while the DRG is in the backline or maybe should I switch classes midgame? Even then you still get 25% damage reduction for nothing, literally doing damage off GCD
bound to nothing but range for 10 seconds uptime, no brain actvity just mashing buttons.

and btw we didn't even speak of the 8k Shield you get 4 free
Yes, you can definitely choose to play the job wrong and deal substantially less damage for no reason.
DRG has no CC and no ability to chase. If you're not maximizing your burst, you're a minor annoyance without your team doing the heavy lifting.
DRG is inferior to NIN and RDM even when it's played correctly, but by all means, make it worse.
