Dragoon or Dark Knight

[Kaylik]

who do you guys think is better cooler and more fun to play as: a Dragoon or a lowly Dark Knight. and who do you think would win in a battle, remember drk are slow and have low acc and def while dragoon are fast have great eva. str. def. and acc. and have a wyvern and can jump into the air and not be harmed.

[Darkedge]

Are you serious? Delete this topic man...it's the right thing to do.

[Buuyon]

dont talk...

drk use gsword end game...thats faster then most polearms...drk have more acc gear then drg...and more str...

to win a battle has been dicused...it comes down to who gets 100 tp first really...drk and drg are pretty balanced...no one seem to notice it though...

and more fun to play dependson the player...

[little ninja]

not to mention drks have some of the coolest gear in the game compared to the drg. they can go either go great sword or scythe. drgs only have the polearm. drks have more atk bonus then the drg.

DRK PAWN DRG... THE END!!

[Kaylik]

you gus are so wrong. a drk may have slightly stronger attack but waht good is it if you cant hit the target do tho either low acc. or the target hase great eva. i admit the drg af sucks big it actually pisses me off the drg af should be green with gold trim and the style should be diff. and it should have more abilities like those of freya in ff 9. but other than that drg rock

[Darkedge]

Um.. Look at the stats of the Thick Set for DRKs (68-69). Look how much Attack and Accuracy it offers. It's enough to make an EM DRG con normally if not low evasion and defense. DRG gets really rediculously shafted in the armor department. You don't know what you're talking about. DRK have bad accuracy? ^Thick Set, Abjurations. Saying DRK is slighty stronger is an understatement, and low ACC is just wrong.

You're level 36, maybe just maybe you out damage DRKs at your level, but low level DRG are awesome, and they can open Distortion. DRKs at your level might just, might actually be slower, and have horrible SC capabilities. End Game DRK would be way more powerful, accurate, and -er looking than DRG.

As for your view on DRGs, I do think they should be more powerful, and I do think they would be a lot more fun if they were like Freya. Unfortunately, SE made them SC openers that auto-attack with a pet...

First of all what do you know about DRK? Calling obviously a superior job lowly?

Secondly, the misconception of DRK's having low ACC is just as bad as saying DRG's are gimped. So STFU you don't know shit about DRK.

Thirdly I actually do find DRG to be more fun, but your going to be asking for alot of flame posting a topic on this.

He's a DRG/SAM pre level 60 anyway. His words are the same value to me as a level 10 ninja running around dunes /shouting "I GOTZ0Rs Teh DUAL WEILD!!!!!!1"

DRG and DRK each bring damage to the table, DRG does it with wyvern and polearm, DRK with muscle. Each requires finess and skill

[Khaeos]

LadyPeorth, I love you for saying that

where the hell are you pulling this "great eva" from? drg af is acttully used by drg...not many jobs get to use full af at all...so it hardly "sucks big time"...you wanna see "sucks big time" check out drk af...other then the helm it has no use on a drk...freya sucks in ff9...stiener(sp) out damages her...

First off Freya did not suck and stiener only got his power from vivi. while stiener does damge freya can do dmg, `cast regen on the party get hp an mp from lancet and the morer dragons you kill the stronger dragon crest gets. So ya freya is way more versitile than stiener and thats how a drg in ffxi should be but nooooo S.E. f**** that up but oh well.
later

i dont agree

i dont agree with kaylik but i dont agree with any of you either kaylik is kinda a dreamer but with sam sub they have offencive wyvrens and can gain tp easily and can do massive damage i think these two job classes are equal

[711rocks]

If you played the chocobo game a lot in FFIX, far enough to get a gold chocobo and the ragnarok sword, you'll know Stiener>>>>>>>>everyone else you can have. It had an ability called Shock which just did 9999 everytime for like 46 (or close to it) mp. Every time.

[LadyPeorth]

This isn't an FFIX "Who is the best character ever" thread (Beatrice). Please stay focused.

And no...DRG does not need Freya's abilities. That was FFIX...this is FFXI. If DRG had Freya's abilities...hell DRG would be in every party...a requirement next to a Tank and a Healer. Here's a rundown:

Lancer - Lowers enemy HP and MP.
Well...quite obvious here. Use it at start, shave off a % of the enemies life. It's like casting Curse.

Rei's Wind - Casts regen on your party.
If I have to explain this one...you really should not be playing FFXI

Dragon's Breath - Non-elemental damage to all enemies.
Non-elemental is already incredibly power in FFXI. Making it an active ability just makes it that much stronger.

White Draw - Restore MP of your party.
RDM? <No Thanks>

Luna - Casts Berserk on enemy.
Berserk would be really strong in FFXI. Most of the time, people don't fear the monster's attacks...but rather the weapon skill. While berserk, they can't use their weapon skill. Incredibly tough vs say HNMs and eliminating their ability to 2hr.

Six Dragons - Drain HP and MP from two targets and transfer it to two other targets.
Semi-targetable Drain and Aspir combined. Certainly make a paladin's life easier.

Cherry Blossum - Deals non-elemental damage to a target.
Went over non-elemental damage before.

Dragon Crest - Physical damage to an enemy.
Maybe this one would pass...

So as you see...save for Dragon Crest, the other abilities would make DRG a god/goddess in a PT, being the ultimate support.

lady

you critisize kaylik because he's not a lv 60 only because you just barley maneged to scrape past it when in reality kaylik, my dear friend, has only trined the jobs he's a: 75MNK, 75SAM, 36DRG and after he found drgoon he's not going to train any others he's mearly overly excited about his job


P.S. incase you didn't know a SAM sub lets DRG deal MASSIVE damaage
