The meaning of LOL DRG in case you dont know

[Mookie]

It mostly came from losing penta spam. Up until that point drg was still a major dd contender especially when you subbed /sam. Once the tp nerf came out, everyone jumped ship who wasn't a true drg at heart. But then again, I was kinda happy about that. There are a lot of people out there who just level a job cuz they think its uber. They're like your typical fad chasers. They level whatever 'in' job is. True dragoons play the job cuz they love dragons, that's all there is.

Drg/sam was a nightmare for tanks. The never ending supply of Penta thrust was out of control. They took that away and left Drgs being pretty sad.

Honestly though 2 handers kind of stunk in general though.

MNK/SAM was more of a nightmare since they got back more than 100% TP with Asuran Fists and relic knuckles, they could spam indefinitely and were probably the cause for the TP nerf. DRG/SAM was decent but to be honest, since this was back when people EXP'd off Incredible Tough- High Def/High evasion, before the age of sushi, without berserk, Penta did around 250-500 damage each. It was more viable for solo/low man stuff really than exp grinding or endgame at that.

Would be fun if our new merit 2hr ability was Save TP+60 so we could relive Multihit WS spam for 1 minute every 2 hours.

Why the Hell are you making a thread about this? No one wants to be reminded of when the community acted like gigantic assholes.

It was just a casualty of the 1st major nerf so everyone jumped off the bandwagon and drg didnt really have any eye popping way to stay in the spotlight. Back when war was just a sub job. Mnk sucked because it couldnt do distortion. Drg stunk because we faught IT+++++ mobs and had trouble 'turning' the mob opening light with lolWheeling thrust and the fact that we had less enmity via high jump for the thf or drk/thf to close SATAWS light.

Back then it was all about the SC. The mobs were so high level in parties that melee DoT didnt mean crap so it was all about SC+MB (usually involving lots of thf or /thf to plant hate on the Estaff Pld).

Then tou came and burn parties on squishy piercing pink exp bags and the 2hander super buff and drg jumped back in. Then we finally got onto 'heavy' armor in TAU (aurum/Ares/Askar), 20 min wyvern and drakesbane. We have basically been sitting pretty ever since with ever improving armor and buffs (more acc/atk traits, spirit/soul, reduced JA timers, stardiver, 6/5hit builds etc).

Drg has come up a lot in the world, but like most things on the interwebz, stigmas dont die very easily and are perpetuated by people that have no idea why it was there in the 1st place (and in this case have been entirely removed by now).

Oh the days of looking for party on drg which was just as horrible as lfp on drk. Went 2 full weeks with flag up near crawler's nest without invite, wanting to bash head into wall the whole time.

DRG's these days will never know the greatness of an Assault Jerkin.

That thing is pretty awesome right up until they released Perle. 18 attack and 3 acc is pretty fine for a melee body.
