How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Dacen_Drg]

I can't get my finger on it but, to me, stormblood killed DRG, the changes on it made it sluggish as hell.
DRG still hit hard but juggling with jump/gs/spine for LoTD feel super bad and not as enjoyable and rhythmic as BoTD/GS before.

My issue, and some of this might be just not having done the fights enough yet, is that there are a lot where there is too much down time to keep blood going because the boss goes invuln right before using WT/FC, which then of course means I drop the eye stacks. Again I probably need to adjust, but its still kind of annoying, feels like we have SMN's 3.0 issue

The only thing that irks me is the stupid amount of skill speed we have. We are in the limbo of too much skill speed for the perfect rota, and too little for the next perfect rota x'D

Gotta wait for the Raid because again they thought it was a good idea to put SkillSpeed on the huge majority of Tomestone gear...

The worst offender is probably the last fight of a lvl 70 dungeon where gold is involved. (Don't want to spoil too much )

Snip

I agree to both things you said. While waiting is necessary I'm afraid we are going to get shafted and stuff with gear.
And the gold phases in that fight... my gosh I would kill whoever thought of it, at least the second time around you can keep botd and start a kind of opener with Nastrond but still.

Also I'm still waiting on square to release at least a glamour for Estinien's Gae Bolg. I want it, I want to be the edgiest dragoon in town.

Also any dragoon that have done Susano without heavy card balance let me know some numbers? I have a ninja friend who is curious on melee numbers and comparing with him.

Did one with a ninja double astro (hardly any single balances if party ones) and landed with 3490 although I lost 70 dps due to the stun mechanic.

Any DRG 4.0 rotations out? Specifically need an opener since I just returned in the end of heavensward and had to learn that one only for it to be gone now.

That is exactly the dungeon I was referring to lol.
