Did Turn 4 today and it finally flipped me over to the side that complains that Dragoons suck.

Gears on my Dragoon: Relic+1, DL Helm, AF+1 Chest, DL Hands, Allagan Pants, AF+1 Boots, Allagan Earrings, Allagan Neck, DL Bracelet, AK Ring, DL Ring

Gears on my Bard: Relic, Toxote everything on left side, Toxote earrings, Toxote Neck, Toxote Ring, DL Ring, DL dragoon bracelet.

Parse on Dreadnaught:

Dragoon = 234 (Perfect 27 hit rotation) Bard = 230

So, my Dragoon nearly has all best in slot gears while my bard doesn't even have DL, yet my Bard can almost do the same damage as my Dragoon.
