Overview

The Dragoon job gives your character the ability to use punishing piercing attacks from a long range. Dragoons embody the possibly quixotic ideal of a "long-range melee fighter," and balance between agile movement and powerful strength. Dragoons are mostly a physical job, but they maintain a magickal side. Their bonuses are entirely physical: to Evasion and to Accuracy. They tend to be a long-range job, but this is not exclusive — dragoons are quite well engineered to shift into the front row if they need to. Their role is generally a direct-damage role, but they gain many spells that enhance their party.

Dragoon Statistics

Base Statistics

Dragoons can enhance their already-boosted Evasion and Accuracy with a high Dexterity, which often makes them the most dexterous of the heavily-armored jobs. A high Dexterity also helps to mitigate the high Delay of their signature ability. Still, because their role is primarily damaging, many dragoons will invest in Strength over Dexterity. Given some of their magickal and support abilities, Dragoons may also choose to invest in Charisma or Intelligence.
