How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[JackFross]

What's the reasoning behind swapping BL and IR compared to the way I have it? o: Does that have IR extending a bit nicer? Or is it relating to the re-cast later on?

IR -> BL, at least for me, even with 16ms, has a huge delay. I don't get why BL -> IR is smoother than IR -> BL.

EDIT: My simulator does calculate, however, IR -> BL is 0.7DPS more, in a 3min encounter, than BL -> IR... So there's that.

Hmm I see. Thanks. I asked because I couldn't seem to notice any difference compared to Dervy's opener. My DRG kept getting either 1-2% hp left on A6S SSS dummy or a really close clear, which could probably be attributed to getting lucky crits here and there.

I just got my first A5S clear too, I got 1060-ish dps on the boss, which is kinda low. Still a lot of rooms for improvement, but at least I managed to stay up alive for the whole fight lol. Any tips to improve? (http://www.fflogs.com/reports/x7139qmZk4JQ8Tav)

wtb 230 spear pls. My group is still stuck in A6S progression. Slow start coupled with 2 days per week;;;

I'm up to 1380 with my Seph, though. D: Maybe next week.

Speaking of that, do you not get a delay on BotD > B4B? The few times I've screwed up and weaved it somehow, it felt like it delayed the GCD. Granted could have just been my garbage internet.

I've heard both sides of the holding/not holding buffs for A5S. There are a lot of variables encounter to encounter ofc but I did seem to notice higher dps when I held buffs vs saving them. I don't know though, we've only cleared it a couple times now so still working the magic I guess. Maybe once I smooth out mistakes the difference between holding them or not will be more apparent.
