Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[adahn]

I would have preferred a buff to potency and recast time on jumps than on full thrust....

right now as many other drg at end game I already use jumps on cooldown in most if not all major fights. the animation reduction will increase dps but not as significantly as the buff to full thrust...

Just as a reminder, the Primal accessories are i80, so I really doubt they'll make it to BiS lists for most classes (esp not one with three choices as it is now)

According to the list, Ultima accessories are i80 and the EX Primal accessories are i90.

hmm...I must have read that wrong. OK, then, maybe they will be better. But that means the new Neck and one Ring are out completely (since the Ultima are i80)

Meh, they did buff the potency on pretty much everything else not to mention the 5% increase on all our damage (assuming a good dragoon with heavy thrust always up)

Now you're just being greedy

Oh, here's something I'm worried about: how will we time Jump and Power Surge together? Before the CDs on Jump and PS were 40 and 90 seconds respectively, so you could basically use PS on every other Jump. Now that PS is 60 seconds, if you wait every other Jump, you're going to have a lot of wasted time.

I'm not going to like using PS on J, then SSD, then J again, but I might just end up doing that. . . -ridiculous request- let it work on DfD!!!

Sorry if it's already been posted. Allagan Earrings of Maiming is to now replace the Striking for BiS.

Also, is it bad I predicted a buff to Heavy Thrust to 15% all the way back in September?

I don't like the changes to Power Surge to be honest with you... But, I believe there's a now a possibility to throw Spineshatter into our main rotation if the animation lock makes it completely fit within 2s.

Lovin the changes, just have to space out the use of SSD a bit, but all fine otherwise.

Have some fiery times, dragoons <3

Maybe I'm talking out my ass here, but what can we do with the extra accuracy from maiming ear that would make it BiS over striking? The latter still seems a lot better to me.
