How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Ninjah2r]

Can someone give me any tips/feedbacks on my rotation?

I'm trying to improve with the tips I got back in Dervy's topic, but I can't seem to break that stupid 1300 dps mark. currently at ilvl194 with every i200 leftside except for the belt that is.

DRG rotation isn't that hard on a dummy - there's not too much more you can be doing.
Not all your gear is optimal either, some people will also parse using food/pots/party buff any of these would probably put you over 1.3k

Yeah true that, but Dervy said that 1300 should be doable on 193 and you should aim for 1320+ on i195 (without all the buffs and stuff) but I can't really break the damn thing. Funny thing is, whenever I parse with the partybuff, my dps stays the same which I find very very weird. So either I am fucking up bigtime, or I just can't do anything about that latency issue with blood (2 GK per 1 b4b is very difficult on eu servers :c)

A few observations:

• If you're going with a non-potion opener, use IR+BotD before Chaos Thrust, rather than before Disembowel, to give yourself more Geirskogul flexibility. That said, this won't ultimately affect your DPS.
• At about 1:25, you use Geirskogul + Spineshatter Dive between GCDs. This eats past your GCD timer very substantially, and it actually ends up costing you a BFB-buffed Geirskogul, as well.
• You could have used Life Surge before Fang and Claw at the 2:02 mark. On the other hand, you wouldn't normally pair Life Surge with that particular 4th combo hit in the rotation--that's another consequence of the GK+SSD delay at 1:25.
• You hold off on Leg Sweep from about 2:05 to 2:22, which is a pretty huge delay. You had plenty of opportunities to use the skill. While Leg Sweep is pretty low-potency, it's actually a very substantial source of DPS output overall, given how frequently it can be used.
• At about 2:50, you use Phlebotomize instead of Heavy Thrust. That's going to result in a pretty huge DPS loss.

Hope that helps.

Alright, thanks I'll work on it a bit more, and will let you guys know with the progress that I'm making. It just seems so easy when either you or dervy parse for 1300 dps at like i193, but it's quite annoying when you're just not breaking that mark there XD

Thanks for replying guys

It worked somehow, thanks guys XD

Got 1308 at 3:01 now. ty!
