| Re: this is silly but here I go... Although my Dragoon is in storage right now, it is still my favorite job. I am currently leveling other jobs for LS events and stuff, and I take Dragoon out for a 1-hour solo XP's whenever it looks like I am not going to have enough time to party.
We do have less options in gear selection and might have slightly worse WS compared to other 2-handed weapons, but I am ok with it so far. Things like Jaridah Peti have helped. Now what remains is just other player's perspective. Dragoon is a versatile job. For example, after lv 60 (with AF helmet), a DRG/WHM can be a superb DD/Backup healer in a party that's fighting mobs with little AOE attack and no one-shot attacks like sickle slash. (I have heard about one who did MAIN healing in Boyahda). But not many people would be willing to try out this kind of unconventional things.
SE have recently added some stuff, like the latest Hydra Set that mainly gives +Acc and +Eva, but those are of much higher level (72) compared to say Haubergeon (58). I am not sure about difficulty in getting the ingredients to make it, but currently it should be much rarer as only 1 NM dops it. |
