Larryzaur Mister Zurr, I need to know, what items do you use as glamour for your Dragoon? (Sorry for my Bad english, its my third language and my sentences are mostly built like german sentences, sooo, forgive me algmighty senpai)
As a DRG main, I can say with full honesty that the only reason to main dragoon is for how cool the armor looks - if you're gonna die, you're gonna die in STYLE.
I only started playing yesterday and I can say, I only picked dragoon because of how cool the armour look. Now I just need spikey gear and learn how to die in style.
The thing that makes me laugh about this, is I know so many DRG mains that embrace this stereotype lmao. "I went with Dragoon because no one gets mad when you mess up and die, they just laugh."
SeriousxSarcasm I went dragoon (well....freetrial lancer) because they are my favourite FF class But I might just accept the sterotype in case I mess up in the future BTW do freetrials get the victory emote?
SeriousxSarcasm When I enter a new dungeon I warn the party by saying that “ I have yet to meet the acquaintance of this floor.” But I am very confident in my Gooning abilities. I can’t even count how many times I have had to take over for a tank who has fallen off the ledge. “ I love being a Goon so much!”
I... I just started playing and picked lancer because I knew it led to dragoon because I had heard you might get “lol drg” when you die instead of people getting mad.. 😳
That's me! I've been searching for this comment! I have a soft spot for dragoons/lancers in Final Fantasies and it all started from Kain the badass, he's the best dragoon for me
One scene I found funny while playing as dragoon is when you meet Estinein in the main story and Alphinaud has no idea what a dragoon is and you’re literally a dragoon standing next to him who saved Eorzea with him. (This scene I believe is right before you go into Heavensward)
I tried to play as a dragoon for my first character, I was completely new to the game and had no idea how to play. I was the embodiment of "Lawl Dragoon".
the reason dragoon always die first is simple. because the basic job is lancer and by fate/ series we know lancer always died. LANSA GA SHINDA!! -fate carnival phantasm
That's where they trick you with the fluffy armor. Every one of those strands of fur isn't hair, but a really long spike. That "fluffy" armour is, actually, the most spiky armor of all.
LARRY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TAUGHT EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR JOB?!!?!? the first rule of playing a dragoon, floor tanking is only acceptable by earning it. you can't just walk into an aoe and say you died spectacularly!! YOU MUST JUMP, LEAP, SOAR INTO THE AOE WHILE DAMAGING THE ENEMY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!! every spectacular death you suffer must look as amazing as possible!! I don't want any of this "OH imma walk into an aoe cuz any death is good death" FUCK NO!!! DYING WHILE DAMAGING YOUR ENEMY IS THE ESSENCE OF A DRAGOON!! you're a dps, you're supposed to die while dealing damage, sacrificing your own health to take a piece of the enemy's!!! you must find the most cinematic, EPIC moment to die and TAKE THE LEAP!!! jump larry!! jump to your death!! and if you can't jump to your death then hit the enemy with a combo and backflip off a cliff, as if to say "fuck you boss you don't get to counter that 20k damage i just did!!! I'm the boss here!!" instead you intentionally halfassed the dragoon and proceeded to floor tank literally everything, alerting your healers to your suicidal tendencies and making them better at healing you, all the while ignoring the poor blm who needed the healers to adjust!!! FUCK YOU LARRYZAUR!!! YOU'VE SLANDERED THE STERLING REPUTATION OF THE DRAGOONS FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR TWISTED, MANIACAL SENSE OF HUMOR!!! and i don't like it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go jump off a cliff (salutes)
As a main Dragoon, I can guarantee, that this video is 100% accurate! But seriously, I love being a Dragoon! :D And yeah, I indeed love standing on high places in the exact same pose xD
Started FFXIV a few days ago and this sums up being a dragoon, that and playing in the Titan boss battle and finding myself dead somehow because I’ve jumped into the air and Yeeted off the stage
You know Larry, I'm proud of you. Ending it at 0:15 would've been considered a good video. Going to 1:04 was considered above and beyond. You gave us 13:08. Thank you.
Months later, now that I'm further into the game and actually in subscription territory, I finally understand where all those zones are and I appreciate this 1000% more times.
