And that's a very conservative estimate.

I'm sure you don't want the entire playerbase mad at you.
Making Dragoon a pet class would not delay patch 1.21 because pet classes and the pets for them won't be ready til closer to the 2.0 release and would come in the form of a quest like all other abilities for jobs. That is where the balancing would come in. Also Dragoon can still be a beastly crit class with a pet it will just have some adjustments done to the abilities and it may or may not get nerfed. Depends on the community's feelings on the matter AFTER it has been done just like 80% of the adjustments underway.
