Easiest dps right now

No, I quite understand what you are saying. What I am saying is every Dragoon is grossly overestimating how hard it is to accomplish any of that. Have you played DPS in any other MMO that has random procs that if not used correctly, result in dramatic DPS loss? Cause I can name 2 off the top of my head, one that has atleast 6 of the classes that are like that. I'm sorry if I offended you (or any dragoons, or monks, or anyone) by saying your DPS class is easy.

It is funny hearing dragoons saying they are complicated cause they got a couple positional abilities. Meanwhile, monk has had many for quite some time. :P

The positionals are only one minor aspect really. Its a combination of doubling the amount of positioning, vastly increasing the potency loss for missing one, adding a new buff that needs to be maintained which is similar to greased lightning but more involved due to geirskogul, lenghtening the rotation and further increasing the already high amount of off GCDs.

I really feel that the new drg is not comparable to the old playstyle.

U are also funny, oh no w8 you just do not know how the class works xD

Not to mention it's random which positional you get as a DRG.

Nobody is calling DRG a hard class to play. Just many of the other DPS are now easier than DRG. I'm talking about DPSing ing a decent way.

Also Geirskogul spam can be tricky. You got one more thing to be aware of.

I also find SMN easy, but before HS.
Now i don't really now what is the best use of Tri disaster on bosses, because we would always lose some dot potency when using it (unless all dots end at the same time, which is rare).

ITT: Guy asks for advise on what class is easiest to play for DPS, but it gets shipwrecked by Dragoons needing to flex their e-peen and feel superior because they play a "hard" class. More at 11.

Also, I don't have a dog in this fight, but an annoying feature for Ninja is Mudras (in general, so many button presses and combos and lag, bleach, not hard but definitely annoying, like buying reagents to use your buffs in WoW basically) then using your Ninjitsu for a Suiton to use a trick attack (positional move) only for the boss to swivel around and it cancels the bonus damage and effect! doh! That's very annoying!

Did you read the thread?

Every single post. From page 1 to page 5.

The guy ended up deciding to stay Black Mage based on recommendations that it's essentially still "hit fire til mana is gone, hit ice to get it back" with a few more bells and whistles attached now.

Since when does "lag" classify as a mechanic? People playing in JP don't suffer from lag for example, so it's not due to class design. And bosses swiveling around and your Positional is screwed? Guess that applies to all classes that rely on positionals. Though I do agree that they should actually make it work the same way as ID and HT for Dragoons, just cancel the donus damage but still aply the effect when not hitting from the correct position.
