How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[CookieMonsta]

is it just me or why, in the opener, my blood for blood can no longer cover the second 4TH hit (the very last action before reapply Heavy Thrust)?

SS currently at 620

You need another 5sks to reach the breakpoint. Otherwise the 21sks you have since 591 is borderline worthless as far as reducing ur gcd goes. Also, try delaying the BfB until halfway thru the gcd after heavy thrust, or place legsweep before it and double weave.

The break point is at 599 so 21 points wasted.

At 599, is your heavy thrust still buffed by previous heavy thrust's effect in full combo?

Back after a long break. Good to see the drg community still going strong!

question for A11S guys, boss casts optical sight right when i have the fully buffed Full Thrust , if it's the two big orbs, should i take the hit and keep on finishing the opener? since it will be off after the next optical sight, and it's such a big dps lost if i dont do that full thrust there...

Are you still learning that phase? If you're sure you can dodge the other stuffs that give vuln up, it's fine to eat the first optical sight since the stack should drop before anything hits you hard. If you're learning it's better to just dodge it until you and your healers are comfortable with that phase since the whirlwind aoe hits pretty hard when you have more than one vuln stacks.

?

How do you place de boss?

Actually I have no problem doing it, I just ignore de positional of my 4th combo because I have to dodge but it's ok, no gcd loss.
Even with the multiple orbs, you can still dps if you do it the right way.

Hi guys, Can I know whats the mininum Gear i should be wearing if i were to go in for A9s wit drg.
Thanks in advance!

[Shamox]

Well as long as you know your job i'd say 240gear is enough, sophia weapon would be appreciated.
Otherwise some crafted gear + alexander NM gear is good.
If you can pentameld here's the stuff I started with as an exemple:

Accuracy cap must be around 670 (like A5S) to be sure.

The dps required depend only of your wish,
There isn't really any dps check.
