How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Dualgunner]

I guess the setup is more of a personal thing because I can't really detect the rhyme and reason of yours lol. I see the idea of keeping all your basic attacks up on the face buttons (and thanks for the tip about the R1--I'll keep that lol), which is also what I do. The way I have my keys set up though is so I can facilitate the opening combo simply and keep the attacks up, by streamlining my buttons.

The only macro I really have up there is my F&C and WT macro, since I don't usually need to macro those kinds of things lol.

I moved some things around so I can try and keep WT and F&C off macro, but so far its slowing me down lol. I'll keep practicing it though.

Just tried A1 Normal with some of your tips @JackFross and managed 1035.67 dps according to my friend's parser. On a random dummy I now do 1210.30 dps ^w^ Still practicing though, but thanks for your help so far.

Quick question: Whats the DPS range I should be hitting at ilv182 with a Hive Weapon? I'm hitting around 1100 to 1150 on a dummy without food/party buffs.

@Shin: sounds like you're on par. Might be able to push for 1200.

@Ninjah: forgot to mention it before. the video is set to private, so nobody can watch it to help you.

@Dual: Nice! Glad I could help! Keep up the good work!

It should be fine now, thanks for the headsup!

Aside from missing that re-up of BotD at one point, it looks pretty good to me. A couple things to note is that your GCD is slow. If you rewatch the opening, most of your GCDs are delayed quite a lot, either due to the way you're pressing buttons or latency or what have you, they're slow. That's a big thing, especially as of 3.0. You might be able to pull off the 2 gsk per b4b at your SS and could just be missing it due to GCD lag on your end.

Yeah I noticed, the lag(120ms)/2.42 gcd atm is killing me and making me go nuts lmao. I'm mashing buttons asap to get them activated as fast as they can :C

I'd upload a 3 minute video of myself... But my upload speed won't let me, guess I'll just have to watch someone else's vid and learn from there

After some practice, this is my rotation:

I've always used BoTD before chaos thrust and I see in your opener it was changed from that to now used before diembowel. What difference does that make?
