[Suggestion to Yoshida and the com] Third Dragoon alternative

[Suirieko]

FFXI's Dragoon is essentially the same as dragoons before them, the only different is XI Dragoon has a wyvern. That's about it. Jumps have always been one of their main source of damage. XI's DRG, in a way, could function without the wyvern, especially if you're strictly meleeing.

When you're in Dynamis, and you're a melee DRG, y ou're very likely to lose your wyvern early on. Same with Einherjar, same with most of the endgame events due to heavy AoE damage, that wyverns won't be able due to this.

XI's DRGs have Jumps. Past dragoons have jumps.

XI's DRGs uses spear. Past Dragoons uses spears.

So what's the different? XI's DRGs have wyverns for pet. Past Dragoons don't have it. Take away the wyverns, they're almost identical, except obviously built to support for MMORPG settings.

Dragoons, int he older game uses jump instead of fight for their source of damage. If anything, FFXI's Dragoon is similar to FF TActics Dragoon, but overall, they're the same as traditional Dragoons.

Edit: Also, In this sense, FFXI's DRG is very similar to Freya. She has jumps, and she has standard fighting and so on.

It perplexes me that people thought that Dragoons in FFXI are useless without the wyvern. Yes. Wyvern gives Dragoon extra boost, but can Dragoons fight efficiently without wyverns? Oh God Yes. The exception is the mage subs, but face it, the subjobs thing is more so FFXI's unique trait than Dragoon itself. IF you take the wyvern away, Dragoons are almost exactly similar to dragoons before FFXI.

Just that their new abilities give Dragoons even more boost WITh the wyverns out.
