Dragoon pet

[NotoriousZow]

I am going to have to say NO to wyvern pet for dragoon. Like many have already pointed out, FFXI was one of the very few FF games to feature the wyvern pet for dragoon, if not the only one.... I would like to see FFXIV's dragoons to go back to the powerful Dragoons like Kain from FFIV or Freya from FFIX. The Lance/polearm weapon and the Jump abilities have always been trademarks of the dragoon. Focus on those abilities and let Dragoon be powerful. Add some dragonlike effect to some weaponskills or abilities. I know Freya had a ton of dragon-like effects to her abilities.

Again. NO PET FOR DRAGOON PLS! ^^

I was reading in another forum, and took some ideas that could work for this.

what if there were a Dragoon specific pet wyvern that you can get that would take up an extra party slot like the chocobo?
this way, the Dragoon can be strong, and have a pet for those that would rather use the wyvern instead of the chocobo in battle. so there is no pet linked to the dragoon job, its just a companion wyvern, not a pet wyvern so it would take up 1 party slot.

what do you guys think?

I think that would give DRG way too big of an advantage over other players if not regulated to an EXTREME degree. Basically, a DRG would never not be a duo. Lowman? Bring DRG. Soloing? Go DRG. Have a gimp party member? Kick him and use DRG. I don't imagine that 4 chocobos would be more powerful than 4 party members, but if you're going for a zerg kill, four DRG makes a full party of ass-kickery.

They'd be nerfed in weeks.

once companion chocobos are released, no one would never not be duoing. Dragoon will just have an optional wyvern companion that the player would have to use INSTEAD of the chocobo.

so i think its fine, just think of it as a wyvern skin for your companion chocobo lol

If that were the case, I think it would be fine -- the trouble comes in where I try to imagine a dragon having similar fighting strength to something the lore has already established that dragons eat. Either our pet dragon would be a pansy (especially if we used children dragons like in XI, which I just think is cruel in so many ways) or Ishgardian chocobos are basically just raised on Rare Candy.

EDIT:
I really need to stop calling it "Pet Dragon." That term alone drains bad-assery. FETCH, FIDO! {throws stick at dodo}

It can be an adult small wyvern. lol so it can make sense to match the strength of the chocobo

Then, no, I'd conceded that as long as the Dragoon could stand on his own without him and still do a great part in a full party as an HDD. Honestly, it might even be better off that way, seeing as there'd eventually be Chocobos, BST pets, Summons, and Dragons taking part in fights. It'd sure make the non-player-character party slots a little more diverse. I'm for anything that spices up the palate a bit.

say no to wyverns! and save ffxiv's jobs.

If drg doesn't get a pet atleast give them an exclusive Dragon mount.

That's good because that was it originally were, just mounts. FFXI RUINED THE DRAGOON CLASS SO PLEASE WE SHOULD LET GO OF THE PAST.
