Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Osicat]

I must ask. What dragoon jobb specifics is accualy making it worth go for dragoon over lancer? I ask this as I find the archer 20% dmg buff and crit buff wery usefull and use them over MAR utilitys any day. Is the jumps so big dmg boost? As the to current date not give dmg immunity to aoe their survival utility seem lackluster and as the animation is rather long its neather a ultimate gap closer/charge.


I would die for a charge instant jump where you land lance first single target.

No amount of Archer cross skills will make up for the missing stat points. End of discussion, this question needs to die already.

I dont fully agree with this. He shows how equipping a job crystal gives him 20 dex, 10 vit, nothing else relevant, as we are dragoons it could be different so i tested it only to find the same, 20 str 10 vit. 20 str is ~4.14% damage, 10 vit is roughly 150 hp

but then we can pull over:
Raging strikes which in real world obviously you would have it up for your burst, but averaged its 2.2% damage (already makes up half the difference the stats do)
straight shot for 10% crit with as much uptime as you want
a DoT with 75% more potency than fracture



Is it worth it right now? no, likely not because of the gear youre missing out on (dragoon only AF set early on as well as relic weapons later on) but the stats arent enough to just say "no it will never happen just let this question die". i can very easily see a point later where class is a viable option, especially for fights where we cant jump without risking death.
