How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Hakmatic]

So I see the min. sks requirement on the OP went from 58x to 57x. Is there a reason this changed or just found out 57x is enough? Also thanks again for this thread Dervy, this should help me catch up on my dragoon skills. ^^

Actually, it's currently 590, because of the necessity for our GCD to be 2.4 seconds, allowing Gierskogul to be used with 22 seconds left at the time of BotD refresh to get back around to our 4th ability safely.

Well the BiS for 624-64x acc only has 571 sks in the OP. The acc cap for A3 and A4 are for sure in that range. I just switched to dragoon, so Im behind on gear and trying to see what I need to obtain.

Hello fellow Dragoons !

I have a little question for you :3

When we have to kill adds which have a low hp pool (for instance during A1 savage), what's the best rotation to use ? HT (if needed), impulse drive, dis, ct , 4th or the other one ?

Typo. Opps. I was copy-pasting a lot of things.

Anyway, I've been fiddling around with my Model and playing with 570 SS even in savage for the past few days, which is 2.418 GCD. Risky, but doable.

The only issue is that it really does require strict timing, clever use of your gap closers to ensure you're not delaying GCDs and knowledge of when to drop Phlebotomize/Heavy Thrust in favour for BotD up-time. You have to play the job perfectly with 570 skillspeed.

Having said that, from what I've heard of A3S, for Dragoons, I do not believe it'll work. If there's a DRG in A3S pls try it with 570ish SS for giggles and see what it feels like. No need for mechanics spoilers and ruin it for the World 1st Club, just "yes, no"... So I might scrap that.

Either way, they're just the sets for the Accuracy Ranges, and as we don't know what the Accuracy Requirements are, they pretty much mean nothing and are there to look pretty. The only set that's "confirmed" for A1S is the first set, as the accuracy range for that set is like 570-596, and the A1S accuracy is between 587-590.

Monk had 586 with Flint Caviars and had 98% accuracy.

But yeah, I posted the "less risky" set on the OP if you want to take a look at it.
