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.
