I've been looking at the two for some time now. Watching a Streamer reach 50 as a Dragoon, getting full Darklight Set and his +1 Relic weapon (first on the Faerie server we believe) and someone esle who is almost as the same point.

I really can't see a difference aside from the weapons and armour and a few utility bits. Both have positional requirements which I'm somewhat used to (being someone who really enjoy's Rogue like classes with backstabs and such) Both are DPS and both have a handful of utility.

I'm more asking for myself to confirm my class choice to take to 50 myself. I keep switching between the two. Now if we had some sort of Rogue/dual wielding class *hint hint Square* this wouldn't even need to have been asked. But untill we get confirmation on job expansions in the future (I'm guessing patch 2.2 maybe 2.3) I'm stuck between fisticuffs and a big 2 handed weapon.