Thanks for playing with me (Azamalyia) and Xaldin! Also it's cool being in one of your videos. I wish I knew it was you so I could compliment you on your work in game.
The funny thing is that from what I can see in 2020, a few of these skills are no longer in the game unless they're upgraded later on down the line. My Dragoon is only level 58 currently
That healer trying to keep you alive, that's hilarious. Also you missed a great opportunity during Ozma. You can accidentally use a jump in the wrong spot and die. Hubby did that on accident the first day of Ozma.
You ain't kiddin, some great people that both can save you from death multiple times over but know exactly what your thoughts are too! (I.E. trying to die because Dragoon memes)
Curious about the game, decide to look into the classes and with Dragoons being iconic Final Fantasy fare I land on this video first. You can imagine my confusion. Fun video.
The first thing i made when i found out about Wheeling Thrust and Fang and Claw was a Macro that had both skills in it. That way I don't have to choose between two buttons, but just one! :D Still works pretty well with the SB changes, and i free up one more space in my hotbar for other buttons!
No cape? Then it's time to put on our new Viking Scale Mail glamour! :D Wear it, and YOU can be a stylish DRG hero with a cape too! (Warning: Spikes not included, you will have to bring your own, for example by switching to Au Ra :P)
can someone please tell me what armour set is he using in 10:45. I'm a new player, dragoon 74, I have something similar purple and a copy that has a cyan blue details
It's cool Larry we all know you secretly wish to main DRG. We get the emotes everyone has to buy to be like us. We get a better connection to dragons then Summoner. Betcha by the next expansion we'll be able to summon our own dragons into battle. This way Dragoon and Ninja will be more Summoner then Summoner :3. Love the vid Larry!
Well the Lancer teacher isnt really a dragoon so i think he should be excused from the spikes and the other guy isnt he a retired dragoon? Well at least he should wear his old spikes
Great video. :D I wish I'd be better at playing Dragoon, because their armor and stuff looks awesome, but the class totally overwhelmed me at 60. I had to completely focus on my skill bars and could hardly pay attention to the bosses anymore, the rotation is soo long.. just like their spear. °L°
I had to re-learn how to play it in order to make this video (to actually SOMEWHAT talk about how the rotation worked,) and it's definitely the most complicated melee dps in my opinion. Respect to the drg mains o7
The rotation is 10 buttons long, so if you map them in the order of use it makes it easier. Im a DRG main, and everytime I see a priority system I wonder how people could possibly play a class like that ;.;
Well, I should probably add that the rotation wasn't my only issue, I also had problems with not losing track of all the buffs, and in the end it just felt too stressful for me to be fun. ^^ Didn't have this issue with any other class (leveled everything except machinist), so I guess Dragoon just isn't for me. I'm curious if this will change with Stormblood's reworked combat though.
I main DRG, and honestly I've done it so much I don't even think about it anymore. I use a Naga mouse, so that makes it easier, but it's all muscle memory now.
Yup, using a keyed mouse makes it almost too easy. I have always used a g600 and once you set your hotbars in a 3x4 configuration and have a shift+ and ctrl+ it makes that rotation seem like nothing. The hardest part then is gearing so you don't have way too much skspd for the rotation. xD
Disclaimer: I love you Dragoons, please don't thrust me with your pointy spears
I thought it was hilarious! :D All for a good laugh
How about i trust you with my pointy spear? ;D
wow, that sounds WAY more flirty than i was thinking
We are too busy being floor tanks
Nobody else will do it
Larryzaur Mister Zurr, I need to know, what items do you use as glamour for your Dragoon? (Sorry for my Bad english, its my third language and my sentences are mostly built like german sentences, sooo, forgive me algmighty senpai)
The glamour is the pvp behemoth queen chest, and the augmented drachen armor dyed black :D
As a DRG main, I can say with full honesty that the only reason to main dragoon is for how cool the armor looks - if you're gonna die, you're gonna die in STYLE.
Someone has to tank the floor.
...Have you considered that you might just be bad at video games?
Does anyone know what the armor set he was was wearing in this video was? More specifically the chest piece?
