Advice for Dragoons in O5S?

[Luin]

I was told that I would have to be hitting 5k to be considered good. Do you think it would be a good idea to save B4B solely for Nastronds? Speaking of nastronds, I think I do have three on hand whenever I use them. It's just a matter of can I use them? The second time I proc nastrond I can only really use one (maybe two) due to head on.

It would help to know which Head On specifically but without knowing I'd say you should just hold it.

As for saving B4B for Nastrond, that's a bit reversed, you should be saving Nastrond for B4B, at least the 1st.

Basically you delay your 1st Life by 30s so you exit your 1st Life with 3 Eyes into your 2nd Life right after. The guide explains it better than I can.

And as I said 4.6 is really low. I didn't say it was good dps, I said you could clear with it. o5s's add phase has a lot of room for padding if you save nastrond and dragonfire for it. This is why just looking at numbers from a log isnt going to help.

(Edit: Made it sound like I'm saying to not Nastrond/DFD during adds. You should *definitely* do that, the adds need to die to progress. I'm just saying that if you havent optimized for that, you can be several hundred DPS behind another DRG from that error alone).
