How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[SunnyHirose]

Please do. The most aphoristic version, the form I like to use, is "Uptime is the best buff."

It is the ABCs of caster dps, always be casting.

Anyone else rather annoyed that the Au Ra horns clip with the AF2 chestpiece's collar? I love this chest piece and I love my Au Ra, so disappointing.

Au ra horns clip with everything but the tin can tank set, though.

Long hair clips with the collar like crazy. If they're going to keep designing chests with insanely high collars, I wish they'd add an option for an automatic ponytail when wearing them, like TERA and a couple others.

If you're a miquote/au ra, and wear the body, do you have 2 tails?

No, it replaces your tail.

Nothing incredible, but something interesting that I've found. If you are out of range for piercing talon, but within range for jump, you can jump to the target, and then throw your spear before the jump takes you back out of range.

You can do this with anything. Sometimes if I just used a GCD, and the mob is running away and SSD/DFD are down, you can use Jump to get in range, and for the 0.5seconds that your character is close (before automatically jumping back to your start point), you can use your next GCD in the combo.

Interesting, I tried it out with a few different abilities but piercing talon was the only one I was able to do it with. I'll have to do some more tests on that one.

I have definitely used Disembowel on a boss, boss dashes away, I hit jump and as soon as my character is in range, I hit chaos thrust, as my character hops back to the starting position.

Try it on a dummy. Real simple:

1) Get about 10y away
2) Use Jump
3) Attempt to use True Thrust when close.

If your timing is right, you will Trust Thrust successfully before jumping back. In practice you would use it on whatever the next appropriate GCD would be. (I wish we could use this as a way to cancel the second half of Jump's animation to make it like a SSD gap close, but alas...)
