. But there wasn't.

    Exactly this. It was not unique aside from a ridiculous range requirement.
    It grants a damage buff to self and your partner (which is just an added bonus really, you're not using it for your partner's sake)

    I would still rather them just replace the skill and give us our old Blood for Blood back.
    This is the second time we basically get the "same thing". (WT & FaC, B4B being split with DS)
