What version of Pelt-Dragoon seems more viable in battles?
Hop = tankier, more overall dps with Stabbing + Finestra + Pierce/Long Stride
Cata = SP drain with Acrobatic Mount + Earth Wave and very little dmg. Rush damage is okay-ish but still subpar. Obviously Cata boasts superior mobility.
Want dmg/tankyness? Hoplite.
Want mobility/farming quickly? Cataphract.
