Yeah, it's not difficult, but it's entirely complicated for absolutely no reason, and doesn't fit the job.

And here's the point - that's what monks are s'posed to do, that's their playstyle: they weave back and forth for greater damage. Dragoons don't do that, they pick a position, bear down, and unload a skillchain on that position, moving linearly with jumps, grounded by landing positions.

It just doesn't fit their playstyle to be forced to move like a monk. Just because one class does it, doesn't mean another should; people play different classes for a multitude of reasons, chief among them being their playstyle.
