How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[FreyrPrime]

So, I was getting extremely frustrated with DRG. To the point that I had begun leveling MNK. This mainly stemmed from the fact that as I got closer and closer to 179, my DPS seemed to lag considerably behind what I knew it should be based on various parses I'd seen from people at a similar gear level.

I spent hours last week trying to perfect my rotation. Yet I couldn't seen to break 750-800 dps sustained no matter how hard I tried. I'd begun to despair that maybe I just sucked at DRG.

That was until Saturday night. My static was putting together our first BIS EX run and decided to test all the DPS going since some of us were on new classes. Our NIN had been bragging all night about sustaining 1k DPS, so I wasn't particularly hopeful. We had a BRD, NIN, SMN, and myself DRG ready to go then we started the contest. We parsed for about 3 1/2 minutes and when the dust settled they read off the rankings.

1100 DPS sustained. Guess my parser is broken >.<

If you've changed some filtering settings in ACT or altered the DoT tracking that can happen. 1100 sustained is pretty much where we want to be at this point so nice one!
