How To: Maximize Your DPS as Dragoon

[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.

Funny thing is, no DRG is going to use the rotation in this thread ever, EVER. Except for the OP.

This thread gave me a good chuckle. 6/10

I tried it and got +20 / 30 dps than any other rotation mentionned in A dragoon reborn thread. On the other hand Im kinda a scrub one havin like 280 dps with 3 items lvl 90 ... and you re supposed to have 270 dps with full DL (when it was 230 - 240 average for everyone not so long ago) so yeah, I'm kinda confused / lost.

Should I reach the 300 dps treshold with lvl 90 head + gloves + chest and relic +1 ? tried the supposedly best rotation from EasymodeX on a dummy and it was 20 / 30 dps less average than that one

Actually you should read and watch the video better, HT is up all the time.

Other than that, I don't think its her full rotation because on the long term you ll have some problems like Easymode mentionned, spent some hours yesterday at doin it "perfectly" right (correcting what have to be corrected) and I noticed you will all the time have a jump available when you have to repeat the 2nd TTT and another one when you have to do ID only, added to the fact that you ll always have HT + sweep combo if you keep a perfect timing, which is pretty nice.

The only downpart is that at some point you dont have the choice to continue a CT that isn't anymore under HT buff.

So yeah, I don't know but my dps raised with that and I'm not trolling. Help me, lol

And were you including Dragonfire Dive and Spineshatter Dive into your rotation when doing the EasymodeX rotation? Because he doesn't list it specifically in it while Longnu does. I can put that in myself in Easymodes rotation and easily get numbers better than Longnu's.

[Sygmaelle]

Yeah I was, includin the first jump and D. Dive when BfB and Ir were up, while the stun jump was beein used only with IR (because well, BfB faded)

I think it is good that there are some people willing to share their dragoon rotation at least for new dragoons to use them firstly as reference and later think on their own of their best rotation

For me rotations are still very dependable on the situation, if your tanker loves to dance and prance around, I don't think that you are even able to start off with a HT or ID cause those two moves practically need a 1 second stationary enemy to execute them.

[Sygmaelle]

Well, in case I'm misunderstood : I have no problems breaking the 300 dps barrier in a pure burst sequence with LongNu's rotation and it make sense since that the numbers are just higher in her order.

On the other hand, Easymode's one is better on a long run but lower for a burst

What a massive amount of failing in opening post. Getting so sick of parser people. The parser has known issues with dots. Fracture and CT weak? It's because of parsers that there are now long queues for the failtrain.

Stop using parsers till there is one that actually works and even then, parsers make players bad cause they only focus on damage and stop avoiding stuff.
