Dawntrail Dragoon Feedback

[CidHeiral]

Low level burst and AoE rotation are definitely less fun with those changes.

I wasn't expecting much of the feedback in this thread to be addressed if any, but I am genuinely surprised that after collecting DRG feedback in the months since launch their conclusion was to simplify the job even further. I have a very hard time believing the overall consensus of DRG mains was "please gut the job more."

EDIT: I remembered that SE posts the reasoning behind their changes on the job actions page. Here's what they have to say about DRG:

"To help prevent DPS loss when it's necessary to keep distance from an enemy, we've increased the potency of Piercing Talon. An additional effect further increasing its potency has also been added to Elusive Jump. To reduce the number of actions executed during damage burst phases, players will no longer gain multiple stacks of Nastrond Ready. Because this change greatly affects dragoon DPS, we've made further adjustments to other actions to maintain balance among melee DPS jobs."

The "to reduce the number of actions executed during damage burst phases" line gives it away. Just as I've said before, this is another step on their mission to make every job as dumbed down as they possibly can to appeal to the people who hate it. All jobs must be designed for people who play half asleep and with their monitor turned off. If you've been a DRG main for years and loved the way it was before, too bad, SE says you don't matter. Very cool!
