dragoons rock man!!!!!!!!!

"Why People say Dragoon suck???"

Because they're idiots. No job sucks.

[Khain]

There is no sucky job in FFXI and if there was it shouldnt matter bc you like it. DRG is my favorite class of all time. I love drg and nobody can change my opinion. Even if square enix itself syas drg sucks i will still play it

[iga_ghost]

HaHa nothing makes me happier then when ppl say a job i am interested in sucks, no I am serious. Back when i started a rdm in import they where not liked, and I loved every minute of it. Then they were given enchant spells and regen and the whole thing changed. As soon as i knew ninja was in expansion I have been anticipating playing one in NA release and was very happy to find out that ppl were having difficulty with them.

People seem to have an obsession with being "uber" and i have never really cared. Problem with uber is taht you just make a cookie cutter and everyone follows along, so congrats you are the best, jsut like everyone else who crunched statistics and read strategies.

Nowadays i hear ninja is getting better, or at least ppl are complaining less, so maybe the mantle passes o dragoon. Hell that just means there are a few less dragoons in the world, but if you have a good head on your shoulders you are always welcome in a party of mine. See ya on the fields of Vanadiel, I'll be the one on the battlefield smiling ^^

Would a Dragoon Lancer/Black Mage be a good combo? Thanks!

I like the fact people say the Dragoon sucks. I have loved them since i played as Kain, and i have always liked them since. And i would rather have a lot less people being Dragoons, instead of everyone being them :p

DRAGOONS RULE

[LillithNura]

yeah I have like Dragoons since Kain as well and I love the ju,p thing it rocks heh, and I am thinking of trying many diffrent combos with Dragoon to see what I cancome up with

Dragoons dont suck. There is a lot of them but not horribly. I just dun like it when people say they are not needed in a PT. Then hell, what is? PLD and 2 mages...what else? Its the same as my DRK some people wont let me into there PTs because they think im useless becuase i cant tank. Thats not the point, thats not what these 2 jobs are about, they are there to deal dmg not tank. You can have defense but with no offense you will go no where. Dont get your hopes up though thinking that DRGs will be a minority there are lots. Ive actually seen less DRKs and more SAMs, NINs and DRGs lately

[Nanila]

I used to hear that DRK's were everywhere compared to the other classes, maybe the changes you're seeing is because people want to try something that's not so popular? Or just trying a new class

[caelestis]

DRG was a nice class to PT with-- honestly I'd trade WARS for DRG in my PT (if only because 1 tank is all that was really needed anyhow XD). Damage dealer = always good. And having the dragon's breath attack (whatever that was.. dunno HOW many times I've had to wipe sand off my armour.. Keth.) does help out in adding to dmg taken by the target.

Dunno how good /PLD would work.. I've seen WARs sub PLD, but that gives you *maybe* 2-4 extra defense... and in comparison to the 240-250 def I got at 42.. meh. I saw a WHM sub PLD once and jus wanted to die right there.. losing a ton of MP from a SMN or BLM subjob jus for a *few* measily defense points that shoudn't even be bothered with for a support class? (Kinda offends me because I felt like the guy didn't trust that I knew how to do my job).

People I've heard say DRGs blow simply for their low def... and I jus sat there with the look of duh.. DRKs have low defense too.. it's not DRG or DRK's job to tank.. that's why there are PLDs and WARs ^^ DRG and DRK are uber damage dealers, and are definitely needed in PTs *nods*

Retail time I want to try DRG for kicks.. Woogark was an uber DRG (and Kethcr in CN after Woo left us T_T btw if he ever posts here: QUACK). Karav-Marav was my favourit dragon too (Lumiere was cool Keth.. but again I had SAND in places I didn't realize it could get to because you aimed it RIGHT at me everytime XD)

You would trade a High lv WAR for a DRG 0.o if the war was using his 2hnd axe he could shield break and power break and taunt and attack. WARs WS are godly with a 2hnd axe. When ever i get invite to a PT they always make sure i have a 2hnd axe with me for shield break. Its better to have a WAR IMO....

[Storml2age]

And while the enemy has all its hate focused on you the DRG gets some penta thrusts and some super jumps in In partys you shouldn't "trade" one job for another, you use them all together. Its not like you say, well we already have a DRG so theres no reason to have a WAR, you just have them both in the group. The WAR can take more hits than a DRG so you get the enemy to focus on him while the DRG is beating the crap outta the enemy. Jobs compliment each other, they don't take each others places.

[caelestis]

Yeah... but if you experienced some of the things I went through with a WAR in my pt you'd understand why.. *ie taunting something off me when I was still in good health, then getting the crap beaten out of them and me having to waste a lot of things to get it back ON me.. etc* I still like the DRGs a lot in comparison ^^

[lufio]

No job in FFXI sucks, they all have a Str and wnknss in a PT. I never got the Dragoon Job but i was in PT's with them and i they were just like any other job, their dragon helps too ;d

Sounds like you just need to party with warriors that don't suck^^
