How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Aiurily]

So, are you convinced that the potion should go before Chaos Thrust, Aiuri? It definitely gives a better set of buffs across the beginning ~25 seconds, but at the cost of delaying the long-term Geirskogul use schedule by one full combo.

looking into this is what sold me on xpot after disembowel. not to mention it lasts for the 2nd 4th if you get fey wind too

personally i don't notice a difference with geirskogul combos actually. if i do HT>ID>xpot>dis>(ir+botd) even, my rotation for geirskogul is still the same. here's the full notation that was in my 3minute parse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7lRToC_llM) leading up to the first BoTD refresh right before a FT.


HT - (BL+BFB) - ID (BoTD+IR) - Disembowel (Pot) - CT (PS+LSW) - 4th (Jump) - PH (SSD/DFD) - TT (SSD/DFD) - VT (LS+GK) - FT - 4th
HT - ID - Disembowel (LSW) - CT - 4th - PH - TT - VT (Jump) - FT - 4th (GK)
HT - ID (LSW) - Disembowel - CT - 4th (GK) - PH - TT (Invigorate) - VT (IR+BoTD) - FT - (LS+PS) - 4th (BoTD timer - 27s)

so even with BoTD after ID (and i do botd->ir so GK benefits from ir) i still get 3 GKs before the BoTD refresh.

now, my same rotation style, but with id>xpot>dis>(ir+botd)

HT > (BL+BFB) > ID (xpot) > Disembowel (IR+BoTD) > CT (PS+LSW) > 4th (Jump) > PH (DFD/SSD) > TT (DFD/SSD) > VT (LSW+GK) > FT > 4th
HT > ID > Disembowel (LSW) > CT > 4th (GK) > PH > TT > VT (Jump) > FT > 4th (BoTD time - 16s)
HT > ID (LSW) > Disembowel > CT > 4th (GK) > PH > TT (Invigorate) > VT (IR+BoTD) > FT (LS+PS) > 4th (BoTD time - 27s)

3 gks, same amount
