Why is it that when Fairy Tail members use dragon force it is overpowered as hell, but when Sabber Tooth uses dragon force it becomes utter shit.
Might have to do with the fact that the bonuses obtained from the Dragon Force is much greater in a First Generation DS than a Third Generation DS. Which makes sense since with the 3rd Generation DS, they have the ability to use it whenever they want so it's a fitting drawback (not getting as much power from it, much like Second Generation Dragonslayer like Laxus or Cobra). Whereas most of Fairy Tail's Dragonslayers are of the 1st generation (Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy) and to access the ability, they need to access some special "power source" (i.e. Etherion), which in turn grants more power than the usual "turn on/off" Dragon Force that the other two generations can do (presumably because of the lacrima in their body).
