How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Sparhwk]

What stats are people pushing with Materia? I assume crit and direct hit are what we want to stack but how much skill speed do we need atm?

Go for crit/direct hit yeah, you're gonna have way too much skillspeed no worries.

Are you sure about crit? Seems like going from like 15 to 18% crit isn't that big of a deal. Anyone test det yet?

Hey guys, I just finished leveling my DRG yesterday and recorded 2 videos of how the rotation should be in my opinion, dummy scenarios ofc. I'm pretty confidence to say there is little more to optimize but if you see anything that could be handled better, please don't hesitate and quote me!

DRG 4.0 Rotation
DRG 4.0 Rotation Delying SSD

The second one delays 2nd and 3th SSD in order to make it enter in the 2nd B4B and later on to make his Mirage Dive to enter in the 3th B4B window.

In the first one the 3th SSD and his Mirage is buffed with Dragon Sight instead of B4B and the 2nd SSD isn't buffed at all, but no need to delay SSD.

Sorry for my english, tried my best to explain myself <3

You're using geirskogul way too late in the opener, you should use it first before any jumps.

I've tried both late and early geirskogul, and it doesn't change anything for me. Both come close to 4000DPS +/- 100 depending on crit

On a dummy you might, on an actual fight, it might delay your Lotd/B4B.C

It doesn't change anything (for me), B4B always line up with LotD and buff 2 Nastrond + 2 Mirage Dive + 1 jump

What should DRG DPS be on average at 310 ilvl on Lakshmi? I have been neck and neck with my MNK at 2.6k - 2.7k on full fight clears. Then I look at RDM / MCH and they are around 3.2k / 2.9k or so respectively. Same ilvl.

Did DRG and MNK get hit that hard? I've been DRG and clearing relevant content since ARR but I've never struggled so much in terms of DPS.

P.D. I am mostly going fot crit or direct hit if I can on my melds. Thanks for any advice, I'm just a little worried since I love my class.

Guys whats the new rotation for drg? I am trying to build eyes and fire of Nastronds/GK as much as I can yet while retaining the 3.X rotation but my dps sucks. So if any of you had a pic/vid with the rotation that'd be nice, ty!
