7.4k HP dragoon achieved!

Awesome. I think if Dragoon became some type of tank class that would be great. Templar? The Allagan Armor for DRG does look pretty tankish.

If i had to spitball, I would toss my hat into SAM as as the possible tank offshoot of the lancer class, since from a FF gamer standpoint, SAM also used polearms after all.

Awesome achievement ... 7.4k HP and low DPS (due to the massive stat loss that comes with such a build). Can't even tank with that build as you won't be able to hold aggro against other DDs. So what's the point other than showing off?

It's probably for the fun of it yes.
But knowing that it won't allow you to tank due to the damage output lost as Vodomir said, wouldn't it be better to wear any armor allowing you to meld it with Vit materias? You should get more HP that way.

You can't meld VIT materia to a HQ Armor, and if you are to use a non-HQ, the materia meld cap will be just the same as the HQ ones.

In fact, there's that skills from warrior you can use that generate enmity. (i waw using it at the start of the game, to hold hate on adds from hydra, it was pretty potent).

Yes skull sunder once out twice combined with a cool down and/or jumps will grab threat pretty easily. Also don't forget that allagan is lnc and drg, and accessories are all jobs, so you can go lnc for more cross class skills, like flash, stone skin, ect

That still won't cut it. Skull Sunder is Single Target only and face the fact that even WAR will find themselves in a rough spot to hold aggro against semi-competent DPS when using Skull Sunder alone. Mind you that DRGs don't have defiance, and can't combo this move - there's no way to hold aggro with the rest of your DDs going all out. Switching to lancer doesn't really help either (you'll only gimp yourself on the STR department even more and lose out on valuable Off-GCD DPS-Skills; less DPS -> less aggro), as DRG don't have access to Shield Oath and are also rather weak with their MP pools and even a PLD can't hold aggro on all of his targets by using flash alone - so how is a DRG supposed to do it?

And while you say using skull sunder every once in a while grabs aggro quite easily, this is only true because you did this with your regular DPS build, so using a full DPS rotation with the odd emnity move inbetween will of course "grab threat pretty easily". But what we are looking at is a 7.4k HP build, that will lack a massive amount of DPS stats, Skull Sunder won't make up for it.

OP never said he was actively going into places and fighting. He was just showing of his HP.
