Well, personally, the essence of the Dragon path, in terms of gameplay, eludes me. Yes, it increases the chance of certain abilities triggering, but compared to other alignments that get doubled damage, various immunities, and even +30 to defense for seemingly no reason (on top of all other perks), it looks very situational. And this is without even mentioning the fact that most of the alignments mentioned above also give characters access to unique skills. There is an origin tied to it, but even that leaves much to be desired – it would be mediocre if not for the connection to the origin.
However, there are alignments that are even weaker than the Dragon path and need buffs much more. For example, Primordial Fire or Igg, in my opinion, are not the most attractive options, and you also have to sacrifice extremely scarce skill points to use their bonuses. If you need a comparison, Igorrot and Brumma give you magic skills that are just as good, completely for free, and have much stronger base bonuses. Moreover, nothing prevents you from combining Igorrot with an origin that unlocks fire magic.

I'm not entirely sure if it was worth increasing the cost of skills and simultaneously nerfing them (their fourth rank looks worse than those of two-handed and one-handed weapons, where the former get a stronger version of a similar effect (+40-50~ accuracy) and an additional passive, while the latter get an extra attack in contrast to... 30~ evasion?), while spears already didn't have any stat bonuses on specializations, and one of the mastery bonuses (range) hardly plays a role until you acquire a separate skill for 5 skill points.
