High/Risk, High/Reward. If my old models are somewhat accurate, at i180/i180, Dragoon will be 10 damage per hit ahead than any other job at the same baseline. Coupled with how much damage I'm already doing with my new toys, I wouldn't put it past me if Dragoon just has a very, very high Skillcap, much higher than Monk, but easily being the highest DPS.

Having said that, 190 potency penalty is god damn awful. You can't use any of your new skills in bosses which turn to target random party members. That's so poopy.
