Why are you a Dragoon?

[Cruxus]

Initially playing XI and reading the Brady Games strat guide (yes i was one of the ppl who bought it...lol) DRG caught my attention more over than any of the other jobs. DRG always amused me while I played the job while others I felt kind of unattached while EXP'ing. It was my first 75 job, and I never look back and regret leveling it or keeping it up to date with the best armor I can reasonably obtain.

I was one of the Vain ones when i decided to play DRG, I was going through the DAT files one halloween and i came across some cool looking purple armour, and found out it was the Drachen Set, seeing it was DRG i thought "Ok...I WANT that Armour" next was DRK but thats slowly moving up in levels.

As i was playing DRG, I found myself loving the job More and more, and Penta-thrust was the Deal breaker, even though we had a crappy 2hr at the time (Pre-Surge DRG here) i loved it, After i got lvl 60 and all my AF i renamed my Wyvern From "Firewing" to "Soryu" as somewhat of a celebatory promotion thing.

What kept me going was an old LS friend of mine back in Quetzy, and now, I'm a lvl 90DRG, i hear he's back in the game, but i don't have enough time to re-level my DRG on the same server (heres to hoping theres a Quetzy <-> Fairy/Sylph Merge

I was like Cruxus and even before I played, I studied up on all the jobs, and even when Call Wyvern was our 2hr, I loved the idea of fighting with the spear and a little buddy to assist, plus the AF looks awesome.
As I grew up in the game, DRG continued to work its way deeper into my heart

Because Altana wanted me to. I was farming moss and cuttings in ZiTah when I got a brown casket containing a rossignol. That was a sign from Altana that I should level DRG.

I guess i play dragoon when i want a risk thrill. All my other jobs (mnk thf Rdm) and my main job (bst) have vast defensive capabilities. Add in being a galka and sometimes it can get boring and feel like "this NM could not kill me if i went afk"

Dragoon has stuff to keep itself alive but it just cant take dmg. Makes things faster paced. feels like i could die. It doesnt matter if its a tiny little bunny when im on dragoon i get hit so hard. My Hp just dissapears. A properly timed super jump or healing breath becomes so much more rewarding when you know if u hadnt done it right you would be dead.

To sum up i like drg because it can do massive amounts of damage constantly and then cant handle the damage when it gets the monsters attention so i have to pay attention and be tricky to live wich keeps it interesting.

P.S. I also enjoy using super jump to kill mages who have bad attitudes. (noooow you have the hate teeehhheee!)

Jump. Also polearms are my favorite weapon type.

Way back in the day when I was a wee nooblet in the dunes, I was approached by some level 60 or so character who blindly initiated a trade with me. He gave me a Holy Lance and told me that he was quitting the game, and wanted to do something nice for someone. I decided to level DRG just to make use of the lance, and ended up falling in love with the job in the process.

I gave that same lance (the SAME lance, didn't sell and repurchase) to a friend of mine who had just finished the DRG quest much later on.

An interesting question. Mostly, because it's what I decided to start with. I had a few ideas at first, and even had my mind set on Paladin, but I then decided to start off with a damage dealer job, and somehow got into Dragoon. I have to say I may have had an easier time with another damage dealer job, but I stuck by my choice and I don't regret it. Dragoon is still my favorite. Plus the new Jump attacks are pretty nice for spike damage.

I have always loved pet jobs. Well that is when I knew there were other jobs out there besides WAR,MNK,THF,WHM,BLM and RDM. I started out lvling BLM and i was like lvl 4 and a SMN came out and started skilling his magic skill and I fell in love. i stopper lvling BLM and lvled WHM for SMN sub. SMN was my first 75 and is my main. After that I took RDM,THF and COR to 75 and then I wanted to try a heavy DD. I already had DRK at 37 for RDM sub but I had ALWAYS wanted to try DRG seeing as I like pet jobs so much. I fell in love with it. Admittedly not as much as SMN but close. I love that even as a taru I have to bust my arse to not take hate off the PLD or NIN. something I never had to worry about as DRK. I stopped playing so I could go to college but now I'm back and can't wait to finnish my DRG(at 46 atm but it will prolly be my frist 90.).
