How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

You should have named it Dragoon DDPS Per Second

And when people ask what DDPS stands for, you'll tell them it stands for "Dragoon DDPS Per Second"

Yup. That's the first thing I noticed when I updated my Dragoon Model.

Now, what's interesting is how much influence Skillspeed has over different scenarios. TTTF x2 could be much better at higher Skillspeed as we'll slowly reduce the chance of a DoT tick being missed and shortening the duration between Disembowel buff and our next skill used.

yep, if we go with a skillspeed stack which is becoming more viable, things could change a lot

lower potency, interesting. lifesurge fullthrust is still gonna be the strongest probably, but maybe life surge f&c is viable.

I didnt expect more positionals but hey dont mind it. Sharper Fang and Claw and enhanced wheeling thrust seem to be the effects granted by CT and FT, judging by how there doesnt seem to be a combo requirement in its usual form.

the first thing that comes to mind is

holy shit 190 potency penalty if you miss positional lol

Well. Battle Litany isn't OP.

EDIT: 30% BUFF TO JUMPS?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WOAAAAAAAAAH

Glad to see this up, Dervy. :) Feels like we're ahead of the curve with getting our shiny new things worked out.

As for Aiurily's excellent pics - I'm surprised by two things. Thought BotD's initial duration would be higher, and I thought Geirskogul's potency would be higher. Considering Doomspike does 160 and is easily spammable, it's kind of odd.
