Dragoons - I don't see too many of them in the high end content

[Versiroth]

It pissed me off when my first 50 was a Dragoon and some people didn't want me for groups. Then I became a healer and realized why. Melee players tend to have issues moving out of AOEs in time. If you're melee and awesome at it, good for you, but in my experience, I've had to worry about throwing extra heals at the DRG or MNK way more than any of the range DPS.
