A dragoons place in a party?

[El Cura]

I was planning on becoming a drg/sam or drg/thf and i was wondering what does a dragoon do? What is hes / hers role in a party and are they useful?

From the information i have picked up from other posts, its basicly to do damage. but im not sure, im still waiting for the PS2 version to come out. lol. but thats what i have found out, that they are damage dealers.

You are correct, they are made for dealing damage. A polearm for nice damage and high/super jump if you collect to much hate. DRGs were made to be right up there at the frontlines with the SAM and DRK kicking arse.

SlayerX78, is right. A Dragoon is basically there to penta thrust, when they get it. If they are a /war to attack with double attack and use beserk wisely. And if they are a /sam to use weapon skills to do a ton of a damage, but watch the hate. Even though a jump can remove some hate, the monster might turn against a mage. But if you have a good tank then you can penta + jump effectively.

Also, you have something no other melee has. An allie. Your wyvern. Wyvern assists you, so treat him well and make sure he doesn't die, cause you will have 2 hours to re-cast. So cast him in the city, so you have him in 2 hours incase he dies.

Pentra Thrust isnt the end all be all. You are there to deal damage. There are better WS then Pentra thrust suck as skewer.

Pretty much deal as much damage as you can without getting the monster on you.

Im pretty sure you cant cast Call Wyvern in the city since they arent allowed inside :sweat:
