How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Aiurily]

dps? more like deaths per second

assuming phleb and ht 30s is accurate, we're gonna have awkward gcd rotations

ht at 30s will last 12 gcds after it before wearing off. ht at 20s lasted 8 gcds after it, and the rotation was set up to refresh it on the 8th gcd before it fell off.

so assuming we start with BoTD and 4th hit combo is a must it will be like this

H>(IDCF>P>TTTW)=9 gcds after HT. so either we refresh it on the 10th gcd, or this happens
H>(IDCF>P>TTTW>TTT)>W; you'll likely lose heavy thrust on the 4th hit of the full thrust combo, and then it won't be on for the HT reapplication either, so 2 gcds of HT downtime

assuming that you let HT drop off for wheeling thrust and HT refresh, you also run into another problem in that disembowel and CT will start dropping off for 2 GCDs before being reapplied

H>ID(CF>P>TTTW>TTTW>H)>ICDF>P

but then if you decide to refresh HT early at 9 gcds, you will either be forced to clip dis/ct early, or do TTTW and miss the dis/ct for more gcds.

H>ID(CF>P>TTTW>H>I)DCF>TTTW>P =clip early by about 6-7s
H>ID(CF>P>TTTW>H>TTTW)>IDCF>P =lose for 2 gcds

so, so far with a 30s ht/phleb, things look like they'll be pretty messy
