Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Butcherboy]

Ithought the animus phase comes out 2.25. So the books after atma is the animus phase.

I (think) I've been doing the "perfect" rotation on the first minutes on T6 (full 90 NOT BiS) and I only hit around 120-160 dps :/
Don't think this should be like this.
When I used Fracture I hit a bit more dps but overall I sucked. I usually don't main melee so I wanted to hear what could be a major "issue" beginner dragoons do

[Butcherboy]

Hmm what's ur perfect rotation consist of? If your able to do the standard drg rotation but buffs/debuff and dot falling off then that could also be it.

Also is there an updated gear materia chart that have the new i90 crafted stuff.?

Gear: I have only Allagan + Heroes gear.
Yes a few dots fall of sometimes but, would it impact so much? I mean an average dragoon should be around 300dps?
And by "perfect roation" I was pointing to the one from the 1st post.

Yeah dots deal a lot of dmg specially a fully buff dot. So u can't really skip out on them

[Butcherboy]

And yeah that's pretty much the standard rotation. That's what I use

I must be trippin.. Yoshi-P is everywhere lol

Grats on the T6 clears I assume i90 is at least enough to beat it?

It's more than enough.We have a SMN with primal weapon(the shitty one in fact...)and it sill possible.Good strategy,good positioning are the key,to be honnest, the fight is really easy when you understand what to do,even easier than any "hard "primal" (leviathan and titan )

Whoever is using their hamsters in a spinning wheel to record your DPS, is either lying, or their hamsters are broken. With a perfect rotation, you'll be breaking 200 dps, even when you're playing horribly (I was avg. 220 my first few attempts).

EDIT: (The "P" word is forbidden)

EDIT 2: How much down-time do you have? As in, are there periods of time, longer than 5 seconds, where you're not dealing damage? (Excluding causes to mechanics). Are you using your burst whenever it's available, taking into consideration when Blighted Bouquet will occur?

MNK is like a melee Summoner. We deal most of our damage via DoTs.
