This guide has been an invaluable read and one I constantly have open in a tab.

In some of the content I just started doing as a 50 dragoon I find myself competing with the other DPS and often winning. Blows me away when I inspect them to find they are probably average ilvl 120 in gear while i'm pushing only ilvl 80, of course some just demolish me but that isn't very common.

The rotation and openers is still something i'm mastering, but when I do a boss fight with a flawless rotation it's a great feeling and it's a substantial increase over when I mess up and stutter the combo's incorrectly.
