I really don't understand all this shite with DRGs, I've always run with one(BFs main class) and he does his best to always make sure he is out of AOEs and jumping at safe times. If he does get hit he is not killed however, he gets hit for less than the NIN going all out on the boss and not running out of AOE.

Where are the lolnins? NINs are dying more than DRGs ever have.
