Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

The stigma is largely outdated but it's more of a meme nowadays, dragoons used to have really really long animation locks on jumps and it was very easy to just die to shit while you couldn't move, you still have locks on jumps and you can still absolutely die to it, but it's much shorter so it's less likely in easier content and harder content you'll more or less learn to map your jumps around the bullshit. They're also one of the classes in the old days that could backflip off the Titan platform(and later leviathan), so that contributed heavily to their reputation, since back then people who went off platforms couldn't be rezed, generally leading to wipes or much harder kills.

But they're solid nowadays. If anything you're more likely to run into shitty Dancers and Samurais(the former because it's an "easy" class and it buffs others so less skilled players might gravitate towards it thinking they don't have to play properly, and the later because it's the highest damage class that also looks really cool).
