Future Dragoon Ability Ideas

[Krono]

You shouldn't be taking any damage as a DRG in a party that a WHM can't heal, thus making Life Surge useless. If you're pulling too much hate and getting attacked by the mobs, then hold back a bit or get some -enmity equipment or materia. Life Surge is really only useful solo, and Jobs are for party, so unless you play solo 90% of the time then Power Surge should be better.

Yes, Power Surge would be nice in a party with a competent healer. However, that's hardly the case with the way the classes/jobs are right now. THM/BLM burn is near set in stone in most minds as far as group content goes. The 90% of the time I'm playing DRG IS solo, and between Life Surge III and Second Wind, I can stay at 95%+ HP as I farm whatever it may be I'm farming, with absolutely NO downtime.

So we should reform an ability because people like to stack jobs? DRG does just fine in parties, and is a powerhouse DD with Power Surge III.
