How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[RachaelMarie22]

I agree, it's just the same as using a kb, find a set up that you feel comfortable with. I had a panic as i had the same xbar set up for a couple years and was sure i wouldnt be able to retrain my muscle memory. Now when i go into pre 50 stuff i keep wanting to hit my 4th combo button

All this in A B X Y
set 1: HIDC
set 2: Wheeling and fang
set 3. DTTT
set 4: Wheeling and fang

Buffs and jumps placed everywhere else I feel comfortable with (and same for all sets)

No clue where I want Geirskogul. maybe I place it on set 2 and 4 because there is space left.

Yea I agree on the controller keybinds. I mean there are few in general things, like weaponskills on the face buttons so you can move to positionals and attack at the same time. I like Jump on Triangle with TTT just because its every 30 sec, used frequently. Other stuff is like, leg sweep is a stun and it's on the same spots as my stun for war and pld, mercy stroke in same spot on all melee, I always have my self-heals on left d-pad. Invig always the same spot, etc. To each his own in regards to specifics, there are just some general things I think to keep things consistent and easy. Mainly personal preference though.

So what's everyone been getting numbers wise? At i162 - i167 on first boss of fractal, I've been averaging about 1000-1067. Wanna see how high we can go.

I wouldn't try to figure out "where" or "when" to use Geirskogul, you gotta know each fight, when mobs jump, when BotD is coming on recast, and never use it below 20-21s, so right after first B&C/Wheel, then when you're above 21s next.

What troubles me more is now that I get to refresh CT when it still has around 5-7seconds to wear off.

[OmegaStrongtan]

In a scenario where I cannot get the position for Wheeling/Fang right and BotD is still on cool down. What is the better choice?

a) suck it up and hit it with penalty.
b) skip wheeling/fang and delay my next Geirskogul.

the positional is worth 190potency. it's worth delaying your gcd slightly if it means hitting your positional.

I was going to add both the "basic opener" and your complex one to the OP today . I say yours is more complex as it requires a lot more strict timing and more intensive Geriskogul planning.

[Faltrask]

this is how i would do the starter, After that use buffs as they come, Geirskogul everytime you have more than 21s and as BotD coming on recast again on normal situations (of course):

(Battle Litany) > Internal Release > Heavy Thrust >
Power Surge > Impulse Drive > Blood for Blood >
Disembowel > Blood of the Dragon > Chaos Thrust >
Jump > Fang and Claw*Wheeling Thrust* > Dragonfire Dive >
Phlebotomize > Geirskogul > True Thrust >
Spineshatter Dive > Vorpal Thrust > Life Surge >
Full Thrust > Leg Sweep > Fang and Claw*Wheeling Thrust* >

Is there an alternative opening that doesn't involve too many oGCD compressed into one GCD? The insane skillspeed cap pulverized the already small window I had to blow two CD together and it's literally impossible for me to try and use it without the game rewinding one of the actions. Maybe it's because of server congestion, maybe it's just the same stupid old latency that held me back till now, I don't know. Am I the only one experiencing this?
