Doesn't help much if someone arrives late to the party or is outside its AOE (ranged classes often will be if you aren't focusing on them.) It's not really a problem - it's an obvious place where Skill Expression(tm) is involved in the class - but it *is* something that limits DRG compared to other melee choices.

Honestly, I'd rather have a GNB than a DRG. GNB in DPS stance does substantial damage while being more chufty than DRG, and they both have LBs that are basically worthless against high skill players but have potential to wreck everything if they actually get to make use of them. It feels weird to say that, but it's true - I'd rather see GNB than DRG on my team. Then again, I'd also rather see MNK instead of GNB. So I guess what I'm saying is, I want people to play MNK more.
