And knowing the fight is a huge help also with enough dedication and knowledge u can become a gr8 meme not just the dishonoring "good" meme 🥳💅💃
Hey m8, just FYI, drg aoe is not cone. It's all line. All of them. The combo and Geirskogul/Nastrond. A little bit worse to work around but not that much. Cheers!
I know dragoon is a meme but after the buffs it’s factually the best dps in the game. It does less than 200 less dps than black mage and samurai but also brings raid buffs. If you guys are watching this and aren’t sure about dragoon, PICK IT UP
Find the bosses rear, and proceed to thrust. Got it. 👍
From allthe reasons to play this job, mine is: my static forced me to learn cause they meeded a melee and dragoon whas the easiest to learn, since we already had a samurai.
I legit started this game as a DRG 100% because of Kain Highwind. Was not disappointed.
I chose Drg because I enjoy polearms.
I love BLM because it's BLM and wizard, but I hate using the class because it's worse than trying to calculate the final velocity of a rocket going backwards in space towards the Sirius star system while balancing on a yoga ball and avoiding bullets from a veteran sniper.
However, whenever I pick up DRG, I always get commendations. I'm a godly DRG.
After playing BLM, every other class is piss easy.
You don't HAVE to mash your first Nastrond after Geirskogul. If you think about it, you only need 20 seconds to get 3 Nastronds out.
Or u thought it was a tank because of its armour lol
The amount of thrusting in this video is rated R
Hey so um. No. The Dragoon Meme dates back to ff11. Apparantly is was just a bad job in that game for a long time before getting better. But despite the joke dying it came back due to dragoons doing dumb things that get them killed in 14. The meme is ancient af
F keys have always been too annoying a reach for me. I suggest mouse over macros 🙂
drg main here, dont give dragon sight to non-static blackmages ever. Trust me
You forgot the last type of person who picked up Lancer for Dragoon: I picked Viera as my starting race, and I picked Dragoon because bunnies jump.
also give Dragoon i-frames on jumping, screw balanceOther reasons to play dragoon: you main insect glaive in monster hunter
I only have one question only (i hope he reads this or someone who knows about the class) IT IS WORTH IT??? I mean the rotation looks hard AF to do it 100% optimal. It is worth the trouble or any other class can deal the same or more damage with less effort??
14:07 LMAO
That outtake looks like they're halfway to Hammerfell, if the velocity of the everything is anything to go by.
I just like spears.
joke's on you – i picked up DRG because i thought Kain was cool
15:40
I felt that
I never knew the thing about the circle below the mob!
Wth? I have been playing since the 2.0 o.O
Thanks man!
High Jumps sometimes cancel knockbacks from the bosses and it is the most hilarious thing to see.
I rolled a Lalafell and assumed I'd need lances to be able to reach anyone in combat.
Pretty sure loldrg came from 11 where it was also a floor tank.
15:06 gave me a fucking heart attack. elusive jump is so scary to use on fights with death barriers
Another option for targeting dragon sight that I find very smooth is using "Set Focus Target" and "Target Current Focus Target" (both of these commands can be binded under System > Keybind > Targeting
I have Target Focus Target on F, so after setting focus target (I use shift + F) on my tether buttbuddy at the start of the instance, I can use F to target them, dragon sight, and tab back to the boss without dropping gcd! Hope this helps someone
,,And using the jump in this cases, causes the game to bug out and make you unable to deal any dmg while your character name is greyd out,, xD
I’ve probably said “Dude Estinien is SO fucking cool” like 150 times and I’m only at 4.2(he’s the reason I’m leveling DRG, currently 54)
After applying the dot with the chaos thrust combo should I keep rotating to chaos thrust after a full thrust combo even if the dot is already active or do I just keep using full thrust combo until I need to reapply the dot again?
i play dragoon bc i watched moribito and fell in love with spears. i also am constantly disappointed by every spear wielding class 😞
I never share dragon sight outside of raiding, fuck those other guys, I'll give it to the healer before I give it to anybody, I've seen dnc's PARTNER A healer over dps before bruh
Imagine if they added invulnerability thing to jumps animations to troll people still meming this class
haha wait until you realize you can clip GCDs with your OGCDs!
A cigarette cherry can’t ignite gasoline
Thank you! this was really helpful 🙂
