Bring back dragoon pets!

[Windwalker]

A pet would lower a DRG's damage, but give the pet more survivability, for example reduced damage taken from AoE like in WoW. Pets in WoW survive or are almost immune when taking damage from AoE as they have about 70% resistance to AoE damage.

I loved the idea of DRG pets in FFXI and their different abilities such as healing, damaging and tanking.

Wyverns would be awezome for Dragoons and would make the job feel a bit more special compared to Warrior, besides, i played SMN for a bit in phase 4 and it feels more fun to have a pet to watch over than just focusing on your characters abilities, i myself love multitasking as i have played a hunter in WoW. Its fun to lay out traps, send the pet out to attack and then just comboing the mobs down.

I read some that DRG pets used to die alot in FFXI and reduced damage from AoE would fix the problem, aslong as the pet does not get the aggro of the boss mob you would do fine.

I noticed alot of mobs in FFXIV deal AoE damage and pets are hard to control once theres an incomming AoE attack.
