Suggestion: Add a Survivability Ability to DRG?

[Alaltus]

Which brings me to probably my number one pet peeve about the class is that since we are constantly expected to fire off ws they could at least help us out a little bit by making them from behind or better yet not positional. That would increase dragoon survival more then any ability they could give us. Since the safest place for melee is generally the back of the boss.

They could change the requirements of some of lancer's/Dragoon's combos to positioning at max/near max auto attack range like how archers have to be so far away from the target to combo.

I don't understand. Dragoon is awesome. Survivability? Imo Dragoon is a job that requires a lot of skill. Take to much damage from small aoe? Attack from full range of your weapon. You want a jump that evades? That's elusive jump, you can use it for more then one purpose. Keeping life/power surge up can be a pain sure, but again if you're skillful enough it can be done. I have no problem with keeping up the dps. I like the fact Dragoon is a busy job and requires skill. I suspect in this case it's not so much the Dragoon but the player that's lacking. Step up your game or find an easier job to enjoy playing I would say. Learn to dodge, learn how to make the most of your abilities and stop blaming the job.

I know that dragoon requires alot of skill i know that well
but what i'm suggesting that in the near future we will see More Primal Fights and since you are a drg you know as well how our HP is low and without having an abillty that makes us survive ppl will dump us for sure since we will become sacrificial lamps.

I'm Good at pulling of Power Surge 3 and keeping it up but the issue is our low HP vs Astral flows. Which atm Instantly Kills us.
