How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Jonnycbad]

Inb4 new meta is using Geirskogul at exactly 30s of Blood of the Dragon (not letting it tick down to 29!), so you have a full 30s of Life of the Dragon. This allows you to nail a 4th Nastrond right as the Life of the Dragon buff falls off at 0 seconds. This will probably hurt people with bad ping but bam there's your elite skill cap: trying to do a rotation that allows for 4 Nastronds. Reminds me of the double Full Thrust rotation under Blood for Blood from 2.4 rotation but that had a 2second margin for error before Heavy Thrust/BFB dropped. This would have a split second margin for error.

I highly doubt anyone will be able to execute that.

Since DRG has 2, it makes no sense to give us a third one[/URL]

And both of these are used whenever they come off cooldown most of the time, saving them is dps loss in most cases. Also you forget Elusive Jump, the true DRG's mobility skill.

That's just impossible unless there's some sort of glitch with the tick system or animation lock. If the LotD timer starts when you cast geirskogul, then by the time geirskogul animation finishes, when you can cast your first nastrond, the LotD timer would've dropped to 29.something at the very least. Even if the timer starts after your geirskogul animation finishes, there's still the microseconds taken for your command to execute nastrond reaches the server, which can never be zero. Even if it takes 1ms to do it, you'll run out of LotD timer 1ms before you can cast your fourth nastrond.

Then again we have royal pentacles in a4s so yeah. I wouldn't bet on it though.
