Dragon Knight?

[Alaltus]

so blizzard new mmo is a fps ahh see i did not know that i don't really look for there games i'm not really into that company games.

All i was saying is for now FFXIV wont have pet jobs but seeing how Dragon Knight is not dragoon and i think dragon knight would be from FF2 and they said they going to add more jobs that you could unlock within the same class they could easy add a pet job for lancer to become dragoon.

Dragoon when two hour was there pet was not really much of a pet job but once it just become JA and they had a new two hour that you can get the HP,TP,STR from your Pet it did become more about the pet in that you use it to kill it lol. But i do agree it was not much of a pet job like BST,PUP,SMN where you could control your pet.

Get your facts straight, dragon knight is just another name for dragoon. Even if SE go for this translation of dragoon instead(i kinda like the name), even if they do not implement a wyvern i will play dragoon/dragon knight. I played xi for years and dragoon was a fun job but they didnt really use the wyvern to its fullest potential in my eyes. So if they dont bring in the wyvern i will be happy with the abilities we will get as replacement.

I favor the DoM classes, but Lancer is my prefered DoW class. I never played dragoon. In FFXI i played mage classes. I was a red mage before red mages were cool.

All that being said. I have always loved pet classes in general. FFXI, EQ, EQII, EQOA, I loves petclasses in all of these.

You have no ides how much I await pets in XIV. I have developed interest in LNC and DRG to the point that I feel it would be my prefered class.

Unless of coarse we get Bard. Thats my top class choice. They need to make Bards with a beast charm. Music does tame the savage beast after all. EQOA mastered the manner in which to give bards the ability to charm. I would love to see a similar idea here. Otherwise I am going the path of whatever mellee type class can have a pet.

I'm sure it'll be called Dragoon in the English version. The person who translated the information was a generous Japanese player, and "Dragon Knight" was probably just a small error on their part being unfamiliar with the English job names.

I hope it's close to Dragoon from FFXI. I'm looking forward to pet classes in XIV.

I actually wouldn't mind being called Dragon Knight this time around. Also, I wonder is SE would ever consider different forms of Dragoon.
For example, a DD version on the job with the Wyvern out, and a tank version where the PC actually semi-morphed into an actual dragon-type beast with breath attacks, increased HP, etc.

Just thinking aloud is all.

Laters!

Please no pets. Lancer is such a strong class by itself, and by adding a pet, they'd either unbalance several aspects of the melee game, make the pet utterly worthless, or nerf the base class to hell and back. Lancer is designed as a TP-based buff, debuff, and (to a serious extent if you know what you're doing with weapon skills) damage machine. Can you imagine, those of you from FFXI, if SAM or DNC had a pet? It would have broken the game battle balance or destroyed the jobs themselves. Lancer is not designed to be a pet-handling class. I pray SE makes it stay that way. Jump or whatever doesn't really bother me one way or the other. It's just another ability. But pets simply unleash all kinds of questions that this game honestly cannot handle right now, given what Lancer already is.

The job Dragoon would get the pet, and be balanced accordingly, not the class Lancer. This is all speculative, of course.

Balanced by locking off the Lancer's already too-strong TP moves? Then you don't even have much of a Lancer base any more for the Dragoon to build upon.

Atleast make it so Dragoon's "special" is to summon a Dragon which comes and fight with you for 30 sec and disappear. with a decent cool down?

Without an association with a dragon type, dont even bother calling it Dragoon!

Afaik, FFXI was the first title where you could summon a pet/dragon as a Dragoon. The only ability a Dragoon MUST have is Jump!
