Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Crush3r07]

I got a question for Turn 5. I'm just starting out and learning. For conflagoration you will hear most people say blow your cooldowns to break it. What do you guys use? I'm not sure what to use. I just been using TTT and any off global cd skils. I don't use the dives as it seems (although never tested) it would just get me stuck in conflagoration.

BFB on it's own is fine for one of the burns, on the other IR, PS+Jump and Life Surge should do the trick. DFD and Spineshatter are both fine to use, Mercy Stroke is excellent as always.

The order of operations on a burn conflag is usually:

Before - HT when conflag is about to come, ID on Twintania when it goes out but before it is up

During - Open with Disembowel, then straight into TT-VT-FT, if you get any more abilities than that off on a burn conflag someone fucked up

BFB

Make sure you're not eating a fireball with BfB up, your dps plummets when you're KO'd~ I did that in my first Twin fight, just ouch.

No fireballs on burn conflags

I meant to cancel it before the next fireball comes in, not that you could be hit by fireball during conflag.

I start with a Full Thrust and do a TTT combo after with jumps between and buffs before if needed. Also you can use Keen Flurry for fireball if you have BFB up, it parries 27% of the dmg.

I don't really play with any DRGs and haven't leveled DRG very high. Definitely my least experienced class for all the time I've played the game. That in mind, I've got some questions:

1. What does a well-played i90 DRG trck on a parser going from start to dry?
2. How close to that number will it translate to fights that matter, like EMPs and BC? This could be inexperience talking but it seems like they're not penalized as terribly for phase shifts and dodges as some classes.
3. Since DRGs put out bigger numbers and have burst in mind as a strength, do they value CHR more so than DET in itemization?

1) I parse highest in my group for most content.

2) Garuda EX, DRG's parse terribly compared to other jobs. Same goes for the monk.. Other then that, only person holding back the Dragoon is the player themselves for all other instances.

3) We always valued DET more than CRT, but because of the old stat-weights along with the itemization, we benefited more stacking Crit. We now practically stack 100% DET as we have more accurate DET stat-weights.

In fights like Titan, how do you guys keep up your rotation wherein you need to move constantly?

Because it seems the rotation in the first page is only good for ST which doesn't require any dodge or alot of movements.

All I have is anecdotal evidence but I missed quite a few times on Twintania with 463 accuracy.
