hi guys, have some question for Dragoon build,
my char has reset when R9 patch, didnt change any job yet, in R1 now,
gonna go for Draggon C3,
since hop and captap has been rework,
which build should i go for?
1: Sw3 Cap3 Dragon3
2: Sw3 Hop3 Dragon3
3: Sw1 pel2 Hop3 Dragon3
or maybe other better build?
PS: for PVE only
i like cap mount riding, and two hand spear,
but at same time hop DPS has buff attract me a lot,
so hard to make decision… LOL
need all of your advice, free to comment, tq 
Since rework, cata is much more compatible with lancer. Not saying catagoon is bad, but it just works better with lancer.
Somewhat common build and buff focused, double slash is also strong
I recommend doppel over pelt 2, taunt DPE dragonfall.
I still like SW1>Pel>Hop3>Dop>Drag3 for standard pve build.
Just wanted to add, if you want to be more of a tank, Sw1-Pelt3-Hop2-Dragoon3 could be an option.
Pelt2 isn’t much better than Pelt1, but Pelt3 gets some nice attributes, as well as Umbo Thrust and Butterfly, which are strong skills that will get even stronger when the buff for off-hand skill damage gets here.
Other than that, the build Lostac mentioned is pretty solid.
How viable would Swordsman3->Barbarian3->Dragoon3 be? Cleave buffs Dragon Soar and the Warcry debuff duration attribute should bring the Serpentine debuff to almost 100% uptime on single targets, but I don’t know if that’s enough to pass up Hoplite3.
It looks good on paper but there aren’t many scenarios that you need all that long debuff duration. Even stage 6 and 7 cm, the mob still die fast. Probably useful for bosses at least. Could go highlander2 instead of swordie3 for more skill rotation and more debuff shock and bleed.
