Got DRG? Yes!Follow

I FINALLY got Dragoon! I'm currently level 9 Dragoon...yay...:D

lol

Thought DRK was the most time consuming? Who wants to sit around wacking low level mobs to death 100 times? The most annoying job quest I found to me was the SAM due to running all over the place.

:/

Uh, are you trying to start something, or what?
Thanks for the useful and informative contribution...><

:facepalms:

There are good players and bad players in every job...red mages are easy to notice because there's so much we should be doing, but there are plenty of good and bad players in all the jobs. Please back down off the Communist mages, we don't all suck ; ;.

If you find yourself with a truly poor RDM, please kick him, and let him know why you're kicking him so that he'll reform his ways and prevent RDM-bashing on all the rest of us at the higher levels.

DRG is a fun job, the one and only reason everyone bandwagons them was because of the TP change ages and ages ago. Dragoons don't suck. Honestly. They were rebalanced, not nerfed.

Congratulations, now go level your sub!

...sigh... where do i begin? Well for 1, congrats on Drg!

i guess for 2, to be honest i'll take a rdm/whm over a whm (41+) any day, and i haven't played with a truely bad rdm for months. For those rdm's that melee, if they sub ninja you should have realised why they subbed ninja before you invited them. They obviously want to melee, although i have to agree that melee with a /whm or /blm really shouldnt with those subs.

Finally with 3... Dragoons arent really that bad of a dmg dealer. They get tp pretty fast with the jump attacks, and their damage isnt too bad either. People often forget that their wyvern deals about = to a 1 handed sword attack every 3 seconds or so too, as well as a bonus on every weaponskill (healing or dmg).

I guess it boils down to is whether or not the player knows how to play his job. I mean... Personally I would invite a rank 10 Drg over any other rank 5 melee jobs, just thinking he would probably play drg to its fullest.

My main concern is people think there is a specific way to play every certain job.

RDM/NIN's are fun to party with, especially if they throw a high level cure and pull hate and have to blink tank LOL.

As a DRK, a lot of drk's peterb me because they think they are the end all be all of dmg dealers, and don't cast absorb or stun or waste their mp on Black Magic spells outside of bursting (which it's so fun to MB off your own sc.)

Also, as a DRK I deal with a lot of DRG's bashing me before I even get to say Hello in a party. I get over it, and have fun with them. Usually doing Vorpal Scythe > Penta Thrust or some other SC.

My biggest problem is that people seem, especially a lot lately, that people should have fun playing this game. If someone wants to Play DRG, let them! I mean, I guess it's not to much to ask for them to focus on ACC + DMG gear, but they don't have to have the absolute best.

As long as they contribute to the party, and do a decent job doing their Profession, and doesn't do anything completely stupid, who cares? I was a 32 THF playing with a PLD that would not let our DRK/WAR first voke. I made it work. I had the same problem with a NIN at 33, and I would sata onto our secondary tank for her to cast Uts.

RDM/NIN's not only work due to Melee but the extra De-Buff's NIN have, and remember RDM's are Enhancement/Enfeeb, and those De-Buff's work great.

Also I get tired of people barking on drg because they don't enjoy it, or they don't do as much dmg as a RNG... well, next time your party needs a 6th, and only a drg is waiting... I hope you disband due to not being able to find that LEET 6th person.

Only thing I really hate about DRK is their AF is purple ><

\\Kgo-

As I've said before, I have no problem with DRG. There are a lot of DRG I consider friends on this server.

Would I party with them? Hell no. RNG and DRG don't renkei well together. We're either both openeners (Heavy Shot/Arching Arrow/Sidewinder/Slug Shot or Wheeling Thrust/Penta Thrust) Or very crappy closers. There's no really good renkei RNG and DRG can do together, just like RNG and MNK. The only reason I came into this thread in the first place was to put the person from Bahamut in his place. :)

Half-leveled Ninjutsu magic serves absolutely no purpose outside of:
a) Farming mobs half your level
b) Self buffs: Tonko, Utsusemi

/NIN using Ninjutsu debuffs/nukes in an XP setting would be like Item menu > mezu-deppo > Drop > Do you really want to throw away 99 mezu-deppo? > Yes > You throw away 99 mezu-deppo.

Not sure if you're trying to say Ichi debuffs on a sub are worthless, but...at the level NIN get them, Ichi and Ni debuffs are entirely better than RDM enfeebles. Sure you have to recast them more often, but that allows a NIN to keep hate better.

As for sub-NIN debuffs; leave them at home and sub BLM or something if you're a RDM. NIN SJ adds nothing to a party.

lol >.>;;;

Renkei charts are your friends.

Heavy Shot > Dragon Kick = Light

As for DRG's, I can't remember but it is either: Penta Thrust > Slug Shot = Fragmentation or: Wheeling Thrust > Slug Shot = Fragmentation. Fragmentation opens light for spinning slash (also mistral axe, heavy shot, etc but they are some what weak). 3 person level 3 light SC's are MUCH more powerful then a two person level 3 SC. On my WAR against dhalmels I was doing penta/wheeling (sorry forget ; ;) > slug > mistral axe. My mistral axe would do 500-700, while the following light SC would do 900-1000+. With a DRK closing light off a fragmentation, they can easily put up 1500+ light.

Thanks everyone! Dragoon is fun so far, and Aeka...My sub is level 30...lol...so, I'm fine right now. Lol...
