As the term is used in XIV (as per virtually every MMO), burst is the peaks of those mountain looking things on your, say, fflogs damage-over-time graphs, and what portion of the overall area under the line is within those peaks.

Dragoon has burst damage. In spades.
You just described exactly what ive been talking about DRG is a sustain DPS not a burst DPS.
I've seen the fflog but I'm not talking about where DRG is on the tier listing I'm talking about actual gameplay.
Yes DRG can be Sustain DPS and be high tier, yes DRG can also be burst DPS and also be high tier.

I'm talking about playing DRG like its always been played.
In every other FF game DRG has been the heavy hitter of the group, not the mediocre hitter but can attack faster then everyone else.

but sure lets move on from the past.
You can easily tell Yoshi P has no idea what to do with some of these jobs, like DRG, by that fact they make skills like BotD and clearly never tested them out.
