How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Daralii]

anyone else absolutely hates the eso gloves?
theres a random huge red spikes on them and it clips EVERYTHING.

i had to glamour it back to asura glove and dye it dark blue (which looks very cool btw)

The set in general has a ton of clipping. High collars and long hair make me sad.

OK please don't laugh at me if its obvious.

After the advanced opener everything is on cooldown right. So when they start coming off cooldown do we pop them as soon as possible anywhere in the rotation or do we hold them?

I.e. Ir comes off cd do I pop it between CT and TT or do I wait for b4b to come off cd then use them in the same positions as the opener?

This includes jumps, pot and BL. It sounds very obvious I know, I just want to make sure I'm doing it right so I maximise my DPS .

Thanks

I'm pretty sure the cooldowns are popped whenever possible, unless waiting for 1 gcd will result in a better output.

For example, BFB goes off cooldown after you used True Thrust, waiting to use it after you use vorpal thrust will result in better output.
Best time to pop BFB is posted by Dervy in first page.

So far I only got PS and Jump timing down because it's very simple lol, 2 jump = 1 PS

Only a couple of things:

- B4B timings are on main page, and is timed/optimized to cover 2 Geirskoguls.
- Blood of the Dragon should be reused (and most likely lines up almost perfectly depending on latency) after the earliest Vorpal Blade/Disembowel you can do, unless you know there will be a phase shift soon (in which case, save it)
- Battle Litany can usually be used immediately off cooldown, though if you can coordinate with your static you might benefit more from waiting an optimal number of people are in the "burst" part of their rotation. Also make sure if you have multiple DRGs to coordinate who is using it on CD first.
- Pots should be used in conjunction with B4B (I think?)

Alright, here's me trying to double-weave oGCDs.

It's hard for me to do it, still not sure whether it's latency or whatnot, or maybe it's me >_>

Ichi's 30 Seconds into Adv. Dragoon Opener.

Things to note:
1. Did not use any kind of potions, in the real deal, I will, though.
2. Disembowel is clipped for a bit.
3. GK usage isn't as smooth as the one in Dervy's.
4. Battle Litany isn't in effect, despite the animation is already in motion.

I hope you guys can help me find the cause!

So what are normal DPS so far for Dragoons in A1S and A2S? My group beat A2S and I think I did around 1400 ( used no AoE besides holding GK for a couple seconds then blowing it off completely )

Uhmm like 0.015% difference between the two jobs on a Dummy.

At i195:

My Static Monk: 1330
My Dragoon: 1310

Conditions? i.e; party str buff, food, pot, etc.

Yea that's weird how it showed animation for BL but didn't give you the buff or go on cd. What's your skill speed at out of curiosity? Def seems like a latency issue tho, especially with BL acting weird. But as for skill speed, it just seems like your gcd is going pretty fast, idk if you're at 2.39 it could be exasperating the latency issues

No food, no pots, no party buff, no selenes, no ast no ninja, nothing. Just raw rotation.

Dervy when do you pop ir after the opener? I pop mine (the next time it's off cd) at CT is this the optimal place?
