I suppose it helps, especially if you have Impulse Rush to negate the directional requirement. Yes, there are solutions. And I'm happy (sort of) to hear that Monks have difficulties too, I hadn't considered the inconvenience of maintaining Greased Lightning 3. However, Monks DO offer Mantra, and the options of silencing foes, as well as removing buffs. These are party utilities that Dragoons don't have. It's difficult to convince people to take Melee over Ranged at all, unless they're among the few who've been shown the light by actual skilled Melee players, so it's only made worse by our being, objectively, the less good choice of the two.
Again, I reiterate, I love Dragoons. But I can't defend them here, that's not why I made the thread ;b Utility is our biggest weakness. All we have is the Limit Break. Is that enough? I say NO, because Monks can do it too, and even if it's slightly less damage, that difference doesn't seem like it'd be enough to make up for the utilities a Monk brings to the fight.
I just don't really see where you're coming from, tbh. Â My static specifically wanted a Dragoon for ours, and we wouldn't trade him for a Monk.
Well, your static is certainly an exception to the rule, from all I've heard ^^ Lucky Dragoon, there. But why did they want one? Just for LB?
