How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Startropic]

I have a slight gear dilemma. I have 4 pieces of Alex gear now (Ring, Boots, Belt, and Gloves after tonight's maintenance) My SS is going to no way be near 590 with any food, so what should my rotation look like now with less SS? Or should I wait until I get more Alex with SS? Without gloves and belt (180 Law ones on instead) and roast canard I'm at 592 or so.

Alex savage will more and likely be party finder for me as I don't have a static so waiting for gear isn't too big a problem. Thanks.

Delirium is only INT Down. Doesn't bring Blunt down as well.

If you dont have a monk, you wont need blunt down.

...well i guess ifrit egi likes it.

ifrit deals magic damage now, that was changed in the massive pet overhaul that was 3.0

SMN book smacks and BLM rod smacks are blunt.

SMN book smacks and BLM rod smacks are blunt.

But they scale off STR, which means the damage has not increased since level 1. Which means previously while they were perhaps a 5% dps increase on a short fight with massive Ruin II spam they are now not even close to 1% of your total damage, and probably can be abandoned entirely.

I still smack for 89 damage while my festers are 2.5k.

Prototype Gordian Wristband of Slaying should be your priority because of the +36 Skill Speed on it. I just checked the stats on Prototype Gordian Breeches of Maiming and probably they're going to be useful until you get the body.

hi, my ilvl is 180 and i checked my dps is 1623 for 2 continuous cycles of rotation without using potions and ir(cuz i don't have it), is it normal or is it relatively low? cuz i have heard that some people are doing 2500

Don't use you DRG again until you get Internal Release.

should put in the rotation of shame for dragoons in as well.

for me the rotation of shame at the moment seems to be

HT->IDC->Phleb->TTT->TTT repeat

[Dervy]

"Rotation of Shame". I like it...

Aaand thank you. You reminded me that I forgot to add something onto the OP before I flew. But yeah, that is the mathematically superior rotation if you don't have BOTD.
