DRG vs BRD

[Oohcut]

If both classes have equal gear, full health, & have all of their skills off-cooldown, there is no way for a Bard to escape/defeat a Dragoon in a 1 vs 1 scenario.

Bard damage is significantly reduced when enemies are too close/far and lose much of their auto attack damage if they are not facing the enemy.

Is there any way to counter this? :'(

The way to 'counter' is to remove this view and keep trying.
Very hard for board to help when we don't see your duel with DRG, can only tell from personal experience? But everyone personal experience different from yours so can only tell you general thing that might not even help you at all.

But it is possible for BRD to defeat DRG.

I've beat many mnks/drgs solo. Getting the first hits in is key, as well as saving your bind/push for the right moment (don't push them back knowing they still have jumps etc). Plus it's not like every drg you meet is pro.

The chance is very low. All the DRG's aresenals is heavily anti-BRD. Archer may have a little higher chance but that is depending on your CD management. Bloodbath + Hawk's Eye + Barrage will helps you recover after he did jump stun and leg sweap. Swift Cast + Stoneskin is alsy very important

Yes, I agree with Zyphione, you should try to avoid take on DRG 1 v 1.

Don't see why it should be a problem (or at least a decent match) since no decent brd is gonna be fighting any melee straight up anyway. Keep wind/venom up, wait for elusive jump/ weapon toss, (only pop purify when he starts stunning ) > shadowbind, full CDs, and pray :P Sprint/kiting/doting'll play a huge part of it but hardly impossible.

This might be off subject but I would like to see certain classes have no chance against others.

Dragoon (real definition mounted warrior) strikes an archer (what I consider a bard) should Win.

Nope,
You're going to die in 3/4 button clicks.
best case scenario, run.

preferably to a WAR.
BRD is a free kill to a DRG.

[AxelDH]

Ha, well a Bard can kill a DRG in one click of the button.

Blast shot off the top of the ledge, gg DRG!

Elusive jump prevent fall damage when used correctly, although a lot of dragoons are not aware of that.

[kensatsu]

yeah the jump prevent fall^^, need to keep a jump and when you fall you jump, you get back to your target (most dragoon used this on the landslide from titan, but yes it's not know by all the dragon)
in solo i think drg can certaily compete with most job, War can be annoying for drg to solo, it's hard to win a DRG vs War solo

i din't remember got killed by a bard in solo, why ? them can jump and reach directly and burst you in no time, he maybe have to jump again to achieve you when you escape, and have to trhow some lance. a drg with all the CD up = this scenario, it's maybe why the first attack maybe the key, to make it possible for bard, if them is not full CD also there more chance^^
