Dragoon
LOLDRG! Though there been changes to the once flawed structure of Dragoon, it is usually a job chosen more out of personal preference of playstyle than overall effectiveness. Dragoon is a multipurpose job, who's wyvern takes on behavior depending on what subjob you select. Overall damage of Dragoon can be compared to higher end jobs on a situational basis (IE: things weak to piercing) though in cases otherwise prove much to be desired.
Using a subjob like Warrior or Samurai will give you an offensive Wyvern, only using breath attacks of various elements whenever you use a weaponskill. Mage jobs like White Mage and Red Mage will gift the Wyvern with healing capabilities instead, casting cures to those in party with low hit points when you cast a spell or will remove status effects to those when you use a weaponskill. Some subjobs will grant you a hybrid of both builds, but limited to what it can do. (only benifits to you with lower activation)
