Anyway I'm still not arguing whether it should or shouldn't, I don't really care all that much. I do however care about DRG having SOMETHING that makes it at least as desirable as all the other jobs currently are, you know except MNK and PLD which are ~DRG desirability. If those things come in the form of breath attacks that actually serve a purpose, or some other form of dragon blood magic, or w/e, right now the whole YAY I can jump thing isn't gettin it.

It's sad that I've hung up the 2 jobs I wanted to play most (DRG 1st MNK 2nd) to play WAR in most content, and the job I wanted to tank on, is often times the one that people say, "Eh could you NOT play that." If DRG had a pet that provided the extra umph to make it comparable to BLM/BRD/WAR whether that omph was in the form of debilitating breath attacks, or more dmg, or w/e. Or if DRG had some of it's own attacks that could do those things, makes no real difference to me in the grand scheme, I just want to be able to play what I want w/o people saying, "Do you mind NOT playing that it's pretty shitty."
let me rephrase. I would rather have dragon breaths/magic then be a very well made pet class. Its not that I care about a wyvern its that I dont want dragoon to be a pet class because I don't enjoy pet classes. Also dont know why people think DRG is so weak, its not but if you are comparing to AoE ability then you do get the impression. I guess i never looked at DRG and said I want to play that class for its AoE capabilities. If you compare BLM and DRG for single target DPS then you have to consider BLM is better because it doesn't have to worry about positioning for combos. If DRG didn't I'm willing to bet its damage would be comparable or better.
