Dragoons... how do you feel post 4.0?

Kind of annoying playing other jobs and see their secondary resource just sit there out of combat and not degrade.

Yeah I felt the same when I was playing NIN.

Don't quote me but is DRG the only class that ties both resources together? And it has a 70 second ramp up time? And it's one of the weakest dps next to the 2 ranged physical that are pretty much support dps while having positionals and having to be in melee range? (Yes I'm projecting, but I just realized that this was the case. DRG is an all or nothing class, similar to what MNK used to be when it only had greased lightning I even find myself pulling mobs in dungeons just so I can keep eyes.)

I'm speechless, I feel that I did a bad decision to cap Dragoon to 70 first.
I tho DRG at lvl 70 will be much way better, but I'm really disappointed now xD

What we got in 4.0 Extra from 3.5? Nothing much beside Mirage Dive.

Life of the Dragon? it's a useless ability, since we need 4 Mirage Dive and to get them we have to preform Jump 30s cd and Spineshatter Dive 60s cd.
Technically, 90s average to get Life of The Dragon Aura, plus it doesn't do anything new comparing to Blood of The Dragon in 3.5.
Just allow u to use Nastrond? Nastrond is Geirskogul from 3.5 just with 120 Extra Potency and you can just do 3 of it max while in Life of the Dragon.

What extra things Life of The Dragon do beside Nastrond? Nothing xD so we struggle for 90s or 70s as others says. Just to get 3 extra 320 potency? Why it can't give us Extra % damage? or something special beside Nastrond?

What is worse, there is no way to keep Life of the Dragon up... It's pain with no gain.

Also,

What is the use of Heavy Thrust? just the 15% Damage Buff? just remove the Skill and merge the buff with another rotation skill like SAM Jinpu Skill.

Jinpu is one of their main skills to use, and it already give them 10% damage each time they use it. Why we as DRG have to go out of our rotation for the 15% Extra damage? Just merge Heavy Thrust with Vorpal Thrust.
