Do you know what weaves really nicely? Dragoon.

We don't talk about this enough. oGCD Jumps layer on top of your rotation like spreading soft butter on perfectly browned toast.

It would be amazing if we could give this same level of smoothness to other DPS rotations. In particular, healer DPS rotations.

But I am only Level 50. Will I hate Dragoon later on?

drg changes a lot later on your best bet is levling to 61 and trying it on HOH , isnt the "final form" tho but u will get an idea

Naw, they weave really well because they're always swinging around a giant needle.

They still weave well at higher levels. You just get more of them. :)

I got an interesting picture of REdolent Rose doing Dragoon moves with a giant needle.. I can't stop giggling.

My only complaint is that Jump has this weird necessity to put you *back* in your original position after executing it, which lengthens the animation lock to take both weave slots. It also locks Jump out of being able to be used as a gap closer.

None of the other jump actions do this, and I can't fathom a situation a melee would want to return to their original position after casting what is essentially a damaging gap closer. Get in and out of an aoe, maybe? This game's netcode doesn't support that kind of play either way.

But that's just me whining, the job is very fun at most 50+ levels :)

It actually doesn't increase the animation lock time at all. The Dragoon will still do the same animation and the move back into position is part of that animation, same animation, same GCD lock.

As for Double weaving, yes, Jump has a long animation which prevents double weaving, however, once you get High Jump, you can, just about. This assumes you haven't made your DRG very fast (My GCD is 2.44 for reference).

However, returning to their original position after using it is silly They could have at the very least made it so that High Jump could change your position.

The only time I like jump returning me is in FL PvP. xD

Said Toast also happens to land on the buttered side quite often when it falls down.

Of the DPS from ARR, Dragoon is right up there with Black Mage in terms of how well it's been developed. It's pretty much always felt good to play at the end game, it's leveling experience is mostly pretty smooth, and the only one spot that seems a little odd is that the AOE combo doesn't refresh Disembowel.
