Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Aiurily]

hm, i actually take back what i said earlier

2.47 GCD or 365 skillspeed is the number to hit if you want to fit in 2 phlebotomize or full thrusts in one B4B duration. it's pretty tight, but you can fit in all three jumps in and still hit it. although if you miss much more than 0.01s of your gcd, you'll probably miss the window. you basically need to cast BFB in a way that ensures you can use a GCD as soon as its animation lock ends, with no waiting on the GCD to cool off (so you'd use BFB at around 0.3s left on GCD or so). a lot of the times, unless you're right on the dot, you'll probably clip your GCD by 0.1s or so in order to get this BFB timed well enough that you can get an extra FT/phlebotomize in. the 535 bis with flint caviar has 2.47 ss, which is a bit more lenient and lets you fit in all three jumps, but it's still tight even then.

effectively that's 108 extra potency in damage every BFB cast, or about 1.35 potency per second if you get BFB off CD. the DRG bis with the flint caviar has 370 skill speed, which achieves 2.47 gcd; too bad you'll be chugging down 30k+ foods for t13 ;_;

comparison of sets

set 1 - 540 501 409 341
set 2 - 535 558 358 370

-5 acc, +57 crit, -41 det, +29 skill speed.

trading 41 det for 57 crit and that skillspeed (which allows for extra phle/FT in bfb) seems like a tough call, especially since life surge buff has probably decreased crit weight slightly. honestly, 535 might not even be 100% confirmed for t13 flank cap; i hear a lot of 536 confirmed 100% hit rates, but no real evidence for 535.

although if your scholar is using selene, you can disregard most of this post half the time w
