Karasu

Well I guess dragoon is not your type of style at the moment but maybe in the future maybe they get a buff on their jump evasive manouver :P. Well if you go bard its your choice, as long as you are happy. xD

Karasu I cant say much since I havent played melee in high lvls yet and im blackmage. For what I heard from people they say that melee are viable and they agree that bard can easily replace a melee but there is one thing bard is disadvantages its that melee's LB is much better damage. For a blackmage when you move you do zero damage since you have to cast them and you cant do that while moving. but okay summoner and bard can still do damage while moving though. But are you sure you will quit as dragoon already?

It's just not viable at the end game, the only thing that can take the hits is the tank, and they BARELY can, too much moving around to avoid aoes so you're mitigated to doing dps half the time and running around to avoid death the other half it's really not done that well, ranged dps can replace melee dps with ease simply because they can move around while doing damage from afar and most of the time they don't even need to move, the team wasn't really bad at all they were all lvl 50's and the paladin ended up solo tanking the last boss when it was down to 1/4 health...though it took him about 15 minutes to do so :L we ended up finishing the dungeon with about 5 minutes to spare

Aww it sounds like a bad team you were together with.. and I feel sorry for you ;( Explain more specific why melee dps isn't good. True, but doesent always need a start up with explanation if the main character have a memory lost or somethings like that xD Yeah backstory is really good at times but can be annoying if too many.. xD

Yes sorry havent replied, I have been in sleepy mode today and yesterday lol. ye Its great that some animes have their way to explain a lot in the beginning. I hate when in animes you suddenly out of nowhere just getting more confuse because you need some explanation. xD Where was that hell? xD LOL so many you have been dead! xD
