Stereotypes exist for a reason. Show your dead dragoons!

Dragoons do not rotationally use 15-20 skills. What in the crap are you talking about.

My rotation includes 16 skills. And about 5 situational skills outside of rotation. Go read a guide or something.

I only know one guy who seriously plays a Dragoon as main class and he is one of the best players I have ever met. When I did the relict for my Dragoon just for the sake of completing it, I asked him for a roation. He first showed me one to use without looking like an idiot for what I need during the Relict quest and then he showed me his combo, normal and burst one. Boy, that was a headache of skills depending on each other and various conditions. It was more than a dozen of skills used in a strict order but including variations when certain conditions are given. I have lots of respect since this for Dragoons who know to play their class well.

They aren't half as complicated as they look. The guide on the DPS role forum has crappy formatting. It's just a simple priority system.

Right, because the opinion of a lvl41 DRG matters

I've played priority system DPS in other MMOs before. Considering this game has a 2.5 GCD for everyone but MNK, this game is slow enough that I'm positive it's not as difficult as it looks. Especially considering that even though I only have a 41 dragoon, the only rotational ability I'm missing is Chaos Thrust.

Huh ? the rotation ( well it's more a priority order ) only have 8-9 skills , 3 for the damage combo, 3 for the debuff combo, 1 or 2 Dots and the buff on the side, not counting the big CD skills obviously...

Sigh...if you don't always use those 9 skills in the order of 123456789 in that order with no variance whatsoever...yes, DRG's rotation is long, 16 sounds about right.

I guess you missed the part where I wrote Priority order.
