December Update: Dragoon Finally Gets FixedFollow

As I've been saying all morning, "We'll believe it when we see it.". All my faith in SE had evaporated well before now, I'll be genuinely surprised if this is true. If it is, good news. Now all we'd have to do is convince the server of that as well, something that's been proven [Impossible to gauge].

I am a bit confused though. As I understood it Call Wyvern was the dragoon's two hour ability, now they are going to have a 20 minute ability? I mean I know a LOT of dragoons and I'm really happy for them, but doesn't that seems a little bit messed up? So the other jobs will have to wait 2 hours while a dragoon gets to use his every 20 minutes? That seems a bit unfair

Well, the deal is, the Dragoon gets a new two-hour ability, that will actually be useful when the sh*t hits the fan.
A lot of what was wrong with dragoon was that the wyvern was vulnerable to AOE, and when it died to AOE the dragoon was basically no longer a dragoon. He was a warrior with a polearm.
The wyvern was his unique ability, but if it died he would have to wait a good long time before he could resummon. This took away a good chunk of his damage, and was hella embarrassing, as I can attest as a lvl 30 DRG. -_-;

The dragoon isn't getting two 2-hours; they're just fixing the two-hour that should never have had a two-hour timer to begin with. Imagine if a SMN's avatars could only be called once every two hours. How useful would that be?

OH!! Ok.. *lol* I miss understood then.. my bad, thanks for clarifying guys ^^

I have wood!


(Liking this update a little too much I think. >.> )

I rather they fix the ****** weapon skills dragoon has post 60

Proof that no mater what you do, someone won't be happy with it.

I might start leveling Dragoon after update, I personaly think this change is a good one.

Imagine: A sumoner having to wait 2 hours to call Carby, or a Beastmaster waiting 2 hours to charm that tiger chomping away on their leg..........

Weak you know I love ya man, but you really shouldn't comment on WS's that you never got. Impulse Drive isn't that hot, and honestly I would rather stick with Wheeling Thrust.

That aside, I think this update is just what Drg's have been screaming for. Let's just hope they don't let us down with whatever they're plannin the new 2hour to do.

you son of a ***** **** you allakhazam and your ******* pop ups god damn!!! pop ups destroyed my post!! so anyway now that i have to type this again. im not seeing this as a very good fix. so its a dragoon only ability so that means its going to be level 38+? if thats the case it makes the first 37 levels of dragoon pointless really. also if its earlier than that then they should also take the biggest strengths of other jobs and make them specific to that job only too such as a wars berserk or double attack a sams meditate a ninjas utsusemi a drks souleater or stun a mnks counter a smns avatars a bsts charm and the list goes on for each job. square really didnt think their **** through when creating the dragoon job. i myself like dragoon the way it is but ive also never got it past level 30 with any of my 3 characters. sorry but i see square ******* things up as they always tend to do people crying nerf and square noticing that dragoon is gonna become an unstoppable powerhouse with this.

News post says, "Summon Wyvern will be a 20 minute job ability only availble with drg as main"

Gratz Drgs, you deserved this :D

LOL Hahaha He's just insane! I've seen him serious in ballista, he's a good player.

Eh.. I don't think this fixes DRG, but I do think it justifies having them in a BC party or a CoP party now that (hopefully) they have a good 2-hour. I know DRG is easily capable of going through CoP, but a general pick-up party will not say "hey, let's get a DRG instead of anyone else with a better 2-hour."

They need better skillchain placement, weapon skills, and equippable armor. That's my gripe with DRG. The call wyvern ability will help a bit for experience points parties, since it makes their leveling spots with the wyvern out a bit more flexible.

before we really sit down and discuss how this update will change a drg's role we should see exactly HOW the new 2hour works and what it does. SE was very vague about what it will do. so until i see how this 2hour will work, i'm going to remain neutral about "the new drg".

also, the only real fix drg needs is WS modifiers.
