How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Thendiel]

I think that spelley's AOE approach is on-target, except that it's probably better (ideally) to flip those two stages. Start with some single-target multi-DoTing, throwing in Geirskogul when you can, and then switch over to Doom Spike spam when it seems like you have just enough TP to kill the enemies. That way, you'll get the benefit of Disembowel on some of your opponents while AOEing with Doom Spike later on, plus, your DoTs will have more time to run their course.

Seems to me that this would especially be good for 4 or 5 mobs with very large amounts of health.

Also, I'm thinking that we might drop Phlebotomize from the multi-DoTing phase in favor of combo'd Ring of Thorns, which is going to be marginally stronger and cost very little TP. So that would give us something like:

(target 1) HT - RoT - ID - Dis - CT - 4th -[GK]- ID
(target 2) Dis - CT - 4th - HT - RoT - ID
(target 3) Dis - CT - 4th -[GK]- ID
(target 4) Dis - CT - 4th - HT - RoT

...followed by Doom Spike spam and another Geirskogul or two.

That said, if the enemies are weak sauce, then we should just favor our old-school HT-RoT-DS-DS-DS-DS with one Geirskogul mixed in--particularly if we're attacking a cluster of, say, 5 enemies or more.
