How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[MercuryD]

One of my biggest questions is: "Where do I stick all those new skills so that I'll have no trouble including them in a rotation fluidly?"

I'm pretty sure that by now DRGs are at least close to being as difficult to play as Monks, even if just because of the sheer volume of buttons we need to press, while they only get some quality of life improvements while their rotation stays pretty much the same.

Also: What do you mean by "Too much DPS"? The change doesn't look -that- big, and it was bout time DRGs ascend from being "sorta-okay-melee-DPS"

I agree on the buttons. My xhotbar is filled already...

Again, this is all just theory and we'll have to see the actual numbers when we get in-game. But if this is all correct... Dragoon is one scary Job.

Well, that's actually surprisingly comfortable - the way our current rotation works it still takes three full rotations to get DFD back to where it was at the beginning and four rotations to get BFB back to being available after the second GCD where it is the first time around. This will be similar and looks quite fun to do.

Increasing PPS by that amount while changing nothing else is quite impressive, really. Scaled with gear, this'll become quite insane. I have to say I think DRGs are much more than "sorta-okay" at the moment either though, if played correctly, but then I am biased.

As for the crossbar issue, personally I already jump between three different bars to execute everything I have in a rotation, plus potions and Limit Break. That RB + A/B/X/Y motion has become very practiced these past two years. Yoshi did say he's got a plan though.
