When you think of a Dragoon in a party... a few things may come to mind:
~ "What!? Was there no other job available???"
~ "I guess its better than nothing..."
~ or the occassional "Hell yeah!"
Now for the past few weeks of discussing with DRGs across my server aswell as on a few other servers, I find that there are no actuall complaints about the job itself - just the player. Many people on these forums including myself have always said that the job doesnt define the player, its the player that defines the job. After looking around, it seems that 90% of all comments about DRGs have been based off of 1 player . . . just one. The people who say Dragoon is a great job are people who have had a good experience with a player who is DRG. Now the reason why I bring this up is because it leads into my next part. . .
It has been proven that 9/10 of all players do not know how to REALLY play their job until they are between the levels of 60-70. When you see a Black Mage just casting normal nukes and magic bursts, that is just one part of the job. But when you see a Black Mage lash out with every spell and every ability you will be amazed at what they can do. The same goes with all jobs, including Dragoon. When a player knows how the play Dragoon... they can dish out as much damage if not more than some melee. With the right technique, a DRG can not only deal massive amounts of damage, but can even draw hate away from the tank because of power they can dish out.
Prime example would be my party last night with my DRG/WAR. I got there and a few people started bitching about me being a DRG and then later said "Wow" - yes, I actually made one guy say the word "Wow" lol. I was dishin out about 90-110 on normal attacks and about 400+ with Double Thrust. I was using Jump and High Jump at every oppertunity and was dealing around 100+ each with them. The SAM in my party was the only one who could really keep up and that was because of his /THF sub and his Meditate. Now granted im only a 43 DRG... but It was alot of fun being able to squash some rumors about DRGs. One guy even said "Wow, I guess the update really made DRGs better." . . . . My response was simple "They didnt change how I play the job. They didnt change my stats. They didnt change that much at all." And the best part was after I said that, the WHM who was rippin on me for being a DRG and was bashing the job told me "Wow, you are a really good Dragoon then."
So it is possible for Dragoons to deal out damage and compete with the best of them out there - its just a matter of unleashing your fury!
So lets hear some of your stories about a triumph for DRGs!
