If DRG could have a wyvern and high DPS

[Reliquia]

It's being discussed in terms of the old system because the dev team said it would be implimented similar to the old system. They clearly said they would weaken the dragoon. I would be perfectly fine if dragoon got a wyvern in a similar fashion that the new pet job would use pets, and the same way we'll use mounts as companions.

I would love to see it if it were a pet that doesn't take any stats from the job using it, a pet that has it's own level and stats that could go up to the same level as the character calling it (i.e. a lv 50 dragoon being able to use a lv 50 wyvern with stats and damage to match), and a pet that doesn't hinder the dragoon's own ability set (i.e. dragoon can't use this breath attack because it's wyvern already uses breath attacks.)

When they do add diverse mounts to use / raise / fight along side, you can bet my mount will be a dragon if it's an option. Because it accomplishes the same goal as what you want and it doesn't take a damn thing from my character or it's abilities.

It is a much more fair compromise than no wyvern/drake/dragon at all, but I don't think this would make much sense. The only possible solution I see for this to work on those terms is to have the external wyvern NPC as an extra PT member, in that case then you will mostly be using it solo.

For parties the wyvern would easily be thrown out to make room for another class/job (who for balancing reasons should be more useful than an extra NPC that uses pt space). Tt won't really be a part of the job then.

Then comes the second problem. The concept of a battle chocobo is still a bit unclear, but to me it sounded as if all classes could have a battle chocobo, clearly it wouldn't be fair to have the dragoon have two battle NPCs or to have more choices of external battle NPCs than other classes.

Having the Wyvern as an inseparable part of the job (till death do them part) is the only way for it to define the job.

{Edit}
I keep hearing think outside the box.

I was just tossing that line back at him. As for actually thinking outside the box I think that the idea that was proposed in this thread seems to have a lot more potential than what I have seen being proposed before.
