DRG Dragon Sight needs buff/ Stardiver needs Graphical buff

[Katie_Kitty]

Dnc has an attack buff that increases 5% for 1 min with a 1.5s recast
While DRG Dragon Sight buffs attack by, 10% on Caster and 5% on partner, for 20s with a 120s recast and limited by distance of 12y during use.

Dragon Sight needs to last longer to make it worth the use compared to the dnc.

Stardiver comes out quick and hits like a normal jump that can only be used every 60s if you can get Life of the Dragon up. It needs to have the same impact feel as Dragonfire Dive.
Damage wise for now it's weak it deals about the same damage as the Dragonfire Dive.

Insanity. Dragoon does more DPS than any class but samurai right now and you want to buff its utility even more? No effin' way

Between StB and ShB, dragoons were mostly untouched, with a few additions, and I'd like to keep it that way. The only buff I could vaguely see is life surge forcing a critical hit from stardiver. But even that's a real stretch because it would just be stupid to have an AoE attack that does the same damage as full thrust. It's already crazy enough that life surge works with coerthan thrust.

I can't really see that happening, both because it would require you to double weave it with a jump skill, and because they just removed Life Surge's equivalent for jumps an expansion ago.

Yeaaah, I was surprised they removed the "only applies to the first target hit" line from both Life Surge and MCH's Reassemble.

I disagree on the animation, I find it really awesome /personal taste

Don't forget that the animation of Stardiver is literally a direct callback to a boss mechanic of a certain level 60 trial in the MSQ (Final Steps of Faith, spoilers for anyone who hasn't completed HW). It's a faithful recreation of the ability for players.



And seriously, the only buff dragon sight needs is to have its range increased to like 30 yalms so that Dragoons can tether the Black Mage sitting halfway across the map. The class is hilariously overperforming right now (most likely). Just, period. A range increase is the only thing that I could get behind supporting for DRG buffs, since it's purely quality of life.

No, Dragoon is bonkers. It needs nerfs, not buffs.

Took me a bit to get my DNC up.
Ya no I'm doing more dmg and more sustained dmg as dnc then drg.
DD's don't fight for dmg based on what role they are. All DD's fight for the 2nd or 3rd spot equally.

That you do better on DNC is your own personal issue.

What everyone is implicitly referring to are the Ex Primal statistics, here: https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statistics/28/.

And DNC is dead last for personal DPS, while DRG is miles ahead and in a really good spot in ShB (considering they bring buffs unlike the top rankings).

I love DRG the way it is right now but if it does receive nerfs in the future, they won't be horrible.
