All DRG Party?

[Balodoth]

So I've recently heard of a DragoonBurn party. I get the sarcasm about ManaBurn parties, no problem. But I've seen just enough references to think this is serious. I've never heard of this before.

Can somebody fill me in?

You kill the monster before it really has the time to do any serious damage to whoever is tanking.

Re: All DRG Party?

i guess that would work considering dragoons are good at relieving hate

Re: All DRG Party?

You could maybe pull something like this off in Shrine of Ru'Avitau. Weapons are weak to piercing damage, although their AoE damage is pretty annoying. Still seems kinda flaky to me, though, DRGs have paper thin armor. I know 6 people + 6 wyverns beating on things does a lot of damage fast.. but that fast? Seems like you'd run out of MP sooner or later.

I'd be much more likely to believe a setup like this would work:

NIN/WAR
DRG/WAR
DRG/THF
DRG/WHM
DRG/BRD
BRD/WHM

The DragoonBurn PT is for real.

There is a video floating around of 6 drg/whm taking on dhamels in bibiki bay.
They are atleast 71-72 and they chain 5 without a problem. Whenever someone takes a beating, they use healing breath III by casting dia. They take turns resting when they are low on mp. If one of them cant shake hate, they super jump. It's actually pretty interesting to see.

If I recall, I think I found the video on a KI thread.

Re: All DRG Party?

I was expecting something like this:
DRG/WAR
DRG/WHM
DRG/WHM
DRG/WHM
DRG/BRD
And either a DRG/WHM, RDM, or a WHM (Possibly a RDM/BRD or BRD/WHM to get another DRG/WHM instead of /BRD)

I doubt this would work with anything but a static, but imagine 3 simultaneous Cures and Heal Breaths--hate spread among 6 sources. As the fight ends, the /BRD sings Paeon, Madrigal, or whatever the /WAR can use most in the situation. The /WAR makes the next pull while the /BRD sings Ballad for /WHM's. /WAR and /BRD start out fight with WS's, /WHM end fight with WS's so they don't waste TP while healing.

But that would require a very brave, very trusting DRG/WAR. And it couldn't possibly work below 60. . . Hmmm, I don't quite see it working. I think it's better than any other melee-only party (unless you count RNG, and I'm not sure how popular those are anymore), but not quite up to par with a good balanced party.

Re: All DRG Party?

Boy I have to find that video, I would love to see this in action.

Re: All DRG Party?

Same here. I am searching for it now. If you find it please post a link, as will I if I find it.

Re: All DRG Party?

ok KI stands for "Killing Ifirit" it's another forum like this one (although slow as hell as I try this.

google thinks this is the right post... I'm trying to get to page one but the page won't load >.<

I googled dragoonburn

Re: All DRG Party?

It definately won't load for me either... =( I'll keep searching.

Re: All DRG Party?

I think they refer to them as Jump Burn parties on KI, and again it's funny to see the doubt rising from people who aren't Dragoons. Dragoons can solo as easily if not more easily than Beast Masters. Would a party of six Bst fail? No, so why would a party of six Drg?

Re: All DRG Party?

I have no clue. I am not a dragoon "yet". Am still a n00b primary warrior level 14 or 15... =(

[Ashriel]

Re: All DRG Party?

Yeah Impaction I think you're too trigger happy to roast anyone who may think ill of a dragoon. You're shooting the wrong two people, I WANT to be a dragoon. I want it bad. I just need to level (hard to do with the game down atm)

I just want to watch a movie that has 6 dragoons pwning something... Nothing wrong in that is it?

BSTs can Call new pets every 5 minutes, and can Charm new pets every few seconds. DRGs can do this every 2 hours. BST use their pets as tanks. DRGs don't use their wyverns as tanks.

Show me a DRG who can solo multiple Even Match/Tough enemies beyond level 25 the way a beastmaster can and I'll concede your point.

My issue with a 6 DRG party is how everyone stays alive; there is no tank. With 6 BST, you have 6 tanks and 12 damage dealers. With 6 DRGs you have 12 punching bags. This isn't to say I doubt in any way the offensive output of DRGs; I don't. What I question is the notion that huge amounts of offense makes up for the 2x+ damage per hit that a dragoon will take vs. a traditional tank.
