How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[MercuryD]

Is life surged jump really that common? I only ever did that as a fresh 50...

[ColdestHeaven]

Life surged Jump wasn't really common after DRG buff, because Full Thrust was stronger than Buffed Jump (in 2.0 Full Thrust and Buffed Jump were on the same level, though).

[Thendiel]

It wasn't standard DRG practice, no, but with the boost to Jump damage under Blood of the Dragon, it might have become optimum or at least a close call.

possible dps increase for fracture with skillspeed change and if we can't figure out a way to not clip ct/ph so much?

If we're using HT -> ID-Dis-CT-F&C -> Phleb -> TT-VT-FT-WhT -> (repeat), then it's already going to require a 2.3-second GCD or less to maintain 100% HT and Phlebotomize uptime. That makes me think that we wouldn't want to use Fracture as filler; doing so would cause HT and Phleb to wear off periodically.

In the spirit of saving space on a cross-bar, since WT and FC both have restrictions to activate it (BotD and Enhanced WT or Sharper FC), can't we put both in a macro and if the conditions for WT are met, it'll fire off WT and vice versa?

never macro gcds

I'm not talking about macroing those skills along with another skill though. I'm talking about macroing WT and FC to the same button. If I remember how macros worked (like you said, as a DRG macros really don't work with our purpose since it slows it down) doing something like:

/ac FirstSkill
/ac SecondSkill

Will activate FirstSkill if its conditions are met. If not (like if its still on the cooldown), it will kick off SecondSkill. Under that assumption, since you'll always use one or the other of WT or FC and since they have tight restrictions (having Enhanced WT active means having Sharper FC not active), I don't see why you can't macro the two commands together.

[Mibhas]

It's still a macro, so the same issues come up.

[PROBOUND]

I don't see why you can't macro the two commands together.

Long story short. Clipping due to macro latency. Even though the first skill is on CD it still checks for it first.
