Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Sir_Maxwell]

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.

Allagan Spear is BiS now instead of Gael Bog +1 ("zenith") so you have to make up the 34acc somewhere

I was under the impression maiming ear was part of that set regardless, even prior to this recent change.

Allagan Spear doesn't have accuracy iirc and it's almost guaranteed to become BiS once it gets buffed.

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 posted a few pages back about this but unfortunately it's still better to use PS on every other jump, using it with SSD then jump is actually a dps lose, they basically should of just reduced to 80 seconds lol or reduced jump cd to 30 seconds

Nope, only maiming accessory was the wrists

PS change seems weird. Would be better off if something would proc a CD reset on the JUMP, but the way it is now, well IDK what its gonna do. Probably not much! :P

I meant that it had been discussed a few pages prior that BIS w/ allagan spear used maiming earrings, even when they had SS instead of determination, but nevermind!

Yay for lazy DRGing! Heavy Thrust, Impulse Drive combo, Thrust combo until time to reapply things.

Ummm HT will be up all the way to at least the VT and even the FT depending on skill speed/game lag (ht falls of timer, but FT was used before it dropped off thus counting as a buffed FT)

As far as rotation, nothing wrong with the ol tried and true

HT - BFB - ID - IR - DIS - SWEEP - CT - PS - phlebotomize - JUMP - TT - SPINE DIVE - VT - life surge - FT - DRAGON DIVE

Not sure how long potions last as I've never really had to use one, but perhaps at the beginning? Any who this burst opener (credit to easymode!) Usually parses 330+ and even hit 380ish with a lucky string of crits

This rotation, is this just an opening burst? and how should i follow up with it?

At least put Phlebotomize in there. Its amazing.
And jumps deserve more love, especially post 2.1. No need to be lazy if the reward is that nice.
