Dragoons ARE knights.

I know they're knights, I was focused on the actual armor itself. Dragoons have a specific kind of look to them, and the gear Kale linked doesn't follow the norm for them is all. It looks like GLD/PLD gear, like mentioned.

Aye. To be honest, I assumed that was just another DRG set, or at best Disciple of War, based on the context of the other options. I'd love to be proven wrong.

When it comes to armor, most DRG gear is unique in that it's medium armor.

Tanks wear heavy armor other dps wear light armor, whereas DRG/Lancers are somewhere in the middle.

But as other's have said, when it comes to npcs there are plenty of sword and board Ishgardian Knights throughout Coerthas

Also Temple Knights > Sultansworn *shots fired*

Bruh.

Come, Let us gingerly touch tips....

So do BRD/MNK/NIN. Aesthetically, there actually appears to be subdivisions within the "medium armor" classification; BRD/MNK seem to wear leather and cloth, while DRG have comparatively heavier armor and wear a lot of scale/chainmail. NIN seem like they kinda move back and forth between light and heavy.

Some are healers/medics/doctors. There's an astrologian here and there (and we'll probably end up seeing quite a bit more of those).

Responding to the above, there is actually a Temple Knight shown in 2.55 equipped with a conjury wand.

Astrologians practice ancient Sharlayan arts. Not to be confused with Astrologians employed in the Observatorium.
I'm aware of that, but Ishgardian astrologians are presently being played. Virella is one, I think.

Very much so! I know one other as well, Katriane Hiver, one of Vi's friends/colleagues. I cannot wait to find out more about AST though, I pray the Ishgardians simply 'stole' the Sharlayan art, given they are dabbling into Magitek as well; seems they are happy enough to grab a hold of other crafts and what not to stand against the Dravanian Horde. But that is all speculations at this point. In any case, I got THM as a 'back up' class for Virella in any case. Huraay for scholary type of characters ey?
