Dragoons are overpowered

[Rumpelstiltzkin]

If this is true I am sad. LolDRG is just how it is supposed to be in FF mmo games. Not OP, not even equal... LolDRG.

NIN friend and I (DRG) are usually very close to each other in damage until the target swaps start. That is when I seem to start falling behind. Think the piercing debuff combo being attached to a DOT hurts DRG a little on mobs that die in 2 combo chains.

In any case I have to agree with what was said in this quote

Not playing properly,Top dps will be :
1st DRG , 2nd NIN , 3rd MNK

Talking PVE...
I hope DRG gets some group utility with the xpac. Our stun is unwanted and our slow is a joke.
We do have a few things going for us though.
We do well with TP making it so the Bard or Ninja have 1 less person to worry about.
We can jump off hate allowing us to spike up damage and not hurt the team by pulling threat.
We are flexible in our ability to AOE decently as far as current melee go.
We buff Bard with piercing debuff on enemy mobs.

With xpac:
It would be great to have a second option that is not a DOT to combo off of Disembowel.
(Super reach here) Would be cool to get an INT down that dose not stack with Monk's Dragon kick or some other kind of skill that helps keep a party up through unavoidable damage.

Let this be a lesson to you NINs out there.

Don't bother trying to play well, because no matter how good or bad you are, you will always be second rate. :<

How dare they finally balanced Dragoon!

DRGs are kinda fine, NINs are the ones disgustingly OP though
free gl3, raidwide dps boost, no positional, great AOE and best dps in game

I hope you're serious. This would be way funnier if you're serious.

OP, You're just jealous of our fancy new LB3.

Any true Dragoon must listen to this song atleast once.

As for if the Dragoons are overpowered I can't say. I don't play a Dragoon or any other DPS so have nothing to compare them with.
But I can't say that I see them as OP at the moment. All I can say is that they're gonna get alot more attention from the playerbase with Heavensward (based of the video with their new shint LB3). But that's just my own belief.

Because they are not, MNK beats NIN in most fights. NIN can burst and spike faster at the start, but over the fight MNK pushes and stays ahead. If a NIN is pushing ahead of you and staying ahead of you, it's either due to gear difference, or skill. Equal skill and equal gear, MNK beats NIN.

Also I've cleared all content (except savage) and run with a NIN in the static. So I'm talking from high level experience as a full time MNK. Not WoD.
