How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[seekified]

At least targets like Bismarck's chitin/corona always give you the positional, quite happy with that. Ravana's Seeing is annoying, but not nearly as annoying as doing Leviathan pre-2.45. Man, that was tedious.

On a different note, I still dream of a shorter cooldown on Elusive Jump. It's always been one of my favourite skills, but running expert roulettes with i150 tanks makes it downright impossible to do my job properly without involuntarily tanking stuff.

Q: Battle Litany and Internal Release are additive, yes? Hence why we use BL first before IR? Or does it not matter and we just use BL b/c the long cooldown and the added buff to our party members?

I have a CHR of 526 atm, and I want to know if I'm dropping a +79 to CHR and then +61, or +79 and +53.

From what I remember IR is just a flat 20 percentage points increase in actual crit rate, not a 20% increase of your crit stat. BL should be the same and just go on top of one another for a total of 35%, so as you say applying BL first to make everyone love you is the way to go. Some testing to confirm this would be good though I suppose if it hasn't already been done.

M'mkay. I'd test it myself, but I'm not too keen on how to do this.

How are Dragoons parsing in Ravana Ex? Full fight, not just the increased damage one.

Why would anyone just parse Liberation/Swift Liberation/Prelude To liberation? lol

Anyway, a good i180 parse with i190 spear is 800+.

Additive.

Pop IR and check your Stats panel. If it were to affect your actual Critical Hit Rating, that value would go up.

Hello, I need to know if after finishing FT/CT you get a buff that tells you which wheeling or fang/claw to use (and if so, its name and duration) or whether it just lights up one of them like a normal combo, w/o applying a buff.

[Dervy]

You get two buffs. Either "Enhanced Wheeling Thrust" or "Sharper Fang & Claw". This buff lasts 10s and you instantly lose it upon using another Weapon Skill.

Great, just what I needed. So next release you'll be able to test for p1.aura.enhanced_wheeling_thrust and p1.aura.sharper_fang_and_claw

Randomized positionals, where we have no idea in advance where we even need to be at the end of a combo is asinine. If positionals MUST be used, and i fail to see why in the first place as no ranged, caster, or tank job has to deal with them, at least make it predictable, such as say, wheeling thrust is proc'd after chaos, and fang and claw is proc'd after full thrust.
I have to say though the biggest flaw is in how Geirskogul is designed, for something SE claimed would be our big finisher, we got a 200 potency leg sweep? It's absurdly weak for all of the build up and maintenance it requires to even use. And if you are using the rotation as many i have read advised, blood will always be on cooldown so heaven help you in any fight where the boss becomes untargetable for more than a few seconds, which most bosses i can think of do at some point or another.
