    A Small Dragoon Fix

    Dragoon pre 50 is now painfully boring with the removal of Phlebotomize.

    Phlebotomize used to be the only real thing to do outside of your main damage combo, over and over again. It gave you a jerryrigged option for AoE by just spreading DoTs around and it made low level dungeons a lot more fun. Disembowel spices things up a little, but not much. And frankly, Impulse Drive is useless until you get Disembowel. Why is it even in the game...? They should just remove this skill, buff True Thrust by 20 potency, and make True Thrust the first part of both combos, like how Paladin has 3 combos that all start with Fast Blade. But that's tangential.

    I thought of an elegant solution. Why not put Phlebotomize back in, but also add a Trait that upgrades it to Chaos Thrust at 50? They both apply DoTs so conceptually it fits. I can accept that there is no longer any room in the Job's rotation for Phlebotomize later in the Job's development, but this would mean you can play pre level 50 Dragoon like we used to in 2.0-3.0 without upsetting the balance the class has now.
