How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Dervy]

I came across this on reddit with regards to someone who was asking if it was worth it DPS wise to keep BotD up even if it meant not landing your positionals correctly.

Regardless, a nice chart to take a look at I suppose?

Yeah it's a nice sheet. Adding it to OP later.

I calculated a while back, that the average potency of "4th" needs to be 220ish (counting misses) over the course of an entire encounter, for it to be a PPS gain over H IDC4 P TTT4 TTT4. That includes Jump buffs and GK if I'm not mistaken.

As for Dropping BOTD vs skipping HT/P.. As long as you're able to hit all positionals in that cycle, yes skipping either a P or HT in favour of not dropping BOTD is the wisest thing to do. Dropping either is between a 1-2PPS loss, where as dropping BOTD is an 8 PPS loss including GK and Jump Buffs.(calculated in a 120s cycle that is).

That's one of the things I'll be adding to the OP later.

It should be the same as the old one.

He should be using the Rotation of Shame as he doesn't have WT/FC yet. Everything else is spot on.
