Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[PArcher]

So has anybody noticed controller hotbar swapping on ps3 has been semi broken lately?

It apparently is, and I assume that's what the maintenance soon is about...

But I didn't notice it playing last night, since I use the L2+R2 hotbar "switch" thing (that works perfectly still). I highly recommend using it if you only use 2 hotbars in combat; its really quick and "flows" well.

Yup. They're fixing it in the latest emergency maintenance, which is now. They also broke a lot of other things along with it 2.16 is really buggy.

any ps3 users log in yet? did they fix that hotbar swapping bug?

Its fixed yes.

However, I dont know if it was just me.. I still feel as if its gotten slower doing skills, especially if you're fast.

Is there a thread similar to this one but for monks?

I have found putting phlebotomize directly after heavy thrust actually produces more damage than after chaos thrust combo. a large portion of that damage comes from the DOT. The chaos thrust combo is a solid 7 -7.5 seconds long. that's at least 2 ticks of 50 ptoency you are losing out on by putting it after the chaos thrust combo. It's also far easier than keeping track of 3 buffs instead of just 2. It does put chaos thrust back almost a whole tick, which would be probably about 25 potency, made up for in the early phlebo. I am confident this raises dps.

also disembowel is not a +10% damage as you have listed in your DOT section. it reduces piercing resistance by 10%, not knowing what the mob's piercing resistance is, this can either be a large dps increase or a very small one. This too, also increases the priority of phlebo above the disembowel combo.

Quick guys. Is resetting my 30 attribute pts worth the 10k seals? Currently at 28 str / 2 dex

STR is your primary attribute. I would highly recommend spending the seals to reapply all your bonus into STR. Seals are easily (although it is admittedly boring to do so) farmed. You will reach your maximum DPS by doing so.

The damage of your Attack/Combo/DoT is determined by your stat-values AT EXECUTION. If you have 15% +dmg from HT when you hit Phlebotomize, that +15%dmg will apply to you initial hit and the entire DoT. Your DoT will not get weaker when HT drops.

also disembowel is not a +10% damage as you have listed in your DOT section. it reduces piercing resistance by 10%, not knowing what the mob's piercing resistance is, this can either be a large dps increase or a very small one. This too, also increases the priority of phlebo above the disembowel combo.

If all your damage (excl. DoTs) is piercing, then a 10% reduction in piercing resistance is effectively a 10% increase of all your damage. Afaik this works 1:1, I'm sure it's been tested and the calculations in this thread are all along these lines: Disembowel + Attack = Attack *1.1


@VaShawn: 10k seals are easily farmed. I am constantly getting them topped up just from weekly WP/AK and selling the greens at the Grand Company Supply Quests NPC.
