Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Elkya95]

Why are you hating on Syg? Sure it's great when people share their big burst opener, but isn't it more fun for you to figure it out on your own? I'd love it if it was shared, but I'm not gonna be mad at someone on the forums for not sharing. Rather use that time to sit and try to figure it out on my own.

hey guys im just a few days old into the game, god mar to 15 and my lancer is closing in on 30.

just a quick question, as im lvling and dont have all my abilities is it ok to keep my buffs up and spam imp drive when im in dungeons? this seems the best dps because it feels like the animation is faster than the TT + VT combo while doing the same damage.

ID spam is a bit more potent than TT-VT.. Though the sound will get annoying quick lol. Just remember that ID is positional, TT-VT is not.

Once you get to 26 and unlock Full Thrust, you will do all of them, HT-ID-TT-VT-FT repeat

ID also consumes more tp then you regen in a cycle. Combos are front loaded on to cost and back loaded on dmg. Just something to keep in mind in longer encounters.

Then again its not like I didn't give any hint away, even told to a well known Dragoon on Exodus some insight about how to toy with what I was edvocatin in my earlier post and he found by himself.

*starting to backpedal through posts*

I'm not mad at you Syg, that's like calling out a retarded kid for double dribbling. However, I feel you kind of missed the point... Yes, there are always ways to improve your class, and kudos for you for finding out a way to do so. But the point of THIS thread, is to share information to help other drgs in the community become better, and to help get rid of that loldrg stigma. Your post did neither of those. Look how much work Avyar did to help the community with this thread. I doubt there would be 330+ pages if he originally wrote: "I found the best way to drg but I'm only gonna give you a hint, nah, nah, nah, nah." Either share it or keep it to yourself... posting "hints" isn't helpful to anyone.

On a side note, I could give two sh!ts about your opening rotation... I out dps you anyway *mic drop*

Oh snap! He do more deeps!

Our WHM manages enmity carefully. If he didn't, our tank would lose aggro during the fight, what with Dreadnaughts/Brainjacks/Mines interrupting his enmity generation in each phase. I myself come very close to stealing aggro in that fight.

In terms of DPS, I really wouldn't know. Thing is, each time I read something in this forum about DPS I always see numbers way (like, WAY) higher than those that our healer's parsers say. Like, you say 450 for our MNK? He averages 350 according to the parser. The rest of us rarely reaches 400+. And yet I even hear MNKs doing 500 or stuff like that. I don't even care anymore at this point.

We can easily skip the last set of towers during the second phase and if we don't mess up we can skip the last ballistic missile that usually comes before Allagan field as well - so we can't be doing that bad, right? We do know however that our MNK can and should be doing better, but I can't really imagine him doing 100 more DPS. We would skip way more of the fight, is it possible?

I'm with ya here buddy. I'm full i110, not yet BiS need the T9 drops, but in T8 my best parse to date was only 430, but I keep seeing how my numbers are on the low end, and especially in other fights like T6/7 if I'm over 370 I'm doing great but according to the forums thats bad :P I'm wondering though, as a community, what are your kill times for certain bosses? Our last T6 was 5:07 and our last T8 was 8:33, our best times yet. I am very curious to see how my groups times do compared to everyone else's, just in case someone isn't adding up our dps right on there notepad

EDIT: Don't care about T7 so much as our group stalls a lot for safety on Renauld timers

It have nothing to do with a hush hush kind of attitude on a public discussion where everything is given away or anything like that : havin class leads and players that are recognised actually help end game structures to simply recruit because they have something more than the public knowledge.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
