How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[JackFross]

I see, thanks. Do you apply the Chaos Thrust combo on the add as well? Or are you just using HT -> double TTT combo on it?
We have a Ninja by the way, we just take turns on who will do the second melee cage since it's a pretty big DPS loss for both of us.

Ah, that's fair.

With no positionals since all frontal, the two combos you're looking at are:

HT>IDC4>P>TTT[pop]
100+180+220+(200+200+170+150+200+360)x1.1 = 1908
And:
HT>TTT4>P>TTT[pop]
100+150+200+360+200+170+150+200+360 = 1890

It averages out to be about the same, but the Disembowel also buffs up your PS+Jump, Leg Sweep, and Mercy Stroke (and geirskogul) and CT will tick about 3 times for an additional 105 potency, so I tend to use the CT one, but either is really just fine. One just gives you a bit of an extra edge over the other. I ignored HT and DoTs since that's identical between both.

(You use Phlebotomize because the 4th hit will be 200 potency and Phleb is 170+ticks - 1 tick bumps it over 200)

Just wanted to make a note on this, you *can* actually hit positionals on it. What you do is stand in the center of the add, then *right* as you're about to hit the ability that has a positional, you juke over to that side and then stay there (so as not to miss any autoattacks). Every now and then it won't register due to going a tad early, but I have a pretty high success rate with it. I know there's a video from a DRG PoV somewhere out there that shows it, so I'll try and dig for it.

I usually don't bother for the initial Heavy Thrust, since I'm attempting to start attacking immediately, but I admit that it may not be optimal to do that.

It can be a helpful technique for anyone just missing it though
