dragoon's damage on titan

[Casterbridge]

7. Edit: Oh, this is more along the lines of basics, but be sure you are using Jump as often as is feasible for your comfort, and be sure to use Leg Sweep as soon as it's up. Leg Sweep is worth about 6% of a Dragoon's total DPS.

I had no clue Leg Sweep was worth that much, I do try and use it but certainly not to the degree I should be, I'll have to work on firing it off more.

Respectful snip

I still have much to learn. As of yesterday, in a Titan fight, I learned to position myself to my advantage in the X-bomb pattern. Now, the Disembowel on the Gaols is something I haven't done. Everything else I've always tried to do. I actually haven't seen the parser numbers from that fight, but 170 DPS with Garuda weapon and AK gear shows me I still have much to improve upon.

Edit: Thinking about it, I notice I do not use DFD as often as I should, and I do not use BFB often either. It is probably because his stops tend to reach a point where taking extra damage feels suicidal to me. Though using BFB after his stomps may be the way to go. Hmm.

Hm...... after I saw all people dps r so far ahead of me n I have better gears kinda butt hurted me.
I keep using leg sweep asap n jump when the time is right. I didnt keep up all the buff n dot. I just TTT.
N only at 154 is really bad. Either they iied to me about the parser or I sux so bad. Gotta d.l it myself for next fight.

DFD is a really small total DPS increase. Not worth focusing on unless you can. Also useful to save as a gap-closer. Only place to optimize it would be if the person who gets gaol'd runs into melee at the boss. DFD's good to drop there.

In terms of stomps, yeah during the last phase hold it until after he stomps. Everything else is avoidable. If you mis-time it, you can right-click the buff to remove it early.

Using Jumps in Titan seems rather dubious to me, personally I never use them in my average rotation as the damage output vs the time required for the action animation to take place (not to mention the position lock which can easily mean game over for you in Titan) just doesn't seem worth it, aside from being a gap closer, and I can't imagine you being that far from Titan to begin with as the arena is progressively smaller, I just don't see it being worth it in this fight...

If you Jump (and use Power Surge before in preparation) right after dodging plumes, you are usually (if not always) safe, at least in my experience. It is definitely something you have to become comfortable with. As for Plumes (or Weight of the Land), he tends to do it after his Landslides--regardless of what phase he is in. Sometimes it is immediately after, other times he may stick Stomps in between, but, if Titan Landslides, Plumes is not far away.

[EasymodeX]

You can Jump during landslide, during plumes, during certain bombs, during tumult.

Just make sure you do it immediately after you identify the mechanic (and dodge it). This is a case where it doesn't matter that you optimize the jump after Chaos Thrust or any specific attack for example -- if you're doing a Vorpal and plumes land, use it as you step out of the plumes (or wait for later if your gut tells you so, w/e).

Jumping in Titan just comes mostly down to experience and confidence, shrug.

On that note I'd say put your balls forward as long as some other DPS is dying more than you are .

I suppose confidence is the key.

Neat! Thanks for the video. And now to study.

My pleasure. I plan on making more DRG videos for educational and entertainment purposes. Especially when PvP comes out. GL and have fun.
