Tank :
War (best DPS/OT)

Healer :
Whm (best large heals), Sch (best damage mitigation/prevention)

Caster :
Blm (best large group gathered together AoE dps; 5+ mobs, IE one use), Smn (best small group; 3-5 mobs, best single target magic, second best high movement dps all around; highest multi mob dps when mobs can't be grouped all around)

Melee :
Mnk (best single target dps), Drg (best aoe for mellee; Best physical DPS DoT; hate control; and highest movement ability with 2 move in jumps and 1 move out jump)

I think you should go lvl up other jobs or do some more research since your first post is a little off. I fixed your post

Best looking gear too <3

[ServerCollaps]

Dragoons are best in worst MDef from all classes including crafters and gatherers, lol

Nope. Summoners are, especially when you take foe requiem in consideration. You ll never match 2 - 2.5k crit Fester with your full thrust if you re not pretty insanely high in determination.

Both Drg and SMN here.. DRG burst damage far exceeds SMN when all CDs are avail. After the intital burst of DRG is over with, yes SMN can keep on using Fester - but this is approaching sustained damage, not burst. Fester is only 300 potency after all, our Full Thrust is 330. SMN have to be careful Bane/Fester/Energy draining for burst, otherwise you're out of Aetherflow for a min and stuck with 80 pot Ruins.

Dragoons can also guarantee a critical. There's no way to force a fester to crit. Summoner burst damage isn't reliable while dragoon's is.

A well played Dragoon is much more mobile than its punchy melee dps counterpart, thanks to all its jumps. There are quite a few neat tricks you can do, such as Elusive Jump out of an AOE to avoid a lot of damage and then Spineshatter right back in, using Spineshatter to land "on top" of an enemy and then immediately positioning behind for the Impulse Drive combo, using Ring of Thorns to deal a little aoe damage while moving around an enemy... All in all, they feel a lot more mobile due to their abilities.

I don't have DRG to 50 yet, but that's my impression.
