Dragoon is next

[Ransu]

Or they just want to buy themselves more time - wait 5 more months until most non-casual SAM players leave or swap, then off they go gut another job. New wave of DRG mains who never had the need to go to forums will swarm this place just like we did and cycle continues.

Honestly if they ruin DRG I don't know what else to play. We have a nin in my static so I can't swap to that and I'm kinda meh about nin anyways. RPR got boring really quick, and while I initially liked the mnk changes, by the time I got it to 90 I aboslutely hated it. So I'm pretty SOL on melee jobs as a pretty much melee only player who mained BRD for an extremely brief period in SB.

[Ransu]

Possibly, but that is still on par with the severe backlash from SAM changes. Hopefully we'll know more next month,

It's happening whether we like it or not, so I am going to wait and see before I make up my mind about it.
It's a good sign however that they're not rushing it.

Edit: Also we've had reworks before that have been great.
We've had bad ones too so I understand being a bit scared and skeptical.
But I still think we should wait and see before getting too mad.

Look at the plus side. The backlash from SAM was so severe they actually decided to hold off on releasing the changes in 6.2. Hopefully that means they are re-evaluating their job design philosophies they have been recently pushing.

I never heard them say that, aren't Job changes normally covered in part 2 of the live letters?

[Ransu]

Any actual changes are generally covered in part 2 yes, but they announced in todays LL that the planned changes for AST and DRG are being delayed as they were "wary" of the feedback received from the SAM changes. Basically it was an "oh shit we fucked up and don't know what to do now" without completely acknowledging that they fucked up.

Countdown till we have no more fun dps jobs left to play (ok, there's ninja, but it doesn't feel as good as drg by far)

Why tho, dragoon feels amazing right now
is it gonna lose all its positionals now? <_<

It has two positionals like all other melees (ninja even has 3), so I think that's the only think safe for keeping. The rest though...

Three actually

Chaotic Spring (Rear)
Wheeling Thrust (Rear)
Fang and Claw (Flank)

I'm betting they remove the positional from Chaotic Spring personally.

You're right, I'm a potato.

since they hate anything other than circle aoes, i wonder if drg might get ring of thorns back since they're undoubtedly eyeing its line aoes
