New Dragoon Ability (IDEA)

[Titancleaver]

True Dragon Sight

Summons a small Dragon to attack whatever we are attacking at that moment. Also tethering eyes to both us and partner of choice.
Of course increasing damage dealt as usual.


It would be a nice homage to FF11 Dragoon pet and it makes more sense now (SPOILER WARNIN) than in ARR with Dragons not being enemies any longer (esp with where Estinien is at right now)

I think they had this back in 1.0 but correct me if Im wrong. Also I believe they took it out due to the bad AI system which isn't that better now. Also don't see much reason to add it other then your history in HW with the brood. Not saying I don't like the idea but I don't think it would be possible. Also you got summoner already having a pet might be a clash in identity if you just give DRG a pet and now with DRk having living shadow its even more of a no, plus reaper if you where thinking that they have a combo system around it. Idk since reaper will be sharing drg gear I cant say it could be impossible but it wouldn't be a pet it would be that just like reaper weaved in with your combos.

Pets? No.

You'll find plenty of comments about how horrible the pets are in this game.
They're either clunky like SCH and SMN pets.
Or they're glorified dots like DRK or MCH.

No pets!

In my idea it wouldn't be a pet. It would be a glorified DOT which I wouldn't mind because it would be visually pleasing.

"pets" nowaday are juste proxies for your actions that either :
-stay slightly behind you
-go to the target
-stay/go to a position and don't move
they may auto attack/heal.

That is pretty much exactly what the wyvern was in XI : following you, auto-attacking your target, and using a breath on certains actions you use.

Chocobo use actions on it's own and is still on the aggro list (like most pets prior to ShB) other than that, it has more control on it's behaviour ("role" mode) and it's actions are locked behind a grind system.

"worst" case (if anything get done) : idk if it's possible , but just glamour "blood/life of the dragon" ? just an option to replace the blue/red animation and have a wyvern instead ? (like carby/egi glam). that way it's not "more visual clutter" ; juste a trade

And, most importantly...
-lag

Can't leave out the essential point, as that's been the main commonality after taking away separate HP bars and the ability to activate pet skills even while casting other abilities.

-lag

I know it's an issue with sch/smn, but is there any lag issue with mch pet ? or drk/nin "pets" ?
From what i know (but i may be wrong), the lags comes in when the player give an order to the pet.
Ex : For sch, the pixie is actually super responsive and start an embrace as soon as any player lose 1 hp (which in turn delay even more any action requested by the sch)

Ignoring the poster above, yes I do believe a FFXI style Wyvern could work. It works lore wise and could function well with auto attack along with breath attack during certain abilities.

As a former DRG main in XI, you have all my support.
I always keep the wyvern minion with me, but it's just not the same...
