How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[kyrios91]

Is it still good to use LS with CT if LS is up at that timing or just always go Full Thrust? I remember it was quite hot post 2.45 and I used it myself... but now I'm not.

Also regarding buff / debuff application... if let's say I use HT / Dis and immediately chain it with an oGCD like Jump etc. will the oGCD get buffed by the HT / Dis or not? Because I remember reading somewhere that it doesn't.... prolly I misread or something can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

No. We now use Life Surge on the nearest possible FT/WT/FC.

and it depends on the duration remaining of your buff, the animation lock and many other variables.

Are you talking about in your opener or elsewhere?

EDIT: updated thread to include The Rotation of Shame and Life Surge usage. There's something else I added, but I forgot

Hi all!

I came across this DRG rotation video by Xenosys Vex.

What are your thoughts on it?

It's the "advanced" Dragoon opener that's on the OP for a bigger burst. Nothing new really.

i-if you want, you could put a video of the opener under that section (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI1KW1qSx9U)

he does gk+ls, which is a bit weird, but the same for the most part. a note on this is that fey wind on pull will make it so that you hit the 4th with a few buffs still on, which is pretty neat

Mhahahaha! You sly devil. xD

I'm building up a library of Videos which will be put in the "Number Crunching" post. The "perfect" raid/parse examples, not necessarily highest parsed, will be put there as an example on how to correctly handle the mechanics with little downtime or amazing rotation flow.

Hopefully other people agree this is a good idea.

I didn't realize dragoon animations were this cool. They must've added a lot of new ones cause the old stuff kinda sucked.

You kidding me? DRG was one of the best jobs for looking good while filling out the T7 bingo. No breakdance, minimal particle effect auras, just perfect freeze frames every time.
