Dragoon Poll (Should DRG have a Wyvern?)

[Anonymoose]

what do you guys think?

Ohai again! Multipost = multianswer... so you can skip this if you've already been to Dragoon Pet! I'll let you choose where you and I go back and forth, if that's something you've got in mind :P

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.

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 agree. I even commented this mechanics in this very topic a few pages ago. IMO the Wyvern should be linked to DRG though...no DRG = no way to summon the Wyvern.

Not really, Moose...fellow NPCs are in FFXI still and use this exact mechanics. Also the idea do is exactly what you said...it would be an option for low man PT, for soloing...in the end the wyvern would also have it's own gear, lv, xp, actions...it does would be a second character, even in very single aspect of it to a PC. If a DRG wanted a wyvern he would have to grind not only the LNC but also the wyvern...if you happen to access the wyvern summon action quest at LNC 50 only, it would be a doubled grind because you would need to do 1-50 with the wyvern after you already was LNC 50...

I am all up for pets using party slots and being even to PC characters. This would be the main aspect pet classes from FFXI were lacking...the capacity of playing even to other classes without pet...because there they both used 1 slot so they total performance of player + pet had to be even to a petless character.
