How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Jonnycbad]

Guys, why are you all still mere lancers? Time to become a Dragoon

On topic, we still have to see how much off a boost other jobs get. The casters look to get a significant dps increase with all their new stuff, Bard (and MCH) will dps harder too with its caster stance.
Now when it comes to MNK and NIN its hard to tell. MNK doesnt seem to get its ceiling raised much outside of a 220 pot 30s off GCD but then again he seems to benefit a lot from the system changes. NIN doesnt seem to get too much of an increase either but then again NIN is pretty badass right now, so that might be some sort of re-balancing.

Isn't mnk getting a hadouken that consumes their chakras and is 400 potency or something? Also isn't one of NIN's new abilities an oGCD that doubles the potency of their next weapon skill?

The hadouken is the 220 pot off GCD called elixir field, the skill that consumes their stacks is tornado kick for 330 pot and the chakra skill's potency is not known yet. Both tornado kick and forbidden chakra wont be used frequently in their rotation because they require downtime. Leaving only elixier field as part of their new rotation.
As far as the nin goes the wording of duality is weird, it might actually just give 100 extra pot because it doesnt benefit from combo-bonuses.

Worst case, if that reading is correct, Spinning Edge is still 150 potency, so you would use it there. Of course, if that reading is correct then Duality would be worse than Mug, so. . .

The skill ninja is getting is pretty lackluster based on speculation right now. No one knows for sure. The biggest dps increase for nin is decreasing the number of 3 step mudra casts of huton.
