How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[BalmungAzuresky]

Ariyala is not working for me anymore. Just a circle with a green light looping in the middle of my screen. Anyone else having the same prob ?

Edit : working now

A5. I think my highest with a 220 weapon in A6 was 1470 .

Alright, thanks for the input. I'm noticing issues with my DoT uptime compared to yours that'll probably make up for a bit of the discrepancy.
Do you have any tips or anything you pay particular attention to for 5? I would appreciate any help.

I don't know. Are you doing the rotation correctly? You drop Phleb outside of boost a few times and you seem to go into the boosts too early also and forget to refresh Phleb there.

Phlebotomize usage is definitely one of my weaker points for DRG right now, it's something I've been focusing on since then. I'm still fresh to DRG in higher-end content so likely I just need to practice more. Thanks again o7

I wish more people used this site: http://ffxivrotations.com/

I'm trying to learn dragoon but i can only do 1300-1400 with i230 relic while on ninja i do 1700-1800 with also i230 relic, i've watched Dervy guide but i can't understand some things he says.

Can someone make the advanced rotation starting with the opener on the link above and post here please? Thank you very much.

@robbie, this is what I do: http://ffxivrotations.com/6x5

@the rest,

you guys got a optimal cd usage for nidhog? not getting that high dps as much as I want to / in comparison to other drg's on fflogs.

@Zalera one thing to consider here is that Jinzhu is an extremely skilled dragoon, by which I mean that the vast majority of dragoons (including the baddie that is me) aren't reaching those kinds of numbers if you check sites like fflogs. I'm not saying you shouldn't be aiming high, but don't feel too bad if you don't reach 99th percentile

Yeah, I've been going through their fflogs entries and others to gleen info. I understand that without the gear and the experience I won't be hitting high percentiles for a while, it's moreso that's the standard I hold myself to when I play. I like to think I did decently on WAR and PLD and I'd like to keep it up on DRG.

Hey guys, how do you recover from a rotation of IDC4th > phlebotomize > heavy thrust > TTT4th? I try to maintain the typical drg rotation, but sometimes I find myself using phlebotomize into heavy thrust.

I usually try to skip to what the next "correct" action to use in the rotation would be if I find myself in a weird situation like that. In the above scenario I'd probably throw Heavy Thrust again after TTT4th so that the rotation is "back on track"; your CDs might line up a bit funny for a bit and you might have to skip a Geirskogul to not drop BotD or delay a CD for its "correct spot". But it does depend on the mechanics of the fight and when there may be uncontrollable downtime or not. The solution I do is probably not the most optimal but its the easiest to perform for me and usually still lets me dish out quite a lot of damage.
