How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Dervy]

Yup. You got the rotation on lock. However you still need to pop a Draconian pot somewhere, preferably after Impulse Drive.

If you move your oCDs up one place and fit the Potion where you'd have BL+LSw, it would also work. Also, try get into the habit of using GK after your combo, as you'll never know what could happen with how latency works. Shifting everything up will fix it though.

And Aiurily parses nearly 1.2k if I remember correctly, with food + pots and everything. He bursted 2k as well... so there's that.

Random thought. I have no idea what the summoner rotation looks like but if involves casting tri-whatever in the beginning of the fight, would it be wise to use BL prepull as shield lob's going out?

[Nominous]

Lol. Since you can't Life Surge Jump, I just did Life Surge+Jump>Fullthrust, it doesn't expend it until you actually hit a weaponskill :P! Probably something everyone could assume but yeah.

My biggest gripe is how dots don't line up, if the added 2-4 on dis and ct if be a happy camper

You need to clip combo 1 (idc4) now instead of doing another combo 2 (ttt4). So previously it was 122122122, now it's 12121212

Ok there's a lot of rotation flying around. I haven't gotten to my drg yet due to work and mnk is my main and drg is my 2nd best. So what is te optimal burst rotation so this way I can start praticing and start figuring out skill slot on my hot bar.

HT - [BFB + BL] - ID - [DRAC POT] - DIS - [BOTD + IR] - CT - [PS + LEGS] - 4TH - [JUMP] - PH - [SPD] - TT - [DFD] - VP - [LS + GK] - TT - 4TH

Ones bolded are mandatory. Rest are optional/how you want to play it, but above is the most recommended by myself, Aiurily and Thendiel (Or a slight variation of this)

I personally use GK after my 4th combo, rather than Jump however.

Ty dervy I trust ur work and ur followers. Also is drac pot=str pot?

[Butcherboy]

HT - [BFB + BL] - ID - [DRAC POT] - DIS - [BOTD + IR] - CT - [PS + LEGS] - 4TH - [JUMP] - TT - [DFD] - VP - [LS + GK] - TT - [SPD]

Ones bolded are mandatory. Rest are optional/how you want to play it, but above is the most recommended by myself, Aiurily and Thendiel (Or a slight variation of this)

Do u use the 4th also after spd? It wasn't mention just wondering

[Dervy]

Of course Why wouldn't you? haha

Also for any of you wondering how SS scales with GCD, it's now 0.00037735 per point of SS. So you can do 2.5-((SS-354)*0.00037735)) to calculate your GCD. Alternatively, you can do this formula 2.5-(0.01*(SS-354)/26.5)) which should do the exact same thing, just a bit more accurately.

Dunno how optimal it is since it hasnt been a week yet but my rottation goes like this:
HT>(IR+BFB)>ID>(BL+LSw)>Dis>(BotD+power surge)>CT>(geirk)>Proc Move>(Jump)>Phleb>(DFD)>TT>(SSD)>VT>(LS)>FT>Proc

then HT>FT combo> Proc > Phleb > CT combo > proc while weaving in OGCDS as they come up.

If you use BotD after the second move of any combo you can geirk before hitting your positional. If I see BotD above 22 seconds i geirk and still keep my BotD up. If im I've finished the second move of CT or FT combo and there's less than 15 seconds on BotD and the buff is up, i use it, then finish combo, geirk, positional proc.

At i179 i can comfortably parse above 1k. I havent dont any real raiding or any real dummy parses with optimal food, pots, pt buff so dunno how much better it can get.

I'll be on later tonight if you wanna test some stuff.
