How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Bloodborn8]

"In A3S, when I started out doing the normal rotation (HT-IDC4-P-TTT4-Repeat) I found that at ~620 Skillspeed (2.4s GCD), at the phase change from "human" form into a hand, my Disembowel would go off without the damage or the debuff almost every time.

HT - IDC4 - TTT4- P - Repeat"


I've been able to get the Disembowel in before the change, but it still throws off the numbers. What I do is wait the 1.5 secs with Disembowel procked, this way I don't have to clip or worry about the debuff falling off. If you do PH after the 4 the combo I don't know you will still get the B4B buff on it.

I can "get Disembowel in" - my issue is that the animation finishes after invulnerability, so the combo still progresses but I do not get the debuff or the damage - similar to how you can start up a combo when the boss is invulnerable at the start of the add phase. When I try to hold Disembowel when I do the normal opener, it falls off a split second before the hand becomes vulnerable. Maybe this has to to with latency differences, I don't know. However, I do know that I get B4B on that Phlebotomize.

EDIT: Maybe your scholar uses selene during this phase? Ours prefers Eos

Just use double Impulse Drive, thats my way. BotD dont fall off and combo neither. Spam click on enemy list and in the same time Disembowel when the boss return vulnerable, thats work for me.

I did consider a double ID, but the way I saw it, a raw Phlebotomize is 410 potency. Compare this to an ID buffed by HT and Dis, which is 227.7 Potency. In addition, this allows me to move Phlebotomize deeper into my rotation, which loses fewer ticks as a result of the phase change.
