For those of you who don't know: a few days prior, Dev entertained the idea of a Dragoon promoted class over OOC, which was requested by some of the players. Though I don't know how seriously he took it at the time, I decided to create some possible abilities for it anyway, in hopes that some of them will be taken for consideration. Note that I'm a returning player and thus have been "out of the loop" over Sigrogana 2's developments for a time, so if any of my suggestions go against the flow of the game, feel free to correct them (and in the case of Dev, if he reads this, adjust it any way he likes). Also, due to my weakness in the subject of math, feel free to suggest alternate calculations and the like.
New Duelist Promotion: Dragoon
Pros:
Finally, a class that focuses on the use of spears!
Combat style based on being Airborne or not
Incredible movement options
Synergy with classes that can hover
Cons:
Due to the focus on spears, using anything other than one will not benefit you
Monks will likely counter this class
Focus on Wind and Lightning skills hurts one's elemental selection
Not even trying to hide the reference to FF's famous class
