Dragoon Discussion

[Zelld]

As with all advanced job classes you have to do a quest for it.

Personally, I'll be a DRG/PLD unless it's proven to be horribly, unbelieveably bad. I couldn't imagine why though - at higher levels, high PLD defense + white magic + jump = not gonna get hurt much.

hmm, stent, I think newbies to FF would choose familiar jobs like WAR, WHM, RNG, and BLM. I mean, what FF newbie has ever heard of a Red Mage or maybe even a Monk? These are (mostly) FF-specific jobs that don't show up much in other series (or if they do, they are different), and I think DRG falls under that category.

Somebody needs to get a hold of the list of names you can give to your Wyvern. I wish you could just name it in the same way you name your character, though.

I agree, DRG will be heavly overpopulated after a short while. For example (real examples) people were actually standing in line to fight the dragon for the dragoon quest. and 1 person saw 6 DRG in 15 minutes in one area...myself being a huge DRG fan (played legend of DRG and most of FF's), i rly want to be DRG, but im starting to consider ninja so im not looked at as one who "follows the crowd" and "some newb who thinks they look cool. Hopefully, after some time the hype will die down and all thos "bandwagoners" will switch to sumin else.:confused:

and i think the combo of DRG/PLD would be good as well, i mean, with jump its easy to be safe from the moster, plus the high D and wht magic will let u recover easily if u are hit.

As great as it may sound and look to have a gaint dragon following behind you. It is a very bad thing for parties and alliances. I am certain they will get in the way of targeting a monster or creating more video lag. Hopefully they will give you an ability that will shrink it for use during these times.

I see sooo many dragoons in vana'diel now.
I think best support job is war and whm so far, whm is especially good when you are soloing (dragon could heal you and cure your poison )
But i'm still not sure about joining a party with dragoon since he always has to heal after the fight to heal his dragon. One time, a dragoon in my party didn't even join renkei since he was too worried about his dragon. If square could add some kinda job ability to heal dragon, partying with dragoon would be much better.

[exile2k3]

nah i think not, you dont click on the monster with a mouse, so you dont have to worry about the drag being in the way, and wyvern isnt dragoons only ability

[Melkaiah]

Good to hear about targeting. It may not be that big of a problem then. My question is this though. If a dragoon can heal their pet through sub as whm. Can anyone heal the dragoons pet?

[Trapezius]

Actually, you can click on the dragon, but it's fairly smalll (same size or smaller) than most of the monsters you'll be fighting so targeting won't be a problem unless you have a Full Dragoon Alliance (FDA lol):spin:

And for Melkaiah's question, anyone can heal a Dragon as long as they have curative magic. I don't think it is possible to use items on it tho.

Dude the first thing I thought when i heard about ffxi was sweetness to the tenth power i can be a dragoon in an mmorpg so i cant be accused of the band wagon phenomenon( I assumed that they would be in the game because i heard it was class based) So boo ya I'm going to be a dragoon and i dont care how many people accuse me of Following a trend they can suck donkey balls for all i care

[Storml2age]

I hear ya, I've been wanting to be a dragoon from the first time I heard FFXI was in development as an mmorpg, Kain and Cid were two of my all time favorite characters from final fantasy, Kimarhi and Freya fell short. I also played Legend of the Dragoon which by the way was a kick ass game. If aybody accuses me of jumping on the dragoon bandwagon I'll hurl obsenities and small rocks in their general direction.

[Talis]

actually dragoons aren't popular as much anymore..

everyone tried them out but most didn't like them..

Ninjas and Summoners are the Most Popular Now..



So there is no bandwagon anymore really, the hype went down..

-Elite told me this

[Fox Excalibur]

no one seemed to really answer this...

No, your wyvern does NOT grow, at all. The large dragon from the old ripped pictures off the CD was the dragon you fight to get the Dragoon job.

You will see every dragoon in game has the same size wyvern.

and just to mention a small point about a subbed Knight to IleDeus, The fact they get any white magic is greatly ineffective as a sub, thier level being cut by half, and then the small amount of magic they get makes it insignifigant for the monsters youll be fighting in a party. Though the added defence in a plus

[Talis]

Warrior is the best to sub because you can taunt, and i hear from importers that dragoons can take a beating pretty well (Not as good as a paladin though)

Plus dragoons use most of the Warriors Equipment.

To Those of You Who Have a DRG

I am wondering what their Job abilities and Passive Abilities are, other than the jumps and such. Though I am more interested in the Passive Abilties.

[Gurada]

Oh, and what are the Dragoon's Main stats, and low stats?:confused:
