Personally i think dragoons damage are fine and if you know how to "use" a dragoon well your damage will be very nice. Its those people who don't know how to use a dragoon. Personally if your having trouble as a dragoon to find a coil group do not pug one, just find a fc who is looking for a melee dps honestly it shouldn't be that hard, and some groups use two bards but im sure alot of groups dont. I love my dragoon and he is great the way he is now, i also don't feel bards should be nerfed.