I'm new to the game so I'm a lancer lol 20. I'm looking forward to dying in style one day lol
I only started playing yesterday and I can say, I only picked dragoon because of how cool the armour look. Now I just need spikey gear and learn how to die in style.
Dragoon pickup line:
Are you a healer?
Cause I’d tank the floor for you.
is that admitting your a bottom?
@@peytonreed937 a power bottom to be precise
uh okay, may of assumed power bottom meant being really good at being on bottom.
As a healer I--💀ksksksk
Healers peg us daily
The thing that makes me laugh about this, is I know so many DRG mains that embrace this stereotype lmao. "I went with Dragoon because no one gets mad when you mess up and die, they just laugh."
If I were a drg main I would totally embrace the sterotype as well
SeriousxSarcasm I went dragoon (well....freetrial lancer) because they are my favourite FF class
But I might just accept the sterotype in case I mess up in the future
BTW do freetrials get the victory emote?
@@Larryzaur DRG Main here. I'm quite the Dirt Connoisseur myself... :P
SeriousxSarcasm When I enter a new dungeon I warn the party by saying that “ I have yet to meet the acquaintance of this floor.”
But I am very confident in my Gooning abilities. I can’t even count how many times I have had to take over for a tank who has fallen off the ledge.
“ I love being a Goon so much!”
I... I just started playing and picked lancer because I knew it led to dragoon because I had heard you might get “lol drg” when you die instead of people getting mad.. 😳
You clearly exemplified the two main problems of Dragoons:
1) Healers keeping us from dying
2) Losing Heavy Thrust
Larry "OK! there's no way they can stop me dying now!"
White Mage "hold my beer."
I CANNOT BELIEVE! (Also I like your new icon!!)
:D Thanks Larry, i drew it muhself.
Tessa Jalloh I was the white mage and I totally had a beer during this. I was having to much fun trying to keep him alive.
that timing on benediction on pitfall was godly
That was some epic healing done in this video. Clearly that healer is used to running with Black Mages because they adjusted like no other.
I don't know who you are, but I will find you and I will heal you!
AHH PLEASE, NOT LIAM HEALSON! D:
Oh yes, for he is cometh! PRAISE THE TWELVE.
ryan mckellep I have a very particular set of spells...
White Mages be like...
... ... ... good luck.
But Larry, the healer's are doing their job. Healers adjust.
*looks at the dead blm on the floor*
they adjusted to the fact that you were doing Drg right and insisted you would NOT die as much as they could manage. Blm had to compensate!
Umm excuse me Blm doesn't compensate everyone else compensates for us.
Teaching players how to meta one white mage at a time. Larry is our hero.
@@Ahmira_Zaraelys i
Guild: "So why do you main Dragoon?"
Me: "Kain in FF4. Nuff said."
This is my reason for wanting to be one lol
Same. All cause of Kain. Second reason is Freya from IX for me.
That's me! I've been searching for this comment! I have a soft spot for dragoons/lancers in Final Fantasies and it all started from Kain the badass, he's the best dragoon for me
Me: .... i like dragons
big mood
*Your spiritbond with the ground is complete!*
One scene I found funny while playing as dragoon is when you meet Estinein in the main story and Alphinaud has no idea what a dragoon is and you’re literally a dragoon standing next to him who saved Eorzea with him. (This scene I believe is right before you go into Heavensward)
I tried to play as a dragoon for my first character, I was completely new to the game and had no idea how to play. I was the embodiment of "Lawl Dragoon".
4:16
"Why is the Lalafell dragoon standing on the table?"
"He likes to be tall"
As a dragoon main this offends me on so many level. You didn't die enough! This healer was not doing his job properly!
I'M SORRY, I TRIED!! ;;
That white mage was seriously on point. I bet they woulda adjusted for you if you were a BLM.
I could've stood in almost any aoe at all and been okay, they were awesome xD
but they didn't adjust for the BLM that died :c
They were too busy adjusting for Larry.
"I'm the DPS and you're all my support." *All other DPS classes cheering and saying yay with sarcastic enthusiasm.*
Why are Dragoons such shitty employees?
Because they're always asking for a Raise!
