Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

Thx for the knowledge guy and gals. Hq buttons in a blanket it is. Is this worth eating in other dungeons or just coil runs strictly?

Best food all around for us.

DET is good on BRD too ha, I switched from full crit to 324 DET/536 Crit and do way more dmg than full crit ever did.

Det is best on all the DPS jobs I believe. Except maybe BLM... not sure how it compares to spell speed. Probably still can't go wrong with a Det built.

So am I to understand say that, getting the accuracy cap gear (482) + buttons would scale better over 472 + deviled eggs?

I'm not very savvy on DRG equip optimization, but the ACC cap for flank is closer to 460 than 482. 482 is only needed if you want to hit BC enemies in the face, something you'll do almost never (though admittedly will happen unavoidably at time due to bosses turning for AoEs and T5 adds and such).

<edit> so sorry i mixed up DRG topic with MNK <hide feeling ashamed>

Is anyone here using a macro that combines "Life Surge" and "Full Thrust"? I've tried a number of ways to macro the two abilities together but every result seems janky. Even something as simple as say:

/micon "Full Thrust"
/ac "Life Surge" <me>
ac "Full Thrust" <t>

doesn't seem to work as well as I'd like.

It's really not worth using any macros on drg, they will only slow you down unless SE changes the /wait increments from seconds to milli seconds. Only thing maybe worth doing is your survival skills on one spammable macro like featherfoot/keen flurry/bloodbath/potions for when your in trouble but that's still kinda meh and only useful for pvp/when you are tanking something like T4 rook or if you have a bad tank that can't handle hate.

The only macro I use is Power Surge combined with Jump, but I use the macro in such a way its more or less just saving a button on my bar. If I see power surge is up, I'll press my macro once (triggering PS) then when I am ready to use the jump, I'll press the macro again, executing the jump since PS was on cooldown. I will never attempt to execute both PS and Jump in the same GCD since its a dps loss. I have yet to see a negative impact with this macro tbh and have been using it since short after I hit 50.
