Dragoons... how do you feel post 4.0?

[Tenryushin]

6. And this is just to add to the cool factor. It would be awesome in my opinion to have mirage dive and the dragon sight animation change color depending on if you are on BotD or LotD. So have mirage dive be red when done on LotD and have the dragon sight tether and animation be blue when not on LotD cause blood dragon right? :P

Anyways, hopefully someone is listening and can test these.
For the rest of us please discuss 

I'm a bit displeased with Yoshida thoughts about Dragoon , Just because we have utility for raid to buff all that we have to be the lowest of the melee. Because he had decided to shaft us for the 4 Eyes that fall off when
botd ends , Nastrond build it up too long. I already leveled my Samurai to 70 and seriously didn't want to. All I got to say to the Dev team try playing DRG and having your team DPS meter you , then you might know how I feel when I get laughed at for having the lowest score. Thanks for nothing.

Lol if your going to kill drg like they did in 11 at least give us a wyvren. =P

Samurai are actually from the interdimensional rift, from the world of FFXI where they ruled for 10 years. Omega created them based on patch notes and the lack of nerfs and the Hasso/Seigan era.

They do that to fix this game i will uninstall it and pretend all of it never happened.

Honestly if my choices are to be a melee bard or have my wyvern back and be the opposite of SMN with the focus on me instead I'll take that choice.

[Gravton]

I was kidding, although if LotD summoned the FF11 wyvern that used a breath attack instead nostrad....that would have been more visually satisfying than the re-skins we have now. I was just commenting on the fall of drg and the rise of loldrg from 11.

Ran through Omega yesterday and cleared all 4 in the span of like 90 minutes due to good queue times as many others were doing it at that time as well....

Surprisingly, I was able to keep BotD up most of the time even while mechanics happened which prevent you from attacking for a period of time. I had some good groups, we only wiped once in Catastrophe (understandable), got some commendations and honestly felt really good about my performance overall. I'm sure this feeling will change once Savage hits and I really start to feel my lack of DPS overall but I think I'm going to wait until then to decide if I'm benching the job or not.

Managed to get the awesome Head piece which you should be able to see in my headshot here!

DRG seemed terrible on paper to me when it was announced. People seemed pretty unconcerned and I wanted to give it a fair shake since it's always been my main so I kept on with it. Recently got to 70 and so far have had a fairly miserable time. Dungeons aren't fun--AoE is garbage and doesn't interact with the job mechanic at all. Some fights by design just aren't going to be fun based on our mechanic's interaction with downtime. The ones that are fun probably aren't going to be enough to make me want to keep playing the job. I don't care about how well I do versus other jobs, but I do care that DRG just isn't fun. Overly reliant on memorizing the downtime rather than perfecting personal performance. Overly punished for mistakes. Overly pain in the ass to use Dragon Sight which is supposed to be part of the utility that justifies my numbers being garbage. I'll still do everything available with DRG but I'm likely moving it down from my MAIN main.

Yeah, when I signed up for drg I was a frontline fighter. Now I'm a mele support (brd/mch). If they wanted a mele support why didn't they just add dancer, geomancer, ditch digger, whatever. It's like when they changed brds into casters. I really don't understand the dev's mindset.
