Is DRG too weak? does it need a buff?

[Aanmer]

Dragoon is very effective and their damage debuff also effects Bards so the total DPS output is higher. If you really want to put out the numbers and make your group love you, learn how to burst hard when needed and keep your sustain up (Heavy Thrust and Dots rolling).

Also there are a lot of really smooth moves a dragoon can do; for example lets say the Dreadknight is spawning on turn 8 so you go over to the back of the boss and do an impulse drive then your first attack on the Dreadknight is the debuff. Now you and the bard are doing 10% more right at the start and the thing just melts. Being geared and doing a hard burst on with all your buffs up on the Sahagin in Levi EX and having people go "???? What just happened?" Alone makes dragoon worth playing.

Plus if ROG/NIN use daggers, more power to the DRG. Probably slashing though but then PLD would get all teared up.
