How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Jonnycbad]

Losing BoTD to Invincible/Knockback/Dash is so annoying...forget missing positionals on WT/FC. The absolute worst is when you have like 13 seconds duration left on BoTD and you just did True Thrust, and you see mechanics go off but there's like 40 seconds left on BoTD cool down. You have to weigh getting hit with mechanics vs keeping up BoTD and nerfing your dps for the next minute or so...of course you choose to do the mechanics, but it's a tough choice nontheless :/

What I do against bosses who instantly jump / disappear and all those kind of bs (1st and 3rd boss in Netherreap, 2nd and 3rd boss in Fractal) is that I don't use GK after I apply the 4th tier, and just use the 4th tier on any add I can find - not caring about the position just for the sake of extending BotD. That way I always kept my BotD up and having a 100% BotD uptime is just as having a 100% GL3 uptime - it's worth it.
