Do you want Dragoon to have a pet!? (poll)

I didn't say it should be the "best" just pointed out that right now it's not the best for anything. I want equal aka balanced. By what was said it's going to go, for DPS don't get a DRG, for tanking don't get a DRG, for AoE killing "trash" mobs don't get a DRG. If DRG is an optimal job for any of those spots please correct me, otherwise let's be real and say that it needs some looking at.

MNK has better survivability and maintaining the otherwise worthless MP pool on MNK isn't hard at all. Life Surge isn't getting you back enough and Second Wind on a non MNK isn't comparable. DRG gets notta else Dreadspike is straight garbage. WAR w/ Rampage up unless your unlucky as all get out can get back obscene amounts of HP, not just w/ SC other WSs crit just as well.

BLM w/ a semi-decent tank has to worry very little about that whole getting hit thing. Running out of MP does happen but it's not enough to actually push any decent BLM DPS below others.

Your right Berserk isn't the best thing going, but in a DD role WAR does hold it's own, after SC and what have you get nerfed we'll see, but then they're buffing Berserk so...

People ask for "not" DRG often, lnc is fine alot of the time, but lnc doesn't have the damage output a DRG does so there's that trade off.



I think though that you skipped past my actual point, which was just asking for balance, through the addition of a pet w/ some nifty buff/enfeeble/heals or some other means.

what I'm saying is DRG is not garbage like many would like some to believe, sure they can use a boost which they are getting. I just prefer it in the vision of Yoshi. And I still think DRG has better survivability than MNK Life Surge gives plenty of health back and its constant, we also have second wind as well. if you are looking at straight numbers then yes we dont fall at the top or equal in damage as BLM and MNK but you have to take more into consideration than just numbers. IMO BLM has it to easy with combos which is why they can put out so much damage.

again you say that MNK and BLM out do DRG by the numbers, what else matters? If we parse lower we parse lower, there's no real argument against the numbers. If the argument is ease of play BLM has it again, and MNK is no harder than DRG.

Life surge at the cost of power surge and second wind on mnk is 900~1k on DRG it's ~350, life surge @3 doesn't compare to that 600 difference in 45 seconds.

I love DRG btw, it was my first 50, was the first in Beta, and at release was first for me, when they altered the abils they gimped it horribly. I want to be able to skewer shit again. I want alot of those old skills back, and would happily throw some of what we have back in the barrel to be recycled. Right now though, I just can't make myself play my DRG, and it makes me sad.
