I love the job. On these forums you'll see 'best DPS' list pre- and post-patch with dragoons never at #1, but we're not bad at all... if you play it right. And I really doubt it's the weakest, but I haven't played the other DPS jobs myself. It's a lot of fun, and I can't deny we look good in the wyrm set.

If you're serious about DRG and end up levellng it, read the 'Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn' thread. That thread helped me a ton with the job.
