Honestly I rather life surge be removed rather then only having 1 Nastrond. This feels like the wrong sort of change
Could even rework Life surge into a defensive for dragoon... wild idea I know.
If they wanted to reduce weaves, something that shouldn't be done since having tons of oGCDs is a thing DRGs do, they could've simply turned Life Surge into a weaponskill that dealt a (direct) critical hit and perhaps provide a scale. Mirage Dive should've been given the ability to provide a scale, as well, instead of just raising the potency.
Instead, burst windows become more boring and they're literally all the job has. The filler is hollow and uninteresting right now.
Looks like a new low for the job's design.
People who weren't playing the job before won't play it now.
Having all those OGCDs made it fun. The devs refused to learn from the way they ruined Dark knight.




Yeah, I hate the Nastrond change. DRG burst feels fun with the three charges, I don't understand why they thought that gutting the burst would feel good.

+1 to the OP
Fewer Nastronds just feels worse.
I had wanted a slightly longer Nastrond window, like 25-30 seconds, since it was rare to miss it on the opening burst anyway.
That seemed the obvious direction, and I was really very much looking forward to it as a genuine possibility. After all, we had something like that in the past when practically no one was complaining about the job.
Now, I could have probably lived with 2 Nastronds instead 3 (with potency adjustments). But this is awful.
I don't give a damn that the DPS is roughly the same as it was, or slightly increased, it just feels worse to play now.
Haven't Dragoons suffered enough this expac? Why inflict this misery on us?
Please bring it back at least to two.
Mainly just stop taking away stuff! Starcross being usable anywhere is nice but it does not remotely make up for this.

Imagine the next thing to go is Jump and they replace it with some kinda low potency cartwheel crap.. heck, might as well remove the soul crystal cuz DRG is feeling more and more like a normal lancer at this rate.
