Dragoon?

I was looking at the 'class-specific' abilities we currently have and noticed how some say like: "Polearm Required." Does that mean if there were another class that used a pole-arm other than lancer that they would be able to use things like Life Surge, Speed Surge, etc?

I think currently we have the "weapon required" is to limit certain skills from being used by other classes. But in the future if there were classes that used Polarmish other than LNC, they should be able to use those skills as well.

On the topic, Jump is already in the data files i heard.

Jump: Leap high into the air, gaining immunity to all attacks. Used by both DoW/DoM.
along with,

Overrun(I,II,III):Close in on an enemy, inc TP and dealing Piercing dmg, executed only when target is unaware of your presence. Used by both DoM/DoW.

Ring of Thorns: Thrust your polearm in all directions, inc attack power and dealing piercing dmg to nearby targets. Used by LNC only.

Onslaught: Unleash a calculated attack, dealing piercing dmg, tp consumed depending on the target distance. Used by both DoM/DoW

Righteous Way: Show an enemy the path of righteousness, dealing piercing dmg, consume TP to increase attack. Used by LNC only.

Not sure if these are still going tobe implemented tho.

Indeed! Jump is dragoons' signature move...it will always be with them. Its like Throw at ninjas...the signature move of FF ninja is throw...they throw bombs, surikens, items, gil...or whatever else they have in hand. I bet in FFXI you couldn't throw gear and weapon because it would be way too troublesome for GMs...just imagine the amount of people mistakenly throwing some rare/ex endgame equip at monters by accident? =P

This is what makes me look foward to black mage...i wanna see how -ga spells will work here...if will be fulltime AoE, it will be just stronger than current nukes...because -ga spells are their signature moves ^^

This game is going to be drastically different. Instead of Dragoon, lancers will ride chocobo's and become chocoboknights!

It does is a possibility. After all, there's a few jobs that use polearm other than LNC...dragoons, chocobo knights, templars...we are saying dragoon because its the more classic one, but there is a chance of any of these others to show up later on.

Actually dragoons will have the power to transform their bodies into formidable wyvrens themselves. How awesome would that be? But yes I would like my jump back. Maybe instead of a wyvren we get original weaponskills in the likeness of dragon abilities.

Yes, add jumps if you must, but just make something, hell.. anything as long as its new!I just dont want to see a copy/paste of ffxi job system.. f*ck that, I will just play ffxi then.

But yeah, add a dragon-like new ability. Maybe something like "Dragon heart" - Automatically resets all dragoon/lance cooldowns, also boosts your speed with your auto-attacking lance.

Something like that would be real neat, I think.

I want to play FFXIV.
I would love to be a Dragoon.
I would love to have Koffla Poffla rise again!

Dragoon would most deffinitely be the job i would choose having played lancer for the majority of my time on ffxiv. I'd love to see a dragoon set up simmilar to ffix's freya making use of dragon powers as well as jumps and throwing javelins down on the enemy from mid air. Having played xi i wouldn't say no to a wyvern either so long as they give us some customizability of the wyvern. Ofcourse anything new brought to the table will be appreciated as well =)

Now that i think about it Freya is one of my favourite type of dragoons in FF, she had some pretty cool dragoon abilities
