Unfortunately... yes... but the rng nerf has given drgs hope! Well, in actuality, people are starting to realize that drgs arent that bad, but there are drgs out there that give other drgs a good name *cough* blacklightning *cough* Unfortunately they give drgs a bad rep. But there are good ones out there.
The problem with dragoons is the same problem there's always been w/ dragoons.
1. Fanboys - they've ruined the rep of this job. Sephiroth McKaindrg1337111 can just suck my balls and rotate on his lance.
2. middle-late chest armor. No haubergeon or anything similar. Scorp. harness is good, but there's no attack. Assult Jerkin = no acc just atk. and that's about it. the barone chest is pretty cost prohibitive for the stats it offers.
3. Wheeling thrust, while sexy as all hell just doesn't have the punch that other Light openers/closers have.
That's about all i got. i love a good dragoon, they're great damage, great support, and great fun...but they are not w/out their downsides. But widge is right. now that rng's got the big shaft drgs are getting some more love, since they sit in a lot of the same slots on the renkei chart.
that having been said, i still think you should try something new wasa. come back and have a new adventure, i wouldn't run the risk of falling back into yer old groove.
I probably will try something new. Its just Im debating whether or not to contact SE and ask to see if I can get Wasa back. If not then I got some serious issues cause there is no way in hell im sitting 6 hours for that stupid choco quest. NO WAY IN HELL I TELL YOU!!! NO WAY!!
Oh and what RNG nerf? I havent read anything about that....please inform.
