Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

HT [BFB] ID [IR] DE [Leg Sweep] CT [Power Surge]
PH [Jump] TT [SSD] VT [LS] FT [DFD]

Hello my fellow Dragoons

Thx Ayvar for making the awesome thread & thanks Easy for providing the Fractureless rotation With 2.44s GCD I just can't get HT+FT if I use oGCD's, so the above rotation is serving me nicely.

As to the optimal use of oGCD's for opening that combo, I think Power Surge should be used sooner,
as it does not profit from BFB/IR and is thus reducing the uptime of those buffs:

Or did I miss something and it's important for DE to crit thanks to IR?

I agree with your logic but, with your 2.44 GCD and four weapon skills in between life surge and jump it would probably fall off just before you use jump ?

Maybe using BFB > Powersurge > IR would be slightly better.

BFB has 20 sec duration and 80 sec recast, IR 15 sec duration 60 recast so staggering them by 2 GCD (~5 seconds) would mean they will still both stay up for the duration but it will make them line up again better when they come off cooldown, even if only for 5 seconds or 2 GCD lol

Something like this:
HT [BFB] ID [Power Surge] DE [IR] CT [Leg Sweep]
PH [Jump] TT [SSD] VT [LS] FT [DFD]
