Dragoon's attack power was probably set lower than jobs like WAR/MNK/DRK/SAM since DRGs have a pet that on paper, is supposed to make up for that low attack power. For example, on a Decent Challenege mob, I can hit for 280-340 per hit and my Wyvern hits for 80-110, it's like a little flying Enspell kind of. I can Stardiver for 2.5-3k and my Wyvern will do a 380 damage breath after and a DRK can do a 3.3kish Resolution so in the end, we're not too far apart. But when you make the target an NM and up the level,so it's 115-120ish, the Resolution will still do 2-3.5k depending on buffs but Stardiver is still only doing 1.5-2k, and the Wyvern will be hitting for 40-60 and Breaths don't do 380 like before, but now do 20-30, reduced by 90%.
