You'd use the rotation of HT-IDC-P-TTT-TTT on repeat, and pop BoTD as your jumps come off cooldown. Since the durations have increased a bit, you can get an extra round of TTT in, so it's not quite the same as the old rotation. If I remember correctly, when I was in that level range I would have CT and Disembowel fall off sometimes just before re-applying. Not a big deal, I don't think. Just watch your timers and react, but I'm pretty sure I remember using basically that same combo.

Regardless, a nice chart to take a look at I suppose?

Yeah it's a nice sheet. Adding it to OP later.

I calculated a while back, that the average potency of "4th" needs to be 220ish (counting misses) over the course of an entire encounter, for it to be a PPS gain over H IDC4 P TTT4 TTT4. That includes Jump buffs and GK if I'm not mistaken.

As for Dropping BOTD vs skipping HT/P.. As long as you're able to hit all positionals in that cycle, yes skipping either a P or HT in favour of not dropping BOTD is the wisest thing to do. Dropping either is between a 1-2PPS loss, where as dropping BOTD is an 8 PPS loss including GK and Jump Buffs.(calculated in a 120s cycle that is).

That's one of the things I'll be adding to the OP later.

He should be using the Rotation of Shame as he doesn't have WT/FC yet. Everything else is spot on.

hi guys, i am so excited to finally be a Dragoon, at lvl 32 right now but i am strangling with the rotation at this low level. I've just got Ph and Jump and i am not exactly sure where should i fit those in.
I mean, i don't have yet Dis so my rotation goes something like that:
HT-IR-TT-VT-LS-FT-Ph and repeat the FT combo. Can you please tell me where should i fit Jump or B4B which i'll get at 34?

Someone ask for it and YoshiP deliver it

N200 potency??

DRG FOTM time lads. That means there's absolutely no excuse to ever drop BOTD in any given situation.

EDIT: LMAO at i200-i210. That's broke. Also, is the Law gear our amazing AF2 DRG gear?
