Let's talk about the upcoming DRG rework...

[HikariKurosawa]

You can play dragoon perfectly with correct SkS and it will still drift over time as is because of the nature of the cooldowns. The changes are good and the job needed fixing. They thought it needed a total overhaul, instead it just needed to be polished. These changes are going to be amazing and the burst windows will be more consistently satisfying on top of probably having more oGCDs to press. Just less annoying cooldown drift avoidance, more oGCD weaving.

We have 3 nastrond on 2 sec cooldowns every minute, dragonfire dive has falloff, but is increased to 500 potency first target and has a followup oGCD with 550 potency first target and the same falloff so that's just a massive increase to single target potency and also an increase to AoE potency. High jump and mirage dive can be enjoyed for what they are now instead of being tied to a mechanic that is largely annoying because of how misaligned it makes our burst window in dungeon content + how it destroys our opener in raid or trial content. Stardiver has a followup oGCD, and we are strongly encouraged to fit all of this within our 20 second LotD window because of the 15% damage increase(no more giving away 5% potency, we get it to ourselves and don't have to weave it in anymore so we can weave more damage oGCD instead). Don't have to worry about spineshatter dive and its weakness being weaved twice into burst windows, on top of getting a proper mobility tool in its place.

This is 11 oGCD damage abilities including life surge that we should be weaving into our burst windows. Every one aside from life surge is just pure damage and pure dragoon. Currently we weave 7 and one nastrond will not be under buffs. We still enter LotD every minute, we will just no longer experience drift under optimal play. This is good.
