Monk is intense, dragoon is laid back. That's my opinion.

I have both, and I don't know about others, but on monk I keep 'missing' full damage hits because mobs keep rotating. I constantly have to lead mobs/bosses to keep my damage and buffs up, and not mentioning losing GL because there's no mobs to keep it up on. Not so as a dragoon. One flank, one back, the rest I can just stay where I am and keep my skill rotation up with the same damage. A lot less work if you ask me.

Sucks to level and gear up a class only to realize, in the end, it doesn't do what you'd have liked it to :/
