Im quite interested in making use of them since level 1, which leave 2 classes open, since for cavaliers they are... well useless as far as i could see.
With this said i have very little experience with both shammans and druids, so i would like advice on ideas for builds using the archetypes that give these two classes a drake companion.
Are you playing PFS? If yes, you will never be able to mount your dragon. I wish their starting size was Small to be honest. Better off playing a Summoner, because Drakes are nothing more than a weaker version of the Summoner. And everything that 'might' use them as a Mount gets every important thing gutted from their kit.
