    It's because DRG have several party buffs that increase everyone else's dps. People like that because a) it means a mediocre drg can still make a contribution (unlike a bad Samurai who is just a detriment) and b) it makes their numbers look better to stroke their epeen. Also makes burst phases burstier.

    Your numbers comment isn't as relevant anymore as they rank off of rdps not adps, so the buffs drg gives is added onto the drgs dps

    True. I forgot the site that cannot be named does that now.

    One thing I don't get about drg is why it's aoe skills don't extend disembowels damage boost at all like it does for sam's shifu and jinpu. Having two aoe skill that extend Blood of the Dragon is really overkill. Drg aoe rotation is not that long.

    The answer is probably that Dragoon's AOE skills were all added into the leveling chain in Stormblood/Shadowbringers instead of natively at low levels (Samurai), or added back to low levels/Buffed so they were actually worth using (Ninja/Monk).

    Even without being able to have 100% Disembowel uptime, Dragoon is still one of the strongest Melee when it comes to AOE. It's basic AOE combo has more raw potency on every move than the other melee AOE combos, and it has tons of additional sources of AOE potency besides that from Geirskogul (300 every 30 seconds), Nastrond (400 x 3 every Life of the Dragon so 1200 a minute), Dragon Fire Dive (380 every two minutes), and Star Diver (600 potency on first target, 420 on every additional target, every Life of the Dragon so once every minute). Even without the additional 10% or a haste like the other Melee, that's a lot of raw potency.
