What will be the new "loldrg"?

[Greven]

White Mages using a knockback attack just as you're about to land a killing blow on a target and suddenly target out of range? That is a White Mage thing right...?

It's a Wipe Mage, Garuda-egi and derpnist thing. Picture having all three of them in a party X°D

[Pluvia]

There will be no other lol job.
Dragoon already had that stigma in FFXI it only carried over and any reason would have earn him the title of loldrg back.

^this it all started in XI it should of stayed in XI and no good players give 2 shits about the Loldrg stigma

Alright, what do I call a warrior who pulls an entire dungeon's worth of Nix while we're all being knocked around by Nix jump attacks and while he's being constantly knocked back and tongued forward?

Oh, and what do I call myself in paladin form when I prematurely pull the Behemoth fate before the army shows up and die in 5 seconds? I'm better off running as loldragoon, at least then I only have to worry about accidentally hitting elusive jump instead of heavy thrust on Titan and winding up jumping past the edge of the platform. I can always blame that on our bard anyway. Speaking of bards, we just call our bard Caboose, though it's really not job specific.

1. A Worrier, a Moreior, a Peace-ior, some guy who got "the axe" at his job, Or a lolwar.

2. Poorladin. Failadin, nai-to(dunno if that works in jp...), a Paddlin', a off'd tank, a shame tank, Or a lolpld(lolpald)

It's still loldrg. They just changed jobs to derpknight.
Here's my evidence.


(Yes I always screenshot that stuff and wait for the appropriate time to post it)

kek. makes me cringe a little.

but loldrg is still alive and well. so is derpnight, and lolnin, and now lolwar as well.

[Sicno]

I'm pretty sure that lots of loldrg moved on to become lolnin since last year and now loldrk

I hate to say it... But when leveling AST not only have I seen this multiple times beyond just Haukke Manor, but even worse with caster gear instead of tanking gear. I throw in my hat for derpknight, haha!

I dunno, I think it still heavily applies here in XIV. The job itself isn't bad but it does seem to attract a certain type of player.

As in XI, the stigma was originally due to game balance; here in XIV dragoons got animation locked into jumps and couldn't dodge stuff which meant they were always dead. There's a reason SE played along with the loldrg meme in that 8-bit titan extreme video they released.

The situation was largely improved with recent patches easing the animation lock but Heavensward revealed another facet of the loldrg that we hadn't seen as clearly before: the bad players. In 2.0 DRG was the easiest melee dps in the game and easy jobs tend to attract bad players. I'm not saying all DRG players are bad, far from it, but a LOT of the bad players were gravitating to DRG. Heavensward has now suddenly given DRGs positionals on par with, if not harder to execute than, the other melee jobs... suddenly those bad players can't keep up. I've seen more bad DRGs since 3.0 than I ever saw in 2.0 and in almost every case it's because they're struggling with the new skills.

This. The amount of times I've been paired with another DRG for my roulettes and literally do twice their DPS is staggering. That said, I'm not sure I agree with DRG being the easiest melee job in 2.x since our rotation, albeit priority-wise fairly simple, was 60 seconds long. Things are better now even if we have more to keep track of.

I like off'd tank.
