Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[VaShawn]

Guys, can I use 2 hot bars at once? Using a gamepad and I'm out of slots! Can I keep a second bar on screen for buffs only? And use gamepad while clicking on on second bar (buffs) with mouse?

Woot. Got those Allagan Gauntlets of Maiming last night First clear on T1-2 (yea I know, way behind)

The best bet is using the expanded hotbar option so that holding L2 + R2 give you an additional 8 actions. That's where I put the less used abilities like Second Wind, Invigorate, Elusive jump (all on D-pad buttons) and also the AoE moves (Heavy Thrust on same button as normal bar, then Ring of thorns, Doomspike and Dragonfire Dive on the face buttons). Should have enough space on the main bar for everything else (side note, I use the same layout for both sides so it doesn't matter which trigger I pull first but its personal preference)

If not, you could look at maco'ing in some abilities like Internal Release and Bloodbath into Vorpal Thrust and Full Thrust which would use them on cooldown. I would avoid macro'ing into True Thrust as I've noticed a tendency of it not registering the attack towards the combo (specifically on Heavy Swing w/ Warrior)
