Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dunncan]

We simply can't be throwing around numbers without specifying a length, people. Blood for Blood is that important.

This. Everytime I see ppl throwing parse numbers, I ask myself:

"How much time did this person parsed? Wich was the crit %? Is this an avarage number, or the highest after 2k atemps? Wich is this persons ping?" and the questions goes on and on.

And that's why I don't really care for DPS numbers in this thread. Except when someone bring a clear Screen Shot, where we can analyse the results.

Well since I've completed the non-crafted BiS, what could I possibly be doing wrong if I don't reach 630-640 DPS on a Dummy?
Rotation should be oke, used 1 X-Pot, Black Truffle Risotto Food, 1 Party Member, No Mercy Stroke and No Poisoning Pots.
Can't check my DPS clearly by myself either, because of disabling the reading of network data, which causes a delay in results.
(Trying to avoid the specific wording)

I'll try a test again later today when I'm home, including Poisoning Pots, but not really confident with it that it'll increase it by that much.

Didn't realize how much of an impact latency had on my dps until I upgraded my internet. My DL and UL speeds basically multiplied by 6 and latency went from 140ms to around 70ms (numbers reported by WTFast). My dps skyrocketed, and I noticed I could properly fit IR and BFB in one GCD or throw in a jump in between GCD, and not delay my next ability. Check your connection. It might be that

WTFast has definitely given me a huge DPS boost (idk If I've said it already). If you've got shit stain latency, definitely use WTFast. It's got an unlimited Free Trial as of yesterday. No reason for people NOT to use it now.

I just took up the WTFast offer, and saw my ping drop from "260ms to 160ms".
Eye-balling it from the estimations back in 488, there's roughly a 3% increase.
Previously my average was around 620, i'm not seeing any numbers less than 630.

Max 654.64 @26.9%crit (xpot, party, food, no_mercy, 3:18s)
Probably at least 660 at 29% or something.

Meh, IMO the zodiac weapons are a waste of time.

Coil is a waste of time, too. Without my Novus I would've been stuck progressing T10-12 with the Liberator.

Anything in life is a waste of time, all that matters is how much you enjoy said waste of time, thus is life.

hehe funny you should say that. I actually completed T10 and T11 with the liberator weapon when my static was learning those fights. (mainly because Shiva EX RNG was not friendly to me, 50+ clears, no spear :|) Since then, I got a tomestone drop from T11 so i have the 130 ironworks spear now.

[Dunncan]

Nevermind, I'll just leave this here, not sure what else I could do to improve what I'm already doing, rotationwise.

That's what I was talking about.
/clap.

Put your potion before your DoTs. Because you're on legacy controls, you should try not to rely on auto-facing to maintain facing for auto-attacks (use as little movement as possible, lock-on if you can handle it, manually face the target when you do move, etc.). Not much more to say without watching very closely.

Well, this was in i110 the first couple weeks of 2.4. No poetics gear, no DRG buff, Shiva weapons didn't go to i115, and T9 farms must've gotten me about 1/4 of my Nexus lights.

Wasn't just the lack of WD that made this suck, it was also like 60 HP lol

[Daweism]

Any adjustments or advice to do anything better?

Are you not target locked?
