i managed to get dragoon all the way to level 50 without fully realizing that I should be keeping Heavy Thrust up all the time. I was more concerned with juggling the combos. So finally someone pointed out "you should use heavy thrust" and i felt like such an idiot that I hadn't been using this NICE buff??

I felt dumb and promised to try to use it from now on. But the other players on the team were nice about it and commended me for attempting to be a better player.
