Lumping DRG in with PUP and BST is so so so bad. I don't particularly care about how you and your friends perform. Anecdotal evidence really is the best evidence. Dragoon, however, currently holds the "Most powerful job in the game if given X, Y, Z gear" title. The biggie is Ryunohige, but it's no slouch without it. Kenkonken destroys Verethragna, too - the hell are you smoking?

Dragoon is a top-end DD who flops miserably in proc-land because they don't have crap for weapon access outside of lances.

PUP is a B-tier DD and pets will never, ever be competitive themselves until they're able to receive Haste/Song/Samba effects and all Corsair rolls. I wanted to inb4 "Pups are people too", but I guess you beat me too it. As I said earlier, the Wyvern being alive isn't important because of its own damage, it's important because it buffs Spirit/Soul jumps. That's the only important "Pet" portion of Dragoon.

Most importantly, I was looking more at Leon excluding Drg if procs were not an issue. I could care less what you think on the matter, considering all you're likely to do is huff around about how great pet jobs can be in the right hands and other such inane tripe. I don't like bad Wars any more than I like bad Pups. A good War is simply a hell of a lot better than a good Pup, and a good Drg is not very far behind a good War - a truly great Drg is miles ahead of the rest of the pack.
