How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[BalmungAzuresky]

I ran the A8S dummy using my no-potion opener and didn't optimize for 3-minutes. 1743, came within 1% of killing it with no food, no potions.

I hope that video can help you see a bit of how my buffs line up as I go through the whole thing. I screwed up Leg Sweep at the start, though, (used it after Disembowel the second time, rather than after Impulse Drive) which almost screwed me out of a Leg Sweep at the end. D:

Tried again, but no real progress, guess I am messing up somewhere :

The big thing that's standing out to me is you're letting off globals sit unused for extended periods. You definitely lost at least a leg sweep and a jump somewhere in there. Honestly your setup makes me cringe a bit. You perform the opener just fine but it seems like your bars are setup specifically for that and not the rotation itself. This is probably causing you to focus on certain parts of your bar and directing your sight away from other parts where your cooldowns are sitting ready for use.

Now I'm not about to try and claim there's some perfectly optimal way of organizing your bars, but the way I've always done it is to group my 2 combo chains in lines together, and bunch up all my off globals nearby. That way I can simply throw a glance to see whats coming up and can be used immediately. You seem to also have a bit of navigational troubles as you're moving through the bars making you lose fractions of a second here and there from not having the skill queued in time.

For those who are searching how to optimize their DPS in SSS i think i did a good job with A8S SSS, just because i have normal equipment (i223 and weapon i220 from Sephi) and for A8S SSS I had to adjust every CD.

Your Invigorate timing...

It's not an error or a fail timing, Im using it there because If I use invigorate after, when I have like 470-490 TP i go out of TP with ~5 seconds left on Duty, that is the reason of that terrible timing. Using invigorate at this time was the best fix that i found.
