The Unofficial "Why is this still a thing" Thread

As I already explained to you, Dragoon does not have more utility than a Ninja. With dual ranged yes, because optimal synergy. But if there are no ranged in the party, a Ninja blows Dragoon away in total DPS. Besides that, Dragoon's pDPS is middling at best. Only just above Ninja at nearly every percentile.

Don't underestimate Litany and Dragonsight. They're both very powerful in their own right, and aggro manip is only so useful.

Have you been doing these comparisons on hirokuapp btw? Fflogs doesn't say rDPS.

No, I was comparing pDPS, as you keep claiming Dragoon has "huge pDPS" as well as rDPS. Dragon Sight and Litany are quite good. But Sight is a 5% buff to ONE person every 120s. Trick Attack is a 10% buff to the entire party every 60s. Then, as I mentioned, Ninja also has the slashing debuff which is guaranteed to buff 3 party members at minimum. No matter the comp (standard comps only, not counting single tank). You could have 3 Casters and a Ninja, and they still have all their utility. 3 Casters and a Dragoon, their utility and rDPS is cut significantly.
