AoE or Area of Effect Rotations for Dungeons What is your Job's AoE for Mobs

[ChaoticCrimson]

DRG's primary AoE GCD rotation is pretty dang simple (especially since for the first 39 levels you get zero options), and revolves around three skills: At lv40 you get Doom Spike, which will chain into Sonic Thrust at lv62, which ultimately chains into Coerthan Torment at lv72. For OGCDs, at lv50 you'll be able to access Dragonfire Dive, then at lv60 you'll be able to weave Geirskogul periodically as long as Blood of the Dragon is up. Starting at lv70, you'll want to be sure you're using Jump (becomes High Jump at lv74) as soon as possible to proc your Mirage Dive (learned at lv68) to build up two eyes towards Life of the Dragon. This means you'll bee lining up your Geirskogul casts for use one GCD after Jump is used, ideally double-weaving Mirage Dive first to get your eye, though if you want to be really fancy you can use MD after Geirskogul if you want to wait until buffs line up with LotD. Once you have two eyes, using Geirskogul activates your LotD mode, which at lv70 give you access to Nastrond, and ultimately Stardiver at lv80. Just like with the single-target rotation, at lv80 you should be able to fit in three Nastronds and one Stardiver per LotD phase, which together make for some nice AoE. This should be plenty of damage against regular dungeon trash mobs.

Thank you HyoMin,
That was what I was looking for here.

Ok so... basically... for Dragoon

1st-40th
Doom Spike is the only AoE you have and its a Line Attack.

40th-50th
Add Dragon Dive which is a Global Cooldown so has a longer CD.

50th-60th
Add in Geirskogul which depends on your guage filling for Blood of the Dragon.

60th-70th
At this level you finally get an AoE Combo which goes....
Doom Spike > Sonic Thrust
With Dragon Dive as a GCD and Geirskogul if your Gauge fills.


Yeah I see it takes a while for DRGs to get anything decent. It looks to be one of the few Jobs without a lot of AoE below level 60.

Correction:
There is NO Dragoon AOE UNTIL 40.

1-40 is no AOE

40-50 Doom Spike

50-60 Doom Spike + DragonFire Dive GCD

60-62 Doom Spike + Dragonfire Dive GCD +Geirskogul (Which has a GCD AND Requires Blood of the Dragon be active.)

62-70 Doom Spike + Sonic Thrust (Which Charges BOTD when active) combo. +Dragonfire Dive GCD +Geirskogul (Which has a GCD AND Requires Blood of the Dragon be active.)

70-72 Add Nastrond to the mix. Requires Life of the Dragon to be active and has a 10 second cooldown. Can get off 2-3 before LOTD goes away.

72-80 Doom Spike + Sonic Thrust+ Coerthan Torment combo (this combo charges BOTD to the max for one rotation) w/ Dragonfire Dive and Geirskgul + Nastrond.

Basic 72-80 rotation without buffs EXCEPT BOTD
BOTD>Geirskgul>High Jump>Mirage Dive> Doom Spike Combo to refill BOTD and waiting for high jump CD>High Jump>Mirage Dive>Geirskgul (this triggers LOTD)>Nastrond (10 second cool down)>DS Combo(using Nastrond once it pops)>DS combo (again if Nastrond pops USE IT) then start over.
