Dragoon pet

I loved DRG in FFXI because of the wyvern. I would really love to have my companion back in FFXIV.
I just don't think the job would be as interesting just swinging a weapon around. I would love to have a wyvern fighting with me.

Perhaps the DRG could be at full strength without the wyvern, and split it between wyvern and DRG if the player quests/obtains/chooses to play with the wyvern. Also, might help if wyverns would only be K.O.'d if the DRG was, so you'd never be reduced to half strength.

or as i said.. they planned to implement two jobs for each class.. the problem could be easy solved.

when you are into "just wielding a damn polearm" than chose the first job (or just stick to lancer).
when you are into a hybrid class, with more complexity and pet stuff, then chose the second job "dragoon".

Switching to jobs should define the playstyle you want to have. its for variety.

Explaining the job system
and some guys seem to have misunderstood the job system like it is planned.
Yoshida said, that you lose some abillities when you're switching to a job (some skills are class exclusive (Lancer ONLY for example) and some are job exclusive (Dragoon only for example))


so keeping that in mind!!! it would make sense to stick to the lancer without switching to a job!
there you go with your pure melee polearm fighter!

You will loose the ability to equip Other classes skills, not the bases class.
