Argued this point about 30 times now, but it's not as simple as applying percentages to damage. You have stats, your wyvern has stats, and in order to have a pet the dragoon will have to give up some of his stats in order to have a pet. These stats (att, str, crit attack, etc...) that determine damage done to a mob make it very difficult to balance this splitting of power. You give the wyvern too much (att, str, crit att, etc...) and the wyvern will hit too hard on monsters that match the dragoon's level. You give the wyvern too low it will do shit damage on bosses.

Not only will the stats of the dragoon be reduced to give stats to the wyvern, the damage will be further reduced when calculated against a monsters stats (vit, defense, etc...) So in essence your power is weakened as a dragoon then the damage calculations are applied TWICE against your split stats.

It's not as easy as taking 20% off the dragoon's damage per hit and adding it to the wyvern's damage.

I see countless arguements about how the job would be better off without a wyvern, but I don't really see any pro's to adding it besides the fact that you guys want a companion. How will having a wyvern make the dragoon better than a non wyvern dragoon with dragon like abilities?

The other pet jobs don't have any of the problems dragoon would because, the pets will be counted as a party member. The tenative pet job will not have to give up stats to use said pet, and the pet won't have to have reduced stats to that of a weakened party member. I.e. you could have a lv 50 pet class using a lv 50 mob (with lv 50 stats and abilities)
