Dragon Knight?

[Altano]

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.
