I do love the idea of a new dragon set coming out, but after looking at the recent nerf the Primal Dragon got made this update practically pointless to grind... considering you need the full set for the set to matter compared to necron/crimson with warden helm.
So, my idea to top this update: Primal Dragon Reborn! (EVERY Dragon Set) (This can be a V2 if V1 is received well)
I have 2 ways this could be obtainable and making the Primal Dragons worth spawning and grinding for. (besides Mythic EDrag & Beastiary)
1st way: Upgrading with Fragments
So the first idea is a very simple one, Getting a bunch of Primal Dragon fragments and surrounding your set of choice for the Primal set. Example: surrounding a piece with a stack of Primal Dragon fragments to turn into Primal (Dragon piece.)
This is the most simple idea, but most effective since people can get fragments from the dragon itself and or salvage them for the frags. (Amount of frags for the upgrade would vary for how good it would be) (stats would be lower than my 2nd idea.)
2nd way: Dragon Hearts!
Now this one could lean more into the RNG aspect, but could make the stats a bit higher to grind for compared to the fragment way.
This way introduces: Dragon Hearts!
This involves rolling for a rare chance to drop a piece of the Dragon Heart, get 4 of these Heart Fragments and you can make the Full Heart of the Dragon you had the shards for.
The way this would be incorporated to not overflow the loot pool with 8 different fragments per dragon, is to have the specific heart pieces be with that dragon ONLY.
Example:
Superior Heart fragments (or Full heart if you want to make that more rare) can only be found in Superior Dragons, Protector Heart fragments are only found in Protector Dragons etc.Once the Dragon Heart is made, you can combine it in a anvil along with your Dragon set, (i know everyone has a Superior set that is rotting away) and make the set more powerful than ever! (1 Heart per piece) (And everything on the armor would transfer over, Master stars enchants etc.)
Not only will this make this update worth grinding for a long time and make decent returns on coins, this would FINALLY make the OG Dragon sets useful in the modern day of Power Creep! These sets would serve as perfect replacements to the Wither Sets if put enough time into it! (but not completely overshadow Crimson Isle stuff for obvious reasons)
Now, how would the sets behave/look like...? Considering i have a huge passion for the Dragon sets, i would like feedback in the comments too! (but these are just my ideas for building on in the future.)
These are in order from best to worst currently. and Primal Dragon is sticking around too! (but needs a bit of a boost right now)
1. Superior Dragon (Primal)
Now Superior is always seen as the Master of all Dragon, but with Primal being a way better version of it there is no reason to use it at all unless you are mid game. So my potential solution is to really go all in on that "Master of All."
Keep in mind that these stats are only a concept. But abilites i really like overall.
New Stats!
+5 Ferocity, +1 Mana Regen and +0.25 swing range to all pieces (you will see why later)Strength and Crit Damage goes from 10% -> 25% and Crit Chance goes from 2% -> 5% (all pieces)
Health: +70 to all pieces
Defense: +70 to all pieces
Speed: +2 to all pieces
Mana: +30 to all pieces (Now has 1 Combat and 1 Universal Gem slot per piece instead of 1)
Now these don't look worth it VS. necron, until you see the set bonus. Now i was debating on Tiered bonuses or Full set bonuses and i have not decided on tiered yet so i made them full. +% = Additive
Full set bonus: Primal Superior
Increases most of your stats (profile) by +10% But if you have a Ender Dragon pet equipped, increases it by +15% instead of +10%.
This way so E drag and Superior have more of a special pairing together to give the G-Drag a run for its money, but you will be deciding on Bulk + Damage or Raw Damage. (and yes E drag will still give that +10% additive bonus)
2. Wise Dragon (Primal)
Wise has been heavily outclassed by all the mage sets + wither goggles but obviously this set was made back in the early days, so what if we gave potential competition..?
New Stats! +2.5% Mana Regen and +10% Ability Damage to all pieces
Health: +70 Health to all pieces (still underneath base Storm)
Defense +40 to all pieces
Mana: +200 to Helmet and +125 to every other piece (still underneath base Storm) (has 2 Mana gem slots per piece instead of 1)
Now the catch with this set is the ability, or abilities if you will 
Full Set Bonus: Primal Wise (Swap between abilites by pressing the Z button)
Naturally: Reduce all mana cost abilities by 25% and gain +10% mana regen
Ability 1: Increase the overall mana cost by 25% and increase ability damage by +50% But, you take 25% more damage from all sources for 30 seconds.
Ability 2: Reduce the overall mana cost by 25% and increase mana regen by +10% But, you take 25% less damage from all sources for 30 seconds.
Now, this seems very unrealistic but very doable but with different stat numbers and gives you the choice of being either a Mage that can do a LOT of damage at the cost of death, or have more Mana to use with the extra benefit of more Bulk.
3. Strong Dragon (Primal)
Remember when Strong + Tarantula Helmet was the GOAT combo? i do too, but those times are long gone and is outclassed by Frozen Blaze, and Necron. Now to shake things up.
New Stat! Swing Range +0.25 to all pieces
Strength: +25 -> +50 for all pieces
Health: +70 to all pieces
Defense: +60 to all pieces (now has 2 Jasper Gem slots per piece instead of 1)
Stats are still under Necron in terms of HP, but higher in Defense. Now for the ability.
