If DRG could have a wyvern and high DPS

[Velhart]

The wyvern has a place in ffxiv and it's at the end of my lance.

Actually that is true. Dragoons hunt dragons. I believe it was an exception in FFXI because you felt sorry for the little thing.

There really is no point in a pet system when there are so many other jobs who fit this role much better.

like the none that exist right now? Other then BST/SMN/PUP (pup being like DRG where you fight alongside your pet) there isnt much out there. Giving DRG a pet makes them stand out between what we have now, which is not much more then WS differences and some minor skills that set 3 of them apart. If they dont do something really interesting with DRG, its going to feel like a WAR varient.

and again, they can do w/e the hell they want with lore, its mostly shot to hell with all the changes til 2.0 anyway.

You do know that no matter what DRG will not have a wyvern until some time after v2.0? The pet system will not be put in until the game is on the new servers and engine... So pretty much what you want is DRG to start out as a none pet class and then about a year or so after it is out to suddenly become a pet class. Right because that wouldn't mess anything up at all with players after 1.21 and play style. BST and SMN will not come into the game until after v2.0 along with the pet system because they are full on pet classes. DRG will stand out from what we have at 1.21 (since none of the jobs are in yet you can't say now) because of the traditional DRG type abilities/items...

a pet class wont be til then, but it does not make sense that he would ask about it this far ahead if there wasnt something he had in mind. If what your saying is true then we will have pretty much a full year without it...and by then (if they dont do much with the job, which for some reason i expect) then people will be bored enough to just want it for the sake of having something new to do.

Maybe you would have to wait and see... I can't and wont speak for the other people but it would not get boring to me then again I am different in that regard and many other regards.

With Summoner being a confirmed job, deriving from a class, lets call for now Tamer. Also, Beastmaster also a confirmed future job. That is two pet jobs we are getting, why does DRG need one? Why do we need a pet to stand out? If I recall, Jump and dragon like abilities is what makes Dragoon stand out.

btw id really love to see the other regions opinions on this. is there no-one here who could translate and see what the others think. Particularly the JP (they get more of a say, don't kid yourself)

with so many posts about this it seems like someone would have done this by now.
