Question: What is Dragoon best at ?

[Atreides]

Monks got mantra and dragon kick. What.. do drgs have as support skills? Disembowel isn't a support skill, it's a straight dps buff for another class.

It's also a DPS bonus for the DRG, if a DRG can buff another class and has the same kind of DPS as a MNK who in their right mind would take a MNK then?
About Mantra... I do use it sometimes just because I have it but there isn't a single situation in the game where I think Manta is really a big help, so I don't see whats the deal with Mantra. o_o
The whole content can be cleared just as easy without it since the heals are really huge in this game.

Nothing is mandatory in game. Mantra helps for when you just got a bit hit and needs to recover quickly. Or someone will die very soon and a Cure II won't be enough, for instance. Think people who get hit by windburn in Garu, or just raised before an AOE, etc.
You don't need it, but it can make the difference between a wipe and some more minutes of practice on a fight
