Well actually this was my thought-process:

Buy a level boost for dragoon.
Keep working my way through the main game as a Paladin.

That way I still get the core experience of the game as an appropriate level but then can every now and then faff about as my favorite looking class since changing classes is literally just changing weapons.

I'm generally not in favor of people buying level boosts for jobs they haven't already played at level cap before (on an alternate character, generally) because the process of levelling teaches you how the class works. If you skip directly to 70 you're going to miss out on a lot of on-the-job training about how exactly Dragoon works, what abilities to use when, and numerous other small details you would only get by starting fresh.

If you absolutely must buy a boost (or you already did I guess, based on how late this response is) then please please please open your ability list (P by default), put all your abilities on your hotbars, and READ YOUR TOOLTIPS. Every single one, for all your abilities, including your role abilities and class traits. Everything is important. FF14 is really good about not giving you useless abilities, everything has a purpose. Read your tooltips and think about how the abilities interact. Most jobs have a very logical flow that makes sense once you've taken a few minutes to think about it, but if you never think about it you're not going to be playing the job at anywhere near its designed level of effectiveness.

Please, I'm begging you. There are already more than enough level-capped players who have no idea how to play their jobs. If you're going to boost a job, learn how to play that job.
