But.. but.. you can buff your wyvern now... that's good.. right?

Re: yay wyvern breathe accuracy ^^

The wyvern breath can actually miss?

[seq]

Re: yay wyvern breathe accuracy ^^

will... seeing what other jobs got, nope
buffing wyvern every 5 minutes for let's say... how long haste lasts?

Double Post Edited:
anyways all the new job abilities/trait are to buff the wyverns ... except Angon which seems nice but WAR gets ability to lower Defense too /sigh

Re: yay wyvern breathe accuracy ^^

ir probably works like magic acc, in that it reduces resist, not melee acc

"Enhances the effect of next wyvern breathe" will that mean it'll add Effects to the wyvern breathes? debuffs?

Doubtful. No wyvern breath attacks anywhere in the game do anything except straight elemental damage (including those in Dynamis, as well as Wynavs in Lumoria). Might be good to use if it doubles the effect of Healing Breath III or something.

Angon is supposedly ranged, which could be useful.

Empathy... eh... depending on the party/alliance, could be useful. Passing Minuet III + IV to your Wyvern should let it do outrageous amounts of damage to NMs (since Wyverns are already known to be able to avoid much of the level penalty). I guess it depends if it just transfers one buff, or all.

This is all talking in context of end-game of course. I'm not sure this is enough boost to make DRGs usable at end-game but I guess its a start.

Re: yay wyvern breathe accuracy ^^

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I was expecting another jump or a trait to add effects to the ones we have. I was personally hoping for a way to get Auto Refresh and/or Auto Regen. But what upsets me is what other jobs get. Absorb-TP for DRK? I know we do better at TP than them, but don't they keep up with us anyway?

Well, once I get there, Strafe looks like the best first choice from the description. Empathy may or may not be good depending on how it chooses which effect to give your wyvern. First it has to dismiss any effects it already has. Second certain effects need to be looked for as priority. Third it needs to take the effect with the longest duration left. If it does those three things, then effects like Stoneskin, Regen, En-spells, Protect, Shell, foods, and COR buffs, could actually be very useful. Come to think of it, I better hurry up and level cooking. I foresee Carbonara, Pescatora, Arrabiato, Bosciola, and other +HP foods becoming popular. That is. . . if you can reliably share that with your wyvern.

Well. We'll see, won't we?

Use Sanction Refresh thats more then enough.

Re: yay wyvern breathe accuracy ^^

I'm aware of sanction refresh. My statement was made with that knowledge.

Re: yay wyvern breathe accuracy ^^

This seems awesome.

Angon: We get an ability Dragoons have been asking for forever: throwable lances. And instead of doing piddly damage, they lower the enemies defense. That is excellent for every aspect of dragoon.

Empathy: talk about potential. We all know a good portion of our damage comes from our wyvern. And we all know that the buffs we receive maximize our own damage output. Now we have an ability to transfer those boosts to our wyvern. The wyvern rocks enough as it is. Imagine it with a few attack boosts and haste.

Deep Breathing and Strafe: Come on. Better breaths is always good. Sure, they may not seem like a lot, but they could prove quite effective.

All in all, I am quite pleased.

no they dont. drk/thf cant keep up with any of the other melees in terms of tp gain. there's a reason why drks arent sought after fast merit point pts.

Re: yay wyvern breathe accuracy ^^

use food > get bard buffs (if you're lucky, get hasted) > activate berserk > Spirit Link it all to your Wyvern? Yea that'd be bloody good. I'd be all over that and Angon. Also, if it's a JA I'm betting it's unavoidable. Completely unresistable debuff. Tell me some of you wouldn't enjoy that. The warrior's version says "a Special defense down effect" vs Angon's "lowers enemy's defense." Probably just a wording thing but... who knows, maybe they'll stack or something.

Re: Absorb-TP. I think this is a move to appease and likely, an attempt to make the player base think the dark knights are more capable of keeping up in tp. Practical application, this is barely a boost in tp. You'll prolly absorb 20 tp tops, and often as low as 4-6 tp. Toss in the 4 seconds that it freezes your melee attack which gets you (likely) more tp as well as actually contributing to the damage pool and it doesn't look too handy. I had thought at first that it'd be a nice toy for pulling but then I realized that you'd always get 0 tp since - you know - the mob wouldn't have tp yet.

Re: yay wyvern breathe accuracy ^^

My friend just absorbed 76% tp from a exp mob with capped drk magic skill and drk magic enhancing relic. Drks get it for a reason, we don't need more tp because we already do that very well. Out of the jobs i play smn/drg/bst/pup, I am by far most impressed with the dragoon merits. They intergrate the wyvern deeper into the core of the job. I saw a dragoon playing around outside alzhabi and used deepbreathing. Wyver breath hit for 369, and i'm assuming it gets better with strafing and maybe +hp food effect added to wyvern through empathy. Give yourselves a pat on the back dragoon. we deserve it.