I love how the dragoon symbol is shaped with the arrow pointing downward...
... downward to the floor. Down with the rest of the dragoons.
I think it is supposed to be a dragon's head XD
the reason dragoon always die first is simple. because the basic job is lancer and by fate/ series we know lancer always died.
LANSA GA SHINDA!! -fate carnival phantasm
You are the rare few who associate the two series. Your of high culture I see
Let us not forget Lavitz from Legend of Dragoon.
Etika let two of his female lancers die in his Fire Emblem: Awakening live playthrough many moons ago.
THIS......This makes me wanna level a Dragoon now lol.
Lasagna?
That's where they trick you with the fluffy armor.
Every one of those strands of fur isn't hair, but a really long spike.
That "fluffy" armour is, actually, the most spiky armor of all.
So that's why Estinien keeps his distance from the Moogles
LARRY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TAUGHT EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR JOB?!!?!?
the first rule of playing a dragoon, floor tanking is only acceptable by earning it. you can't just walk into an aoe and say you died spectacularly!! YOU MUST JUMP, LEAP, SOAR INTO THE AOE WHILE DAMAGING THE ENEMY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!! every spectacular death you suffer must look as amazing as possible!! I don't want any of this "OH imma walk into an aoe cuz any death is good death" FUCK NO!!! DYING WHILE DAMAGING YOUR ENEMY IS THE ESSENCE OF A DRAGOON!! you're a dps, you're supposed to die while dealing damage, sacrificing your own health to take a piece of the enemy's!!! you must find the most cinematic, EPIC moment to die and TAKE THE LEAP!!! jump larry!! jump to your death!! and if you can't jump to your death then hit the enemy with a combo and backflip off a cliff, as if to say "fuck you boss you don't get to counter that 20k damage i just did!!! I'm the boss here!!"
instead you intentionally halfassed the dragoon and proceeded to floor tank literally everything, alerting your healers to your suicidal tendencies and making them better at healing you, all the while ignoring the poor blm who needed the healers to adjust!!!
FUCK YOU LARRYZAUR!!! YOU'VE SLANDERED THE STERLING REPUTATION OF THE DRAGOONS FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR TWISTED, MANIACAL SENSE OF HUMOR!!!
and i don't like it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go jump off a cliff (salutes)
YOU ARE BRILLIANT
See we can't adjust to the Black Mages, since we are always healing the Dragoons!!!!
OH SHIT, that makes complete sense!
"Uh did I lose heavy thrust again? Ah I did."
Honestly the realest thing in this whole video
"...there are bonuses if you attack from the flank or behind..."
"...well that's a lot to worry about..."
MOOD AF
how do you find out a dragoons personality?
by how they were 'raised'
nevermind...I'll show myself out.
Best. Troll. Ever. From that Healer.
"You should have made a shield to stop me from jumping off."
Larryzaur predicts Rescue.
When larryzaur said "just let me die! I'm trying to die!"
I felt that.
As a main Dragoon, I can guarantee, that this video is 100% accurate!
But seriously, I love being a Dragoon! :D
And yeah, I indeed love standing on high places in the exact same pose xD
That is the best intro I have ever seen.
Edit: "They put a Bole on me!"
Oh god, I can't stop laughing! It's starting to hurt!
Started FFXIV a few days ago and this sums up being a dragoon, that and playing in the Titan boss battle and finding myself dead somehow because I’ve jumped into the air and Yeeted off the stage
That benediction reaction was hilarious!
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! They also stoneskinned me and shielded me!
gearzdesign I laughed so hard that I timed that right. I could hear the 'Wut' reaction through the screen
i just started playing yesterday , and found your channel out i am really glad that i found your channel :D it makes me wanna play the game even more
Yayyy welcome!! :D I hope you enjoy the game, it's so awesome! Make sure to find a nice free company to join ^^
무사 heck man same here, I really felt more excited when doing the things he did on the vids... Except dying lol I'm not that great a Dragoon yet🤣
Sorry for raising you so much. =^_^=
THE TRUE HERO HAS APPEARED
I hope that hero is you
Fellow turtle~ :>
You clearly made my day ! That benediction was perfect ! Thank you !
