Dragoon Poll (Should DRG have a Wyvern?)

[SilvertearRen]

Seeing that this is a fairly divisive issue, I'm going to save us some trouble and get some straight-up numbers.

Like this Post if you don't want a pet with the Dragoon.

See? This is why WOW's talents system is so great. Because it gives you the option of doing what YOU want. Play the way YOU want. SE tried to do something similar with Jobs as they become a specialization but you can still stay on a regular class and mismatch abilities but it is not as advanced as WOW's talent system.

WOW's version of a Dragoon would go something like this...

1st tree would be pet focused.... you can summon a Wyvern to fight by your side and you get passive and active abilities that enhance your pet's power.

2nd tree would be a lancer build where you have no pet but have very powerful attacks and jumps

3rd tree would probably be a tanking tree, with decent damage and heavy defense.

You can chose to play a Dragoon if that is what interest you most and with a talent tree you can chose to play the way you want. You don't need to be a Paladin to tank, you can tank with other classes using such a system since it enables different classes to fit different roles. You can even make hybrids.

I know i'll get hated by all the FFXI for making this post but i can't help to think that such a system or something similar would give us so much more freedom and individuality. My Dragoon doesn't need to be an exact copy of yours, i can do my own thing!

I was thinking exactly this. I scanned through this thread to make sure it wasn't already mentioned and Lo and Behold! My brother from another mother Oni you bada$$ muthatrucka. Seriously tho, well stated (you said it better than I would have). *daps*

We already have one of these in the LNC forum

They should have viable customizable builds for both options, and more.

Also for those who don't know the history of the Dragoon, here's a Wikia article:

Here, you can learn more about the Dragoon in each Final Fantasy. My favorite is Freya.

This is a General Discussion thread, for greater exposure. The more poll samples we can get, the better. Some people don't even bother to look in the other forums. :\

But here, a link for those who want to double-dip their votes!~

How about a vote to wait and see what they want to do with Dragoon instead?

FFXI is to the best of my knowledge the only FF that actually let you control a Wyvern, so why not wait to see what they intend to do with the usual non-pet variety of Dragoon?

The point of this thread is to make it clear to the Devs what the players want BEFORE they make any mistakes that'll end up angering us. :P

Personally, I am against Dragoons having pets.
