How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Greyfrost]

I'm from South East Asia region xD, Indonesia, particularly.

Honestly, from Aussie/NZ to JP Data Center shouldn't be that high of a ping? Would still be better than me.

I'm rolling at 240-260ms :C

Dude. Same country here. What are you using? Mine hovers at 100ms.
Then again I'm in tonberry.

You might wanna consider changing to a japan data center if it's that bad.

Tonberry is the unofficial SEA server after all

Close enough.

My ISPs routing to JP is bad bad bad. Some have good routing and get like 150 naturally. For me, with WTFast, It goes from like 220 to 160. Wondering if Leatrix is going to improve that or not.

But yeah, you're kind of playing the game on hard mode by being on NA servers! 0.o.

I'm not too sure if it'll help a lot, but it's definitely worth a try, I like my game hard. lol.

Using FirstMedia as my ISP. Yeaaaah, might consider moving to JP Data Center if I get net-gated in the further content.

On a side note, for the opener, is it viable to swap the BFB and IR Priority?

So we go like this,

HT > BL+IR > ID > BFB+BotD ?

Because for some reason if I'm using the Adv. Opener as is, the BFB goes down right after Full Thrust, so the BFB doesn't buff the 2nd 4th that comes after Full Thrust.

You can swap them for a very minor pps loss. It would be a pps GAIN if your ping is causing you to miss the ninth hit of BFB. Using it as HT>BL+BFB>etc should have it last JUST long enough to catch your second 4th hit, but only with 100% uptime on the boss and perfect hitting of the GCD skills. The timing becomes looser with more SS; at 2.40 even it's REALLY tight. If you physically can't make that 9th gcd, it'd likely be a gain for you to swap it. In my opener I use 99.99% of the time (because Potions are expensive and rarely needed) I do:

HT>[BL+B4B]>ID>[IR]>Dis>[BotD]>CT> same as normal

So it's really easy to (if your B4B won't last) just shift the B4B to couple with IR instead without issue. It only becomes a swapping situation with Pots.

Thank you Jack, yeah, my ping is 240-ish :c.

My recast is 2.41s at i193 atm, I'm gonna try and tweak it, see if I can get it down to 2.40 or 2.39, and I'll report whether I can hit 2nd 4th being buffed by BFB with BFB used after Heavy Thrust.

Thanks for the input again o/

And uh... This might be a more technical question :

To weave double-oGCD between two GCDs, do you just press the button immediately after the first GCD animation starts?
And then mash the 2nd oGCD after the first oGCD animation start?

I'm asking because in the runs I've been, it feels like people can weave in their skills at the most unnatural timing as DRG (at least, for me).

For example, in Dervy's vid, he used HT > BL, but the BL animation starts right after the first movement of heavy thrust (The thrusting one), and not the downward swing.
Where as for me, the BL animation starts after the downward swing of Heavy Thrust, no matter how fast / how much I spam the button.

TL;DR : Is there a trick to weaving / casting oGCD faster? Thank you everyone \o/
