Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Aiurily]

Mh...I tried this and while it seems solid and all, I can't seem to get that last Full Thrust with B4B. That was with 368 SKS, when I raid I usually have even less. I...just don't get it. I just mash Leg Sweep and after that B4B, which is what I see you do in the video. Is it a latency-related issue?

yep, just latency. some people can do it with less, some people need more. 365 is my lowest number that i can do it at.

generally i see it 3 tiers of latency affecting your dps

fitting in extra skills during buffs (9 skill bfb @ 365+sksp as an example) - excellent latency, cant get much better than that
not clipping your gcd during jumps and double oGCDs between GCDs without clipping (minus jumps) - alright/good latency, good enough
clipping your gcd with jumps/double buffs and not being able to use slightly late oGCDs - poor latency, [send help]

thanks for the advice ill get the legs should i look to get the wod hands as well or the poetics hands down the line before DW seeing as im using the soldiery hands still

I'd recommend just holding onto the Sold gloves really and using the demon to get the Demon Chest first. It'll be a bigger upgrade than your chest piece atm. And just hold out for DW gloves since it's T10, and you have the belt already. DW gloves are BiS, so wasintg poe on the gloves is a waste.


Though the poe chest is BiS, since you can get demon chest piece to hold you out, I'd recommend updating your accs after your legs, first.

Then round that all up with the IWS earrings, or the crafted earring if you have the money.

So I'd recommend the following:

1st week: Poe Legs + Demon Chest piece. Try to get DW Gloves/Ring/Neck/Helm piece from T10/11.
2nd Week: Get IWS ring + Upgrade it. Still try to get the prior DW pieces.
3rd/4th Week: Get your Poe chest piece.
Then last remaining piece should be your IWS Earrings if you did not buy the Platinum crafted earrings.

If you are not seeing the necklace drop at all, you can try to upgrade your current one to the IWS, but I'd leave that till last since it's no where as good as the DW piece.

Hope that helps.

Lol, my condition fluctuates between the second and the last one described. At times (not often, thankfully) the jump locks me with the animation but does not do anything, interrupts saying "You can't use that ability yet", and then it resets the cooldown as well...in those moments it even cancels the highlighted skill for the combo I'm executing, although the next attack still registers as combo'd. Meh. About the opening, given the latency, what would you suggest?

Hey guys!
This is a nice guide, I just hit Lv50 with the Dragoon and actually like it!
I wanna ask if someone that is on PS3 like me or simply is using a controller/pad can help me to optimize my hotbar. I find a little hard to use the OGCD skills like Power Surge, and jumps between IDC and TTT combos. With a controller it looks like im playing piano ;_;
In R2 I have the TTT combo + HT and the IDC combo + Ph
In L2 I have all buffs + Leg Sweep and all Jumps + power surge.
Thank you for all kind of helps. ;_;

This is where I'm at right now since my static hasn't been able to clear T11 just yet (lol). My parse for tonight on T10 was 456 so barring a few mistakes I made here and there that I remember I think I'm doing okay? Not sure how much I should REALLY be expecting to push with my gear.

Also I haven't seen anybody say anything since Dervy was messing with the calculations for the crafted BiS and was wondering what the opinion on set 2 (from page 468) was at this point. If I remember correctly it came out as the best set DPS wise from his testing by just a hair. I remember set 1 being heavier stat wise but lower in his DPS tests so I'm avoiding even thinking about those crafts right now.

I have a question, If i do BFB in t13 during earthshakers and the tank cover me, do the tank takes more damage? Just wondering!

is going max det/crit on my relic(which is what im currently doing, like 13 alex to go) the best option?

BY far the best and only option.
