Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

you can't sub call wyvern. :p says so in the update. Call Wyvern is now a drg only ability and drgs get a new 2 hour

Double Post Edited:
And where is Impaction? >_> I've been waiting for him to show his face all day. Could he really have died? That would suck. And it would be kinda ironic. Dying on the day that they decide to update drg. Well, at least I think it's ironic. Or maybe it's just unfortunate.

i think impaction probably died for the excessive splooging he has done today.

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

This actually covers the vast majority of DRG issues. Even HNM, or other endgame activities are helped by this. The only things that come to mind is that it has little or no effect on armor selection while leveling, and has no effect on DRG as a sub. Then again, I doubt anyone cares for the last one, and I'm sure the first will flesh out with time.

Other than that. . . WOOHOO! This is frickin' sweet!

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

I have a question, what do you think the enhancement on jumps would be? I was thinking higher attack and accuracy or maybe some kind of "en-" effect.

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

Hoping for higher atk and acc... I wouldn't care for a random en- effect.

It's really depressing to see how the FFXI community works. People have spent years dragging the Dragoon job in the dirt, calling it a gimp worthless job, and when the news of a buff rolls around, they go apeshit and start talk about how they can't wait to unlock it, or level it past 10 now.

I think that's really pathetic. @_@

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

I have just returned to Vana'diel however I took DRG to 75 before I quit. I started at NA release and have always liked DRG and always will.

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

Here's a few questions to consider. Will Summon Wyvern become an ability you can spend merit points on? Will there be any change to Dismiss? Will the wyvern's power be reduced due to DRG being given a 2-hr? If so, how much?

All in all, if the changes mentioned in the release are the ONLY changes made, then I think this will be very good. Even as far as solo is concerned, DRG will be more powerful in the respect that the wyvern won't feed the enemy TP like it does now. Mage subs will be a little more effective then.

And I almost forgot one of the biggest questions: How will this affect the Maat fight for anyone that hasn't done it?

Its the exact opposite of the RNG nerf. A job loved by all and played by probably 20% of population. Suddenly, rng's can only do the same or near dmg with a different sub and with a different playstyle and the rng forums are flooded with "rng suck" and "im quitting rng and you should too". Roughly 70-80% of the world are sheep. Just remember that.

Merrit : Call Wyvern
Description : Let you call 1 more wyvern per point, for a total of 4 wyverns at the same time.

Auron517 - SE mentioned DRG was "unpopular." So if this change attracts more players to play DRG, then that's exactly what S-E wants :p

LOL, I think thats what SE would determine to be "overpowered".

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

I know it was SE's intention to bring more players to DRG, and I am indeed grateful, but I'm so tired of the bandwagon mentality.

It just bothers me that now all of the people who left Ranger for MNK, BLM, WAR, SAM might go level up their DRG because it's the "cool" thing to do.

If it makes you feel any better I leveled it to 14 already a few months ago XD

*still waiting for Impaction to show up and finally be happy for once*
