The Spear?

[Ghishlain]

NO do not throw on Dragoon mech or bard ... there cooldown is too long and majority of the time they are already on cooldown when u throw spear on them.... which then DOES NOT give the cooldown reduction..... With ninja however u garentee to always reduce there next mudra due to only being 20sec cooldown and they are always using it on cooldown so u will always make there next mudra come back faster........ compare to drg/mch/brd....... ninja is ur best option

I will have to respectively disagree with your use of Spear for DRG bit at least.

* I didn't count Blood of the Dragon or Geirskogul since you're gonna be building your rotation around 100% uptime on those abilities and Geirskogul you'll probably never want reduced recast.

Ninja 30s Abilities

• Jugulate (96 Potency)
• Raiton (360 Potency or 480 if Trick Attack is up)

Total either 456 or 576 Potency +10% for raid damage

Dragoon 30s Abilities

• Leg Sweep (149 Potency)
• Jump (299 Potency or 414 if Power Surge is up)

Total of 448 Potency or 563 Potency

Yeah, I like the idea of Spearing DRG because even though the potency is slightly lower, DRG has a lot of 60s abilities that you'll probably end up reducing as well at times and Assassinate for NIN is only available when the target is below 20%, giving even less abilities to Spear off on NIN.

While there is merit to consistency with Raiton versus Leg Sweep, I do like the odds of me getting Jump and Jugulate as well in a single Spear.
