The development team is currently working on making adjustments to enhance dragoon and they are taking all of your feedback into consideration. Once the implementation timing and other such details have been decided I will make a follow-up.

Already been done in a different thread, so I doubt he'll post in here. The Devs already have something underway.
Not saying multiple threads on this are bad - just showing you this in case you weren't aware.

I've been trying to figure out why Ishgard hasn't won the war against the dragon horde. From the context of what npc's and main scenario suggest, i would say they are slowly bleeding to death!

Thanks WinterSolstice :p Well, unlike the other thread here : (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ong.-Fix-it-SE), I wanted to only show the obvious part of dragoon's problems without any kind of debate between ninja / monk / dragoon lovers :) that's the reason why this thread is only about dragoon's poor magic defense.

Fishing up a peiste map in Mor Dhona, someone rides by on chocobo and aggros an ogre, fireball on me and I'm stuck for 5 seconds putting the rod away, aaaaaaaaaaaand dead.

"Dead" wouldn't be an accurate descriptor. You have a token amount of VIT.

You would be surprised how many DRGs I've seen do just that and pop BFB right before high-damage encounters.

Predictably, they're the ones who end up dead on the ground.
