My melee damage was extremely low compared to everyone else's on the account of almost never swinging my polearm due to literally spamming WS after WS.
DRG have conserve TP job ability built in. w/o miser's soloing using Drakesbane I have had 40-50$ TP return, followed by a jump jumps to 100% tp > ws 40-50 return > jump > ws.
It may have been the rolls, but I am sure its place on a parse will drop with the nerf sadly
DRG was my favorite job... Then I got an Uko and asked myself why other DD existed sadly.
I've still yet to use DRG on anything super like ADL but I've taken it a few times to like Qilin, and on DRG/WAR I've outparsed Ukko WARs and Vere MNKs.
All DD can deal good damage. A whm could out parse most DD with the right hexa build any more.
DRG has its place as do all the jobs, just as it stands WAR and SAM with the proper gear and merits will be optimal till they nerf us all down to the same lvl (You know its coming)
My drg parsed pretty decently on stuff like Pil. I know Pil isn't like the yard stick, but I parsed consistently 2nd on a lot of runs. The leader was always the Amano sam >_<. But I have beaten Ukon Wars, Vere Mnks and Yoichi Rngs. Just sayin'
Beating an Ukon WAR doesn't mean much, neither does beating any emp/relic holder really. I've been in the main party with two other Ukons and done 25% of the parse while the others do 9% and 14% and the SAM in the off party does 21%.
Gimps gonna gimp, even if they have ukon/rag/apoc/vere. Plus people who don't know their in on a parse often tend to do worse than people who do know.
Doesnt mean much these days my pld came 2nd in a parse off a uptala run with vere mnks and ukon wars cdc > cdc > light > DE holy 2 is epic damage lol. The vere mnk who did the parse was shocked.
But yeah good job need more drgs in endgame stuff quite a useful job to have. I hardly ever go drg to stuff just cos my drk does more damage.
