Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

400 * 1.017 = 406.8 DPS for the Paladin - And even less actually, as afaik there isn't a time where a Ninjitsu perfectly lines up with a TA. Therefore it's not really (1+0.1*10/60), but closer to (1+0.1*10/75). Let's use Lucrezia's parse for example. Overall raid DPS = 3004.03 DPS. http://a.pomf.se/wsakcx.png

3004.03 = 0.983 = 2952.96149. It's 51 overall raid DPS in this situation with TA, approximately.

And here's some videos of really good Dragoon runs:

I believe it's Dawiesm who has some really high 550-590+ DPS parses on T10 and T11 somewhere in this thread as well.

I'm not saying that the Bard and Black Mage are weak in comparison. Not at all. My BLM is a monster. Aikaal is proof of what BLMs can achieve in FCoB. However, what I posted is what Dragoons should be achieving in Turn 10-11. If your Dragoon isn't pulling numbers close to what I posted, then he/she's clearly doing something wrong.

If I could be bothered, I'd find more numbers.

Do you have any videos of your raids with your Dragoon, Sleigh? It would be interesting to analyse what he/she is doing and maybe give some tips. I guarantee if the strategies you use are Melee friendly, then there's definitely room for improvement.
