Thread: 7.1 DRG Changes - SE learned nothing from EW

Honestly just coming here to push this up, cause the other major thread talking about the changes is just arguing about TCJ.

I really hope they reconsider this. I've not seen ANYONE say they like the Dragoon changes vs people arguing about all the other ones.

Throwing in my agreement here too. Nastrond having 3 charges just felt good to pull off, please bring it back. Nastrond isn't flashy enough to be only one skill, like Stardiver. And double-weaving it with the other oGCDs is what made the burst phase so fun. If people thought the burst was too difficult, they can play reaper or one of the other DPS jobs with lower APM.

I love the change, easy (boring) = good.

Everything in 7.1 goes to show that YoshiPs statements about wanting to bring back some complexity to jobs was a total lie. Love to see it.

I miss my Blood of the Dragon and Dragon Sight chat.

i miss the chain. i like how it stretched whenever we jumped around... not like we have asmany jumps left, but still.

also: i liked the skill, it was not annoying at all. it was fairly easy to use with a few macros on your bar.

Yeah, I remember giving static members a slight spook when red tether suddenly jumped in their face, fun times.

Also, pretty much as soon as I started properly raiding back in the beginning of EW, I just slammed 3 macros for Dragonsight:

1. Automatically target 2nd melee (literal no-brainder for raids)
2. To apply buff with mouseover on whoever I liked the most on the party list.
3. Lazy one that goes through the rest of DPS list that I throw away in DF.

It blows my mind how people can't use tools that games gives them to make stuff more comfortable to use.

And back to topic: DRG is a shade of former self. This is NOT the rework I wanted.

As a DRG main since I started in 2.3 this is the first time I haven't enjoyed the class. The only good thing to come from the DT update was the removal of the annoying dragonsight... And really SE? Replace a jump with a lame little dash that also takes one of our few lower level skills away? Hopefully enough people complain so they cave like they did for BLM.

Drg was my first job back in 1.0 and has been since. Its a total disgrace what yoshi and the devs have done to this, once fun class. All complexity has been removed from the game and we are now obviously prepping for when FFXiX moves to a mobile game.
My sub runs out at the end of the month then im done.
