Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Zenmaku]

Pausing for 1.0 sec is a DPS loss greater than any rotation change.

Are you joking?

So you are saying that NOT pausing for 1.0 seconds and NOT applying CT DoT which is 200 potency is better?
When it's time to hit the combo, you don't have a choice, you either wait to be able to use CT or use it and not apply the DoT on the enemy. The ONLY thing you can do in that delay is use off-GCD abilities. There is no other option.

If you change the rotation, you also risk the other problem that you were discussing of not always having all the DoTs on the enemies at any given time.
I seriously doubt you can calculate this perfectly to account for the inconsistencies of our GCD delay from Jumps and server lag etc. Do not even try to pull out math here, it doesn't work when facing those inconsistencies. The ONLY thing you can do is wait that extra second or not have the 200 potency DoT applied and decide not to wait.

EasyMode, just stop pulling out the numbers all the time, as a fellow lategame DRG you know just as well as all of us that it NEVER works like that because of many factors (sometimes you just cant move to the flank of the enemy because an AOE circle is placed on top). In order to play this class effectively you HAVE to eyeball, HAVE to adjust for inconsistencies, and just use your rotation the best you can in the meantime
