How To: Maximize Your DPS as Dragoon

[Eclips]

in love with longu

Uh oh, now we're getting somewhere. You said you believe her because you saw how she did her rotation, and compared it to the other rotation? What a novel idea?! I don't know why someone who is trying to say her rotation is better didn't think to compare it to another!

I don't know if you guys understand the point of trolling, but its to make other people look stupid, not yourselves. You've ruined whatever reputation you may have had on these forums, and I think most people generally agree that not only are you wrong, you're most likely inbred. Please, for the love of god, listen to the countless people trying to tell you that you simply aren't making any kind of sense in the realm of objective discussion. It's like you want us to believe your friend just because you think you've seen it yourself and you trust her?! Are you guys christians or something?!

Funny, I don't see anyone that's saying Longnu's rotation is crap doing this either. Blah blah burden of proof. If his/her rotation is actually better and s/he's satisfied with it, why waste time trying to get other on his/her level if they're just going to ridicule from the start?

Hell, maybe I'll give it a go after I get off work if I'm in the mood if it'll end this crap.

This is a funny thread

[EasymodeX]

Apparently the FF14 forums are insanely easy to troll.

Just to provide the same kind of "evidence" that LongNu likes to throw at us, here's some random parse of some random guy found in a random thread using the cookie cutter rotation. Circumstances of this parse are of course totally random and more details will NOT be provided. Just know that the numbers are like 60-100 DPS higher than LongNu's "evidence", so obviously his/her rotation does not yield MAX DPS, as numbers (especially from faulty parsers) never lie and cannot be shaped up in any form to benefit whatever argument you're trying to make:



Applying your own logic it's now up to you to provide further evidence of your rotation actually being better. Keep on trolling.

This is EXACTLY my point. +1

The parser does not lie. It's impossible TO lie. It's a mathematical calculation based on the data your client saves...

YOU can parse badly. YOU can do a MASSIVE amount of damage on trash...That doesn't mean it's wrong.

Last night, during coil otw to turn 1...I pulled over 700 on trash...Why? I crit practically every single hit of my rotation. Likely? Maybe a .05% chance of it EVER happening but, it did...Does that make that information wrong? No...It makes it an anomaly. That happens.

Do 100 parses lasting 5-10mins on a dummy...That's DATA. That's what you need to provide as "evidence" -- That's why stats exist.

We parse data because when combined it gives more data...Without parses and the "evidence" this thread is useless.

The opinion of "Oh, i just proved it to myself" doesn't work in the court of public opinion...You know because some people still "prove" to themselves that the earth is flat, every day.

What's up with LongNu and his/her Zabuza Fanboy? No reaction? Thought so ...

[PessimiStick]

Well, parsers do actually lie, because the combat log is shit.

[MouriceWayne]

nice guide bro! will follow this.

just a little confuse. can you explain why always use Heavy Thrust as a starter?

[Tilgung]

Read the Dragoon: A Rotation Reborn thread for your rotation needs.

You lead with, and maintain, Heavy Thrust because it gives you a 10% damage boost on all skills used for it's duration.
