How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[TheKingSlayer]

I've seen a lot of people talking about holding gap closers for the wash away on A3S. I've found the only one to save elusive on the pull for the second wash away (I normally backflip in at pulls). In the opener if you use SSD before DFD, SSD will be back up for the first wash away, leaving zero down time and extra opening burst. Also PS and Jump should be back up right as wash away is happening so use that first, get one GCD, then SSD.

Apologies if this is already known.

Whiskey, Make the tanks pull them away first, force a hand clap then keep them stacked until the next change which will be fist. Always consistent, most uptime for melees and the most optimal way to get them stacked for long periods. I get 3 laser before hand form, 1 laser during that next b4b, then 4-5 on double hands, the 5th one really depends on how my rotation goes after the Equal and if I dont screw up my elusive jump, sometimes I don't get the 5th one.

@Hak that's pretty impressive how you're pulling off 5 lasers during double hand phase. I'm not sure I understand correctly, but by 5 you mean 5 all throughout the double hand phase right? So you only get 2/3 during the burn phase? Because I reckon that would be totally impossible to pull of 5 during burn phase lol

Thanks, Hak. We got a new tank this week and that was his suggested strat but the other tank was used to this way so that's what we did. It makes more sense to force the clap instead of the fist, and if this tank sticks around next week he'll be on DRK instead and we'll have to do it that way regardless I think (they don't have a knockback cd?).

Orlandeu- It didn't seem like you could get that many at first glance, but it's ~120 second phase? Theoretical max should be 5 or 6. Really amazing stuff there xD

DRK can use Plunge for nearly the same effect. Could be up for both if they do it right. Right now we've just had WAR OT Holmgang the first one, the second one we just go splat wherever.

Now that we've got some room to mess around, I might bring up the forced mechanics next week because we've just been assuming they're random (no reason to believe otherwise haha).

Yeah forcing ✋ first then ✊ is the best imo.

Nice hand symbols there lol. I filled in for another group that did the clap first, it went well, tried to take that strat back to my static, wiped once and they wanted to go back ._. Oh well, still making progress so I guess that's what matters most

@whiskey at first I thought that 5 laser thing was only during burn phase.

[Hakmatic]

Its from the time the first hand clap is forced, throughout the rest of that phase.

lolol 5 geirskoguls a minute at high skill speeds by dropping PH mostly

i wonder if this even has any use beyond novelty
