This results in me being very stressed and disappointed in my runs. The only thing that has helped lessen this issue is just not playing my main class in every day content. For some odd reason I cannot take a deep breath as a drg, but if I switch out to nin or rdm I find myself having more fun. Perhaps try this and see if it helps.
I leveled up to 70 as a Dragoon, but I switched over to Samurai because it's far less stressful. Dragoon's Nastrond mechanic runs on a timer, both when active and when building it up. If you don't do thing just right, you'll loss the ability to use Nastrond or lose a chance at using Nastrond 3 times. It's very frustrating and forces me to choose between dodging a boss' mechanic or realizing the full potential of my Dragoon. I recommend giving Samurai a try, since they simply just build up their resources and it doesn't expire over time. This means your always ready to roll, even if the boss has disappeared or caused you to dodge his mechanics. It's so much more stress free by not having those timed mechanics that boost damage.
