Half my dragoon skills deleted? :(

[Vardahtoh]

Is this a bug or was this intentional?

[Fynlar]

Oh, it was intentional. Have fun resetting your bars.

Lesse here...

Phebotomize gone? Good riddance. I could never reliably weave that into my rotation anyway.
Feint? Did this ever really effect anything? Nearly everything in a dungeon had insane resistance to this anyway. Now it's a straight debuff, a role action ,and far more useful.
Leg Sweep? Role action now. Didn't really lose it. But still has diminishing returns if spammed, so take it with a grain of salt. Shouldn't one be leaving the stuns to the tank anyway for precision mitigation?
Invigorate? Always struck me as kind of weird why this WASN'T a cross role action for every melee DPS that used TP. If anything, they fixed this.
Second Wind? This was already a cross class skill with monk, so literally, nothing changed. You didn't lose it.
Bloodbath? Damn handy for a DRG to have, given our insane physical damage potential. Role Action now so Monks can have it too. The icon just changed is all. Didn't lose it.
Keen Flurry? If you were relying on something as weak and RNG based as parry to survive as a dragoon, your tank is napping and you were moments from death anyway. Kicked and replaced.
Ring of Thorns? OKAY, WHAT THE HECK?! This always looked so cool! Why did they remove it?! BOOOOOOO!!!
Power Surge? Fret not, friend. I looked at some videos about DRG's make over before SB dropped. This is just a result of the jump system changing. We're getting this back with additional mechanics that do the same thing later on.

But, for the abilities that honestly lacked in usefulness we lost, we got just as many very functional ones back. Like True North. Removes all directional damage requirements for 15 seconds. YES PLZ! Arm's length removing knock back and drawn-in effects? I might be interpreting this one wrong, but this would be been REALLY useful when I was losing my mind over Sophia last year.

i eventually did figure out how to cheat her table flips, but I was just saying that the ability to completely ignore that sounded very trial breaking in a very funny way

REALLY? ...REALLY NOW? Yeah no, no you don't.

I reported the comment. Hope they address it.

[FaileExperiment]

It was a stupid and insensitive comment, for sure. But perhaps educating him on why it is so may be more effective than just immediately playing the Go to Jail card.

Thanks for the detailed descriptions. I re-actived my account a week ago to play with a friend (hasn't been active since 2013). This all came as a bit of a shock to me right after I had just re-learned my class.

Yeah, but it's okay, just wear one of these instead. It's looking like you're about to need one, anyway.

Interesting, I didn't know Dragoons can use shields. I'll have to look more into this.

REALLY? ...REALLY NOW? Yeah no, no you don't.

Can't take a joke? Triggers and safe spaces? Antifa/SJW's, is that you? -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR_u...97550685988608

I haven't tested it out yet, but going by the tooltip it looks like the new leg sweep doesn't do any damage. Also I'm pretty sure 3.0 Monk already had access to Bloodbath since they could cross class marauder skills. ( this is why fracture was a part of their rotation.)

He thinks it's a "joke" so I wouldn't bet on being able to educate him in anything when he's dumb enough to think that's something to joke about.
