How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Ukitsu]

So i was trying again and decided to record to see how a failure is to play with high latency

Tried a lot and this is the best i could achieve. I dunno if i'm doing wrong but seems kinda foward that i should avoid 2 oGCD.

I have a question, if you already executed your CT combo without the botd buff, do you use FT combo instead this time with botd?

[SunnyHirose]

Yes. If it is time to pop BotD, it doesn't matter which combo is coming up.

This is how I have always played. Leatrix did not solve much. I know your pain.

I'd be curious to see what an ideal "high latency" rotation that uses mainly single ogcd skills would look like, and what the potency loss would be over the course of say, a 5 minute fight.

You can download the sim and find out! =D

Simply set the "blank" oGCD timer check to be very high (say 1.2 seconds) to force only using 1 oGCD per gcd. You may also want to cut down on the precasted opener which contains double oGCDs.

IIRC the sim already mostly only uses 1 ogcd per - it does use the old jump delays so actually jump may be easier to use now (no longer clip GCDs).

So if there are multiple DRG in a party, is it more potency/damage to skip the CT combo altogether (if the others are keeping up the Disembowel buff)? The FT combo would do more damage than the CT DoT, right?

[Dervy]

Do not quote me 100% and hopefully someone can either support or correct this statement of mine (I don't have my models with me), but yes, if you have another Dragoon in the party, then reverting back to a rotation similar to our old one, x1 IDC4 x2 TTT4 should be slightly more PPS.

here i was starting to think the only thing monk had going for them that dragoon didn't was that we had the option of getting someone else to use dragon kick to increase our dps... now it seems DRG has that option to, go figure.

[Mibhas]

Aye, but the gain is nowhere near the one you get from two Monks with a dedicated Dragon Kicker; it's not worth stacking multiple melee of any kind at this point, imo.
