That sounds cool. You know anything about dragoons and black mages? And are your characters tied to one server or something?

Yes your character is tied to one server that is shared with PC, PS3, and PS4 players. Also in Duty Finder instances, you group up with people from other servers.
Dragoon is a polarm-wielding job that specializes in jumping and piercing style of combat. It is a melee damage dealing class specializing in single target dps. Dragoons have all the abilities and traits of Lancers. They can also use all the cross-class abilities of marauder and pugilist. The most important stat for the dragoon is strength, which increases attack power. In order to become a Dragoon, characters must have a level 30 Lancer and a level 15 Marauder

Black mages are able to cast devastating spells of magic on multiple enemies. A Black Mage's most important stat is intelligence, which increases their attack magic potency. In order to become a Black Mage, characters must have a level 30 Thaumaturge and a level 15 Archer. The Black Mage can access cross-class abilities from the Archer and Arcanist classes.

I was thinking of making a dragoon but I hear they're useless. Is that true?

Dragoon is the more versitile compared to a Monk when it comes to pure combat and has higher burst and high sustained damage whereas Monks excel at single target dps fights where the boss has a higher stable up time, but like any MMO, ranged will always be easier, espeically if you are a Bard since you can attack on the move at ranged which no other class can, but comes at the cost of lower dps while having the best support abilities compared to a Black Mage or a Summoner.
You will always want a Bard in a raid, and most times a Black Mage, but not always the others is what it comes down to if you really want to get into it, for the songs and big AoE nukes. Melees are your high single target dps guys, and Summoners are very good for certain fights as well but not always needed unless you want that Miasma slow for Coil T7.
