Drg is a pet job because they have a pet.
But they dont usually have a place in a pet shell because they just dont fit into the strategy.
If u really wanted to be a dragoon in a pet shell im shure u could do it. You would just prolly die a lot or be put in the cor party so the smns and pups would get more MAB and Macc from drachen roll. All in all you would be a glorified cheerleader because u just dont fit into the strategy of a pet burn.
Personally in my linkshell i wont turn away a dragoon who is a wyvern freak. But i warn them ahed of time that there not gonna have much of a place in events.
DRG = Pet Job?
DRG = Pet job?
This is debatable.
Drg Has a wyvern, which indeed is a pet. Drg however does not have the ability to give direct... orders i guess to its pet.
-Edit-
Now, if you were to ask me personally, i'd say Yes, it is a job with a pet, but it is not a "pet job"

i dont think there is really any debate...yes its a pet job..but the pet doesn't do ***but engage or heal lol. they dont do much is the problem. need your TP to offensively breath or need you to cast a spell to trigger healing breaths. smns are much stronger, as are bst, as are pups as far as their pet goes
I think tarus should be allowed to ride on their dragons. It makes perfect sense.

So... what color is adaburk?
DRG is not a pet job. It just has a permanent enwyvern effect.

Not as permanent as liked against certain AoE mobs!
I'd say DRG isn't a pet job despite having a "pet", as the fundamental mechanics of the job are entirely different, and the strategies you can use it with.
EDIT: to be more specific, if you're looking for a pedantic definition then DRG is a pet job. If you're looking for a useful definition, it is not.

Healing 400 with 6mp is pretty usefull >_>
Two scenarios (correct me if I'm wrong, I never pet burn anything);
1. Melee => can heal sure, but Wyvern is likely to be in full AoE range and hence taking a lot of damage. If you are not going heavy petburn, would be more efficient just to take a dedicated healer.
2. Kiting => idea of pet jobs is that you don't take damage => why bring a DRG when you can bring a SMN or BST/magesub who can sustain themselves and deal damage in this event?
Wyvern can't heal pets either, I am fairly sure.

Meh, Drg still best dd pet job in game >_<
Oh agreed, in terms of pure melee capabilities it's easily top tier in my opinion. I just don't think it fits into the category of pet jobs as far as battle/tactical mechanics goes.
dark knight haves tons of useful mage spells does it make it a hybrid mage job ?????????

i still like healing myself and others around 400 with just 6mp, but they need to add more ways to cure wyvern, or lower recast timer for pet recast
The thing i wish they would change the most is prolly something like choosing between a dif kinda wyvern, lil tiny blue dragon gets boring
, would love to have a wyvern like that *** drg npc in campaign battle, anyways going to bed
DRG solo is like any other DD solo, except you have greater healing potential. It's completely unlike pet job solo which involves lots of kiting and keeping the enemy at arm's length using your pet; some targets DRG will do better than another pet job, and some it will do worse. This is another reason why I don't consider it a pet job for purposes of functionality; they are just so different!
lol <3 this..
i cannot TELL you how many times ive been saved because my wyvern decided to be a PLD and tank mobs.
and agree
YES its a pet job because end of day its the drg and wyvern cumulative aka dmg wise.
BUT its nto a "pet ls" job.. why?
because end of day most are sic pet owners sit back and relax just heal the pets or w/e and let pet do the work.. drg cant do this.. they just have their "pet" to enhance the job they're doing

But anyways, imo DRG is a pet job. It's a job, with a pet. The most you notice the wyvern is when a drg is soloing drg/mage and that wyvern is keeping his *** alive like no tomorrow.
yes, lmao, i'm a taru and i solo quite often. i've been in many situations where all i can do is spam the ***out of head butt

only 400 hp? thats pretty weak
Once my wyvern levels up, I generally get into the upper 500s and low 600s. I can also break 1k with Deep Breathing.
If you use an item that is designed to remove a status effect from a pet and it works on a Wyvern then yes its a pet job, pretty simple really.

DRG is to pet job as DRK is to mage.
It has a pet, yes, but that argument is just splitting hairs. "Pet job" refers to SMN, PUP, and BST; jobs that focus primarily on the pet.

Does "Increases pet ____" affect wyverns?
Titan.Lillica said:

Well for example Aega's Doublet. Has pet ACC on it and DRG can wear it, so no effect on wyverns? Then I would say it is not a pet.

You sure... Stuff like the Aega's Doublet works for PUP BST and SMN so I don't see why it wouldn't work for Dragoon.
Yea i dont think thats right either, the DRG magian polearms all have a pet: +xx path
