How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Faltrask]

Sad thing most of (dungeon)boss mechanics tend to make you refrain from using Geirskogul, because they often dash around the map, or disappear or other stuff.. you can't really rely on these things, let's see what happens when they upload Alexander xD, it's probably gonna be mannequin time again!

Get used to it. It took me 2-3 hours of dummy practice, then testing it a few dungeons. Takes a day at most to get used to the new rotation. It isn't hard. Set up something like this:

[Saruhada]

All job won 5 new skill.
Dragoon won 5 skills but both of them has 50% of proc with same effect and power... so we win only 4 complete skills.

Just had a brainfart that I would get ya'lls opinion on... what if for our Procs (Fang & Wheeling) we had one macro that did:

/ac Fang
/ac Wheel

This is similar to what I did with Bard for Heavy shot/ Bloodletter/ Misery's end. It will execute which ever skill is available with next to no down time, will also help save space on your hotbar and having to figure out which one to hit.

**NVM see above post**

I'm just against macroing DPS skills in general because of the non-queuing issue.

You can use the macro and still hit every positional, you'll just have to have a hotbar (I call it the "CD bar") where you place wheeling and fang/claw. Whichever one lights up is the one you need to position for.

Though tbh it makes MUCH more sense if Chaos Thrust always procced Wheeling (since CT is rear) and Full thrust always procced Fang/Claw.

Positionals are one thing but random positionals are quite stupid.

Another possiblity is for it to alternate between wheeling and fang/claw, so you can prepare for the positional.

I tried to adjust my binds from 50 to 60 and I just feel so awkward now.

Anyone willing to post their UI and binds for a keyboard and mouse user? Even with my Naga Hex I feel awkward.

I think the problem I'm having is finding a spot for our two 4th's and Gsk. I usually set up my binds like:

Alt1-Alt4: CT Combo
1-4: Full Thrust Combo

The 5th and 6th required key for Fang/Wheeling and GSK just doesn't feel natural. I currently have them on 1 and Alt 1 on my Naga, and 2 on my Naga for GSK, but I'd like to find a spot on my keyboard that feels natural for such an important part of the combo.

EDIT: Also, Panabearcat is a Eisenhorn/Ravenor fan and that is awesome. The Emperor Protects.

I have a G600. Here are my keybinds.

The center 8 skills:
1-2-3-4
Alt+1-2-3-4

The 3x4 on the Left are 12 random buttons. They're stuff like Shift+*, Shift+@, etc. Shift+6/7/8/9

The 3x4 on the Right are ctrl + the 12 random buttons.

All of the 3x4 layouts however are all button keys, so I'm not stretching my hand across my keyboard. I just didn't know wha to bind them as, and I never wanted them to interfere with my other buttons. It's so simple and easy to remember with a g600, as I organised my hotbar layout to reflect the 12 buttons on my mouse.

My oCD ability layout is slightly different now, but the actual hotbar slots still keep the same keybinds. I also put BotD in the middle of the enlarged WT+ FC.

That looks amazing, I'd seen it earlier in the thread, but I thought it might be for a game pad. It's not possible to export this is it? I'd dearly love that, otherwise I'll have to try and set it up from the picture lol.

Thank you in advance.

i use 123 for FT, 45V for CT (yeah..) and F1/F2 for F&C/WT
