How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[whiskeybravo]

Dervy when do you pop it after the opener? I pop mine (the next time it's off cd) at CT is this the optimal place?

There's also a chart in the OP, I assume it's still valid:

In this chart, we can see all of the optimal places to use Blood for Blood. In order of highest PPS, you should use BFB before this skill:

1) Vorpal Thrust
2) Impulse Drive
3) Disembowel
4) Full Thrust
5) Chaos Thrust

Popping it before CT would be better, at least for me it usually comes off cd between CT-4th, so I hold it and pop between 4th-Phleb, which according to Dervy's math is the optimal place at that point in time

Yea that's weird how it showed animation for BL but didn't give you the buff or go on cd. What's your skill speed at out of curiosity? Def seems like a latency issue tho, especially with BL acting weird

Skill Speed at 595, Recast is 2.41s.

Man, I'd hate it if it's really latency issue.

[Dervy]

Alright, here's me trying to double-weave oGCDs.

It's hard for me to do it, still not sure whether it's latency or whatnot, or maybe it's me >_>

Ichi's 30 Seconds into Adv. Dragoon Opener.

Things to note:
1. Did not use any kind of potions, in the real deal, I will, though.
2. Disembowel is clipped for a bit.
3. GK usage isn't as smooth as the one in Dervy's.
4. Battle Litany isn't in effect, despite the animation is already in motion.

I hope you guys can help me find the cause!

Latency.

Hopefully this helps you.

[Greyfrost]

Well, I'm already using wtfast, even in that recording, I guess it's a lost cause

Thanks for helping!

Check out the other link I sent. Leatrix Latency Fix. I swear by it. Whenever I do a fresh OS installation, its the first thing I do, haha.

[Greyfrost]

Will do, Dervy! Thank you very much.

has anyone ever had problem of doing botd-> 3rd combo but then didnt get the 4th combo?

[Ilyanat]

Yeah, tends to happen if I'm lagging. Generally it doesn't happen unless my internet is having a laugh.

Are there any other sites like Ariyala? For some reason my work decided to block it as "Adult/mature content".

Remove the ffxiv before http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/ and that's probably why

So what are normal DPS so far for Dragoons in A1S and A2S? My group beat A2S and I think I did around 1400 ( used no AoE besides holding GK for a couple seconds then blowing it off completely )

A1 numbers vary quite a bit due to groups killing the boss before vs after the third jump, which makes about a 150 dps difference. A2 I personally pull 300-400 depending on how quickly I get out of the walker near the end, and I'm pretty sure putting the DRG in there is fairly common, so I expect similar results from others.
