If DRG could have a wyvern and high DPS

[Tonkra]

Problem is SE always been terrible at balancing jobs. Having a wyvern as a part of the class is asking for drg to be gimp.

and there we are again player who chosed to be lancer because of ifrit videos and being one of the better dmg dealer now are afraid to get "gimped"... drg so or so would go into the dmg dealer role... wether with or without pet.. the dmg will be just a little splitted. besides that you would maybe be able to perform WS on your own.

YOU THINK it will be like.. but doesnt SE goes different ways now? jumping... mounts besides chocobos etc.?

and i dont think a drg was gimped in FFXI i did almost the same dmg than a dark, well just at least. I'd say a little bit more.

Oh this dude is going to call me out like this. Here's a newsflash buddy.
I started XI 2 weeks after NA release, drg been my 1st job to 75. I played when Penta Thrust gave you TP for each hit connected. However, truth of the matter is if you think drg wasn't gimped you're completely delusional.
DRG had crappy abilites, stats, gear choices, modifiers, etc, take your pick! It wasn't until bird parties post TOAU and numbers of adjustments that drgs became desirable and only for bird parties at that.
HNM/endgame linkshells avoided drgs like a plague. Sure there were some drgs that were in there but most of them had their gear because of a "useful" job they had leveled for LS purposes.
I dont want to play Lancer, I want to play DRG just like I wanted in XI but ended up playing other jobs because of how gimp DRG there was.
Seems to me you have no idea what you're talking about there buddy.

i know that drg in FFXI wasnt that popular.

BUT what has a drg + wyvern in FFXIV has to do with the drg in FFXI? has it to be the same like it?
i mean with lancer you yet have abillities like TP generating haste etc. like the samurai had. getting a wyvern would not effect those skills or do you think they would delete kind of these or weaken them that hard? i think it would be the matter of the FFXIV dev team from TODAY (and not from the FFXI dev team from 10 years ago!!)

and well yes i think, the players mostly only looked at drg stats in FFXI (oh he has 5 points less accu than a drk has) wew.. he is such a gimp. i played drg as well and always compared the damage between me and other melee classes (wyvern damage added) and couldnt say that my dmg was gimp in comparison to drk for example. or that i missed THAT more often. so harsh havent the stats been in FFXI . polearm had lower delays as well in comparison to samurai and drk weapons. he hit more often within a time period.

at this point you really can say: what a pitty there hasn't been a Damage-*penis*-meter like in WoW. (although i hate kind of addons like those)


because thats what most people are searching for in any MMO it seems. I CHOSED DRG IN FFXI BECAUSE of playstyle, fun, appearance and the role, and of course that i have been a damage dealer (not in the majority) and the DRG poll we saw in the other thread is a mirror of this!
