    People keep saying this but isn't monk essentially very similar rotation wise? Do correct me if I'm wrong here but looks to me, while they have a different combo system but the rotation still boils down to something similar, except shorter (alternating back and side 1st and 2nd hit, inserting demo every 2 snaps vs alternating heavy and phleb after every 3 hit combo and inserting chaos combo for every 2 full combo). Mnks also have less ogcds to use and have them on longer cool downs for their job specific ogcds. Monks also make a huge deal out of getting in hits out of forced encounter pause (rightfully so) but wouldn't any dps want to get in any hits they can too?

    I'm not saying that you're saying something as extreme as saying that dragoon is the easiest class to play but others do and I fail to see where they're coming from.

    Which post of mine are you exactly replying to? Cause I'm pretty sure I'm not the one not getting dragoon's mechanic/utility/dps cap 'issues'.

Dragoons would be unable to continue their combo or not gain an additional bonus if they miss theirs; They can't disembowel and they don't get heavy thrust's damage buff.

    The problem is further compounded on certain encounters where bosses get a bit trigger happy with turning around to throw fireballs or lasers. Now more so now that DRG has even more competition, and this time against another dps who doesn't have any positional restrictions and provide the same (debatable with piercing resistance vs 10% damage), if not more (Goat.) than DRG.

    And because of this DRG have only on the start combo skill a position requirement and not on every skill of the combo
    Missed the position? Use the start skill a second time before doing the next skill in the combo
