Yes I want a pet, only if it be a Beaver tho.

I've concluded... I hate you all. All of you, I hate.

I don't want Dragoon tied down again with a pet, for all that entails, am however for a wyvern class (perhaps Dragoner, Melee Mage+dragon pet anyone).

I don't particularly want one as a combat aid but it'd be nice to have one as a cosmetic thing that was DRG-exclusive - maybe even a DRG-only mount at some point as well?

The problem with one as a combat aid has already been pointed out - it would make the DRG too weak alone. Maybe the Wyvern could be incorporated into some attack animations, though? That wouldn't be too bad.

can my WHM have a Priest from WoW as a tiny pet? it should give me random compliments, and hand me food when I'm hungry.

Funny how in your AF body fight said DRG wasn't tied down by his pet.

How about this: a temporary buff, like Spinning Heel, that summons the wyvern for 20 seconds, and a similar cooldown (2 mins). While out, it will auto attack your target.

As for special attacks, it can do breath attacks upon combo completion, or you could have its breath WS as a final hit in a combo (instead of Chaos, RoT, etc).

Later on, have an ability or perk that lets you take it's TP for yourself (or when it unsummons).

Idk, just brainstorming. Save the tomatoes.

Are we talking about FFXIV AF? Or am I missing something. I haven't done that quest yet so don't spoil anything else if so.

If you mean in FFXI, CLEARLY Dragoon was a balancing nightmare and the Dragoon himself was weaker than he would have been since the Wyvern added so much. I'd much rather DRG be the power houses they deserve to be, and if it's really that important to have a pet dragon/wyvern, then just create another dragon based class/job.

Please no. Go big or go home. If you're going to give a class/job a pet dragon/wyvern, do it all the way and not some half-way compromise.