Myscha pfft. totally was my benediction. I ain't letting anyone take this glory from me!
End the stigma, we dragoons are actually really good at staying alive if we want to :(
*dragoon meme stance from high up places intensifies*
that benediction timing though
they were on top of that shit holy crap, I was also shielded and stoneskinned
And also Bole'd
All the dragoons gonna be chilling on the rooftops of Kugane. Hell, everyone will be up there with them XD
I just love your every single 'Basically' series😂 I literally watched them like 20 times each and willing to it again! Keep up the good work, Larry!
You know Larry, I'm proud of you. Ending it at 0:15 would've been considered a good video. Going to 1:04 was considered above and beyond. You gave us 13:08. Thank you.
wahh ;-; Thank youu! I'm tryin'!
"plays dead' dies right after
my sides XD
Commended the dragoon on last Dun Scaith for doing his job like noone else, he died 19 times.
WOA! i'M SO proud of them!
Dragoon: likes dragons, face roll keyboard, posing in completely out there locations and die at all times
That healer who prevented you from dying - they resonate with me.
3:43 "If you're confused yet?? I'm confused yet! I'm a little confused at the moment.." Larry you're delightful
How to Dragoon 101:
1. Don't die
2. Hold pointy end at enemy
3. Win
Months later, now that I'm further into the game and actually in subscription territory, I finally understand where all those zones are and I appreciate this 1000% more times.
Just started FFXIV, and yes I choose Lancer/Dragoon for the looks only lol
These are, with out a shadow of a doubt, the most useful guides on YT.
As a dragoon this pains me slightly
Thanks for playing with me (Azamalyia) and Xaldin! Also it's cool being in one of your videos. I wish I knew it was you so I could compliment you on your work in game.
Hello!! :D And that's okay, I appreciate it! ^^
Rowena the healer, doing god's work there :P
Hahaha she's even got the dancing on point.
dragoon is like an nokia phone, we might fall down on the ground but we always get back up. Tanking that flooor duuudeee
Are Dragoons the Genji Mains of FFXIV?
Can confirm we are indeed!
The Ugly Ass Warlock I need curing!
Raise please XD
I think I’ll come back to watch this video every 3 years, that’s how good it is.
Old overused dragoon joke here.
"How do you kill a dragoon?"
"By putting an aoe circle under water"
How do you kill a dragoon?
You don't, they'll kill themselves first
The curse of lancer goes beyond just the fate series.
I freaking spit my drink when you said your duty was to die the most spectacular way as possible rolfmao you killed me right there 🤣
Why dragoon normally dont die? - Healers experience....with Dragoons! :D i even married mine so i have an eye on him XD
Healers finally adjusted
This has to be one of my favorites of yours! Your real laughter made me smile.
YESS!! THIS. IS. GLORIOUS! *Dies by landslide*
;; o7
I’ve been having the worst week and this video is cracking me the fuck up. Thank u. So. Much.
weirdly enough after i saw this video and picked up dragoon. no regrets ever
The funny thing is that from what I can see in 2020, a few of these skills are no longer in the game unless they're upgraded later on down the line. My Dragoon is only level 58 currently
You are correct, Heavy Thrust is an example of a skill that's gone
That healer trying to keep you alive, that's hilarious. Also you missed a great opportunity during Ozma. You can accidentally use a jump in the wrong spot and die. Hubby did that on accident the first day of Ozma.
I respect your hubby o7 doing a hero's work
Omg I'm only 1:30 in and I'm dying already, the titan, the dragon balls, the thrusting.
Drg main here, you described our job perfectly.
A lot of Dragoon's like length but with Obelisk you can some girth instead~ :P
Thank you for your wisdom ThePervertedHat
And thank you for making such splendid videos :3
I didn't think I could love a video more than your Basically, White Mage....
And then you made this.
This is my true role your video has inspired me to follow the true path of Dragoon
4:12 "What the fuck, actually" I feel like Larry was about to drop a rant I would have listened to.
"They jump, straight to the point!" ...BOO! X3
Dragoons in FFXI had a similar joke to your second one:
A Dragoon walks into a bar... and misses.
