How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Gardes]

Well, the extended XHB has been a no-go in my world because of my priorities in laying out hotbars, namely that it's 8 hotbar items I can't access using both triggers (triggers being easy-in easy-out, modally switching hotbars not so much). More details once I can provide screenshots. When I put together my 2.0 version I didn't fully explain the way I use it, figuring "less is more"... now I think it might be more important than ever to display an optimization of inputs, to provide people with more ideas for their own layouts.

Have you tried my way? /chotbar change macros? I mean, the concept was full inclusion of all single target GCDs into one set of face buttons by set change automation so that it'll change the other face buttons you aren't pressing into the next possible skill you'd want to press next. Hmm, maybe I should try go get a webm/gif of it in action to make it easier to understand. Still only have a 55 drg though, probably gonna end up just showing the old rotation...



Alright, never really bothered capturing videos and making gifs out of it so quality is poor but here it is. Disclaimer though, this is the old rotation. Since that old rotation had HT and PL alternating after every 3 hit combos, I still have to rely on set reset (I made R1 tap to send me back to set 1 instantly) because of how long it is and difficult it is to include full automation with just 3 sets. For a full rotation this happens 3 times. BUT, if the current rotation is static for HT and PL (IDC always tied to HT, TTT always tied to PL), you can set up your bar using the same style of macros to need less manual resets without losing your ability to queue actions (ignore my botd macro lol)

Edit: Uh, seems like the gif got cut off because it's too large or something. But yeah, at the end there where full thrust suddenly changed to phleb, that's when I tapped my R1 and sends me back to set 1 because I set up my FT to same slot of PL.
