Dragoon Rework

[Petite]

As for your suggestions on how to improve SSD and DFD, you say it yourself that it would be too punishing. You cannot tie reactive defensives to damage in this game because then you get a plethora of problems and degenerate gameplay.

Piercing Talon cannot generate a scale directly per cast, as otherwise we'd again run into degenerate gameplay. The average potency of a DRG's GCD is 363 at level 90 without Power Surge. PT giving a scale would mean that you get 300 + 420 after every two uses of the weaponskill or 360 per GCD, thus making it quite viable to just spam it.

Reevaluating my previous « Blackest Night » proposition from my last post I think I worked out a much better system.

If I remember correctly, our rotation drifts forward by two GCDs every 2 minutes. That leaves me with 2 GCDs to work with. That said; what if you could power-up DfD using PT?

This change would :
• Give purpose to PT so it can be used in rotation;
• Flexibility when briefly disconnected from our target as our rotation would be undisturbed;
• By having all 3 options be of roughly equal potencies we could choose if we want to speed up our GCD rotation (no PT) keep it the same (1 PT) or delay it (2 PT) to adjust to our buffs coming back up.

Here would be the changes needed to make this system work. Keep in mind, the potencies are roughtly thought up and not mathed out. This is just to expain how the system would work.

Piercing talon :
Potency : 255 (increased from 150)
Grants a stack of Wuthering Flames.
*New animation please*

Dragonfire Dive :
Potency : 300 (unchanged)
At 1 stack of Wuthering Flames, DfD changes into Charged DfD.

Charged Dragonfire Dive (CDfD) :
Potency : 450
At 2 stacks of Wuthering Flames, changes into Supercharged DfD.
*CDfD has a new animation and new icon*


Supercharged Dragonfire Dive (SDfD):
Potency : 500
Additional effect : Grants 20 potency of fire-aspected damage to your next 5 weaponskills .
Consumes all stacks of Wuthering Flames.
*SDfD has a new animation and new icon*


I'm pretty satisfied with this proposed system. It's simple, easy, adds flexibility and a bit of decision-making.
