I'm a dragoon main in xi and a lnc in xiv. I had my fill of having a wyvern, I want a different experience in xiv. The idea of having my power weakened so that it could be given to a pet in a second game doesn't sit well with me. You have to remember that your damage reduction when attacking a mob will be applied twice across your split power. It's like having a lower level character following you around and it's hard to balance the damage calculations for that situation.

If you add enough power to the wyvern so it'll do well against big monsters, it'll be way too overpowered for everything else. You leave it's power so that the damage between the dragoon and the wyvern is normalized in a party situation and you have the same situation that existed in xi for the longest time. The dragoon gets gimp damage against big monsters and the wyvern hits for next to null.

I'd rather have a dragon knight like dragoon. The powers of a dragon contained within a DD. The wyvern/dragon can still exist persay. I just rather it stay as a after image or animation that occurs when I perform skills.
