Changes to the Dragoon Job

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

I know this is a good thing, but party of me still feels a sense of accomplishment if I keep my Wyvern out for a full 2hrs with out getting her killed. lol I wonder will that change now that I can just call her again every 20 minutes. I wonder how this will effect the usage of Spirit Link now.

I just bought gear to use with my DRG, THF, and SAM. I didn't even know about the update until I told the LS I was planning on leveling it tonight. haha

Meh, No complaining here. the Dragoon update. It's great that Dragoon is more appealing and more people will try it out, I was just expressing my dismay over the attitudes of players of the game. I just find all players who job hop ridiculous, people going back and forth to which job is hot at the moment.

But no matter, the people who are simply leveling Dragoon as a fad will quickly become disinterested and move on to the new jobs when ToAU comes out, or back to some other uber dd job.

Btw Intensity, How's the Samurai going for you after you ran away from Ranger after the last update?

ZING!!!

I level pretty much all jobs. There are only two jobs I don't actually like. WHM and BRD just drive me nuts. I can't handle BRD for more than 2hrs. And WHM just annoys me. Even though I need to level it.

I'm gonna go level DRG tonight. I need a break from my other jobs. I always level DRG when I just want some pure fun! ^^

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

I really like the Dragoon Job, pree patch and even more post patch. I dont mind the fact that people are going to like it more now that SE has made it easier and therefore more enjoyable to play. the TP bonus gear on Jump they releaced not too long ago was also a godsend.

Will I level DRG. Yes, on one of my alternate characters, as I had planed before the update. But not on my main job.

I play a job for the love of the class, and how enjoyable it is to play, not cause its more powerful/etc.

But I am really exited for Drgs now!

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

Mmmmm...It looks like we'll have to see about all this. I AM very glad that the wyvern is no longer the 2hr. Me and my ls have at length said many times we should have gotten something else...maybe a super weaponskill or something. The jumps could be something special now too. A DRG/THF can do a 300+ dmg jump on Kirin. With this now added bonus and possible effects...hmmmm....maybe different effects with different subs? It could make things very interesting.

The 2hr should be something new hopefully. Some special effect or something from the power of the wyvern. From what I have seen SE has never duplicated a 2hr, as it is "unique" to the job....both in effect and in name. So I doubt this will be like Mighty Strikes or Hundred Fists. We'll just have to see.

Insofar as the many people who are no "suddenly" going to pick up DRG because they believe they don't suck anymore...I would agree thats sad. Then there are idiots like Tsikuro above me (Who is even more sadly from my home server -.-). But thats my opinion.

As for DRG equip, thats just fine for me. I can make money off you all >:D.

Don't expect DRG to go from the "lowest" DD (quoted because it was never my opinion) to the "highest", so to speak. Just because you've gotten "shafted" (again quoted because in my opinion, you haven't) doesn't mean you can suddenly expect to be omgwtfpwnzor. Many will say that DRG have gotten shafted, and some of the same people have also said DRG aren't a bad DD in the first place, but those two are contradicting, in a sense. So I take it from your request for uberness that you think you've gotten shafted and have always sucked, yet still want more after this already generous change. However even that is contradicting your statements, because it's clear you don't think much of Tsikuro's opinion that you're useless.

I'm just saying that it's easy to let greed take over sometimes ; ; Just be greatful :\

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

Wierd how a PLD says DRGs are gay.

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

In all actuality, I was speaking of it in terms of a 2hr, not in terms of a normal weaponskill. In some terms, you could say that the 2hr IS a souped-up weaponskill of sorts. Not all of them are like this, but some are.

Please read the whole passage as well as the sentences besides the one you were focusing on before calling me greedy or saying that I suddenly think DRG should be "omfgbbqwtfleet". I was speaking of a 2hr, not otherwise.

Re: Changes to the Dragoon Job

Please dont generalize >< I am working on taking drg to lvl 75 and have not complained about the task pre patch, nor will I post patch. I do what needs to be done to see my goal met.

Same here. I leveled my DRG to 37 long before this patch. I am happy that DRG does get better with this update and I admit I was one of the angriest DRG in the whole land of Fairy server because I felt SE treated us like crap. But when push comes to shove, you got to give it to SE. They always bring out something good concerning FFXI.

I admit I'll kind of miss Call Wyvern being a 2hr now that it won't be one, but before this I was always calling for it to be a 20 minute job. When I got more efficient over time, it just came to the point I could call/dismiss my wyvern any time I wanted almost. I then would wonder if they'll still let you summon the wyvern before the 20m is up if you dismissed it with full health.

As others said though, I hate that there are going to be a bunch of DRG-job sheeps in FFXI just because of the patch. DRG is not a job the many should play, the DRG is supposed to be a complexity so that the few who truly enjoy it would make it shine. (Don't take what I said as a complaint though!)

drg r teh ghey

You are a moron.

/disgusted

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. @_@

who cares?

now the job seems more appealing to some people. now they want to play it. so what?! yea it sucks that drg has gotten stomped on the past couple years but SE is trying to change things. This is something that benefits everyone. people that have played, are playing, thinking of playing and play with drg.

i dont know why you think its depressing or pathetic. oh, is this some form of 'not keeping it real' or something insanely childish? if it is, get over it. this is a great update for drg and the ffxi community alike.

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.

just b/c u suffered thru lvling drg, (im assuming u did) doesnt mean its not ok for people to play drg now just b/c they didnt suffer too. what kind of thinking is that?

Untrue.