Full Set Bonus: Primal Strong
Gain +1 Crit Damage for every 10 Strength you have (max: 5000)
Increase the stats of Aspect of the End/Void by +100 damage +100 strength +200 intelligence. (+5 teleport range)
Yes, you read that right. If you have 5000 strength you will gain 500 Crit Damage! (on profile) this will boost its use in dungeons by a mile, and give you upwards of 100+ crit damage in the overworld depending on setup (if over 1000 strength) this is to reference back to the Tarantula Helmet and the ability giving 1 crit damage per 10 up to 1000, but as a set bonus not a helmet ability.
4. Young Dragon (Primal)
Now Young and Strong are tied for me in use because one hits hard and one goes fast, but since god potions exist, its very easy to get 400 speed no matter what and black cat steals the job from it, so lets add an extra layer on that.
Health: +70 to all pieces
Defense: +40 to all pieces
Speed: +2o to all pieces (2 combat slots per piece instead of 1)
Only main competitions for the speed is maxor, and the farmer boots.
Full Set Bonus: Primal Young
Increase the Speed given by Black Cat, and God Potions by +50 Speed!
Speed Caps at 800% Go Nuts. (GOTTA GO FAST!)
Gain +2 Strength and +2 Crit Damage for every 10 Speed you have (Max: 800)
This set was made to go FAST! and this ability definitely proves it, and you can get up to +160 Strength and Crit Damage on your profile if you manage to go that fast. (to make up for the armor lacking damage stats) will there ever be a use for 800% speed? probably not, but it is fun!
5. Unstable Dragon (Primal)
Oh boy, this set. Went from good to bad to AFK worthy, then to trash when they patched that away. So obviously i don't want people to AFK with this set like my boy Frozen Blaze did at a point but i do wanna go a unique direction with this set other than Crit Damage... >
New Stats! +15 Ferocity to all pieces +5% attack speed to all pieces
Crit Damage: +15% -> +35% to all pieces
Health: +60 to all pieces
Defense: + 80 to all pieces (2 Onyx Gem slots per piece instead of 1 Combat slot)
Remove the +25 Mana on the helmet (why is that even there in the first place)
Now this set is looking pretty nice as it compares to werewolf (another disappointment) but now comes the ability to shake things up!
Full Set Bonus: Primal Unstable
Gain +100 Ferocity for 30 seconds, and deal an extra 25% of your damage as true damage (fire tick) to an enemy during those 30 seconds! (Drop to 100% Speed for 15 seconds afterwards.)
(2m cooldown)
Now honestly the only true damage that exists in the game is from the Bal Pet, which does laughably little true damage, but this set will change that in a big wave! effectively increasing your DPS by a lot depending on how much defense the enemy has. (which isn't shown really anywhere but the wiki) but this will remove the need to last breath an enemy, but you slow to a crawl for 15s to recover your stamina.
6. Old Dragon (Primal)
Ah, the Boomer Dragon as people would call it. Has really high HP and Defense for what it is, and increases the enchants but that's about it. This along with Protector are long outclassed by tank sets and don't serve a use outside dungeons besides early game EHP. But soon, that will no longer be the case.
New Stat! +10 Health Regen to all pieces
Health: +100 to all pieces
Defense: +50 to all pieces (2 HP gem slots per piece instead of 1)
Looking like the HP sponge its supposed to be, now the ability will increase that even more!
Full Set Bonus: Primal Old
Gain an extra +10% HP in the Overworld and +25% HP in Dungeons. (Total HP Number) after all blessings too!
Short, Sweet and to the point. Give Old a bunch of HP without sacrificing the Defense like Mastiff and you got your HP sponge!
7. Holy Dragon (Primal) (Heart Fragments drop sometimes in Dungeons along with a rare Full Heart chance)
As much as i hate to admit it, Holy is not the worst dragon set in the game anymore because of the healing capabilities, but that won't stop me from saying that if you have a Mender Helmet, this set is easily outdone. So let's fix that shall we?
Health: +70 to all pieces
Defense: +50 to all pieces
Mending: +10 to all pieces (20 per piece now!) (2 HP gem slots per piece instead of 1 now)
a lot better, but lets keep the support up with the ability!
Full Set Bonus: Primal Holy
Increase the effectiveness of all Power Orbs and Flares by +50% and increase their radius by 10 blocks and double the time limit of the Power Orbs.
Self Bonus: Gain +300 Health Regen
Now this is what support is like, everyone uses Power Orbs and eventually Flares so why not give better stats to them and more with Holy!
8. Protector Dragon (Primal)
Now as much as i am Bias to this set myself as i have a 10 star version of it, this set fell off extremely hard as time went on, outclassed every which way it went and is horrible against true damage. But now that ends here, Protector will finally Protect themselves and their friends!
New Stat! +5 True Defense to all pieces
Health: +70 to all pieces
Defense: +100 to all pieces (2 Defense gems per piece instead of 1 now)
Yes, now this set has more Defense overall than Goldor! (1000 on protector vs 860 with goldor) while the HP is lagging behind, this ability will make sure even with that, its no problem for it!
Full Set Bonus: Primal Protector
Increase your Defense and True Defense by +2% for every % of missing HP you have.
Launch a Seismic Wave at your enemy that does more damage the more defense you have. (cooldown 10s) (Press Z)
This set is a Defense MACHINE, and now the True Defense can help back it up! along with a helpful Seismic Wave to smash enemies!
Well, there you have my overly long cope analysis (i mean) idea for a potential Primal Dragon update that involves all 8 dragons + the new 9th Primal Dragon! please leave your thoughts below, and tell me what you would do differently. Thanks for reading my dumb thoughts! -Saiune (Skyblock Level 369) (M7 Protector Dragon boi)
I keep forgetting to apply to skyblock nerds so hopefully next time i apply i can link this post to help along idk.