(It also applied to Dark Knights)
You see, this video actually shows us how amazing healers can be, when they feel like it. They don't feel like it alot it would seem.
literal GODS! skilled healers sure are something :D
You ain't kiddin, some great people that both can save you from death multiple times over but know exactly what your thoughts are too! (I.E. trying to die because Dragoon memes)
I legitimately only unlocked dragoon for the glam and the jump. Dat aesthetic.
Curious about the game, decide to look into the classes and with Dragoons being iconic Final Fantasy fare I land on this video first. You can imagine my confusion.
Fun video.
The first thing i made when i found out about Wheeling Thrust and Fang and Claw was a Macro that had both skills in it. That way I don't have to choose between two buttons, but just one! :D
Still works pretty well with the SB changes, and i free up one more space in my hotbar for other buttons!
Larry pls, stop giving us DRGs a good name! STOP BEING A HERO!! T_T
not all heroes wear capes ;; o7
No cape? Then it's time to put on our new Viking Scale Mail glamour! :D Wear it, and YOU can be a stylish DRG hero with a cape too!
(Warning: Spikes not included, you will have to bring your own, for example by switching to Au Ra :P)
@ 9:09 "The Glory Hole is no longer sealed!"
Whips out my Dragoon...
You forgot to rip aggro from Tank, then activate Blood for Blood to take increased damage!
ur so right. the video would've been better if it had more variety but 10/12 minutes of it was just dying jokes.
“I know my real job!”
Floor inspector.
What great heals! I laughed so hard when you didn't die lmao
I've learned so much about Dragoon from this video, like all I have to do is jump off the stage
AHHHH! thank you for your videos, they always make my day! Also, I'm the Di Va that waved to you in mor donuts :D
OH!! :D HELLO! When I first saw your name I was like "OH SHIT IT'S D. VA!"
YEEE, that's what i was going for! OVERWATCH 5EVER \o/
This was your best one yet!
RIP pole dancing move
ye RIP circle of thorns v.v
can someone please tell me what armour set is he using in 10:45. I'm a new player, dragoon 74, I have something similar purple and a copy that has a cyan blue details
"Blackmage, what are you doing?! You were supposed to tell the healers to adjust!!!"
Amazing. :D
I've never tried Dragoon but I've watched this video more times than it's healthy and I always lose it at the "I'm doing my jooob" in frog-mode xD
It's cool Larry we all know you secretly wish to main DRG. We get the emotes everyone has to buy to be like us. We get a better connection to dragons then Summoner. Betcha by the next expansion we'll be able to summon our own dragons into battle. This way Dragoon and Ninja will be more Summoner then Summoner :3. Love the vid Larry!
omg ;-; That's like how in FFXI they had a pet dragon. ;-; I want a pet dragon ;;
I rather my pet octopus over my Eos ;)
All SE has to do is bring in a Paissa-Egi and Summoner will be great again.
In FFXI I named my wyvern Oboro...and then he turned into my Ninja teacher in FFXIV. >.>
In the end -- the fuck does summoner have to do with dragons? Summoners are just beast people wannabes.
Thank you Larry, I was having having such a shitty night at work and now I feel better xD
yayyy! ^^ whenever I had a bad day at work I would get myself a delicious lunch/dinner :D
That BENEDICTION heal was EPIC HAHAHAHA
I can’t stand how funny you are. I drank a smoothie while watching this and now my stomach hurts from laughing too much.
Here's a Funny Joke
Dragoons Actually Live
"We use it for style... I will show you that later."
"Oh no."
Basically bard? o.o
Well the Lancer teacher isnt really a dragoon so i think he should be excused from the spikes and the other guy isnt he a retired dragoon? Well at least he should wear his old spikes
I completely lost it with the dead BLM and asking him to ask why the healers didn't adjust.
I'm so proud of your long, pointy spear, Larry.
Great video. :D I wish I'd be better at playing Dragoon, because their armor and stuff looks awesome, but the class totally overwhelmed me at 60. I had to completely focus on my skill bars and could hardly pay attention to the bosses anymore, the rotation is soo long.. just like their spear. °L°
