It's rough, to say the least... the irritation of BotD dropping off during boss mechanics, and losing the LotD stacks, makes the poor payoff from 2/3 activations of Nastrond, even worse. You have to maintain a (comparatively) difficult rotation mechanic, to maintain mediocre dps.

I have yet to find a class i enjoy playing, more than drg, but the current state it is in, makes that difficult... I have heard Dragoon's described as Melee Support... *sigh* and here i thought i was playing a true dps job
