How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Stormbad]

Is there a recommended opener for when potion usage is not possible/ideal? (i.e. in expert roulette or something.)

You can spread one of the double-weave oGCD into the slot where the potion would be activated.
But as a general rule, just use your judgement. In experts or other non-savage content, my CDs never align to when the boss is being pulled anyways.

I've just been spreading out one of my double-weaves mostly. Can't remember which one (mostly muscle memory at this point) but whatever has the longest cast time of the openers generally speaking.

He is either going dragoon or one of the new classes, as for info, probably reddit and his personal website.

He will not be playing dragon, his melee partner will. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...lysis/dicaxf9/

Regardless of if dervy comes back, this site and reddit will have new rotations posted

So the new skill, seems like single target BotD attack? I was kinda expecting it anyway.

Shame about animation though, it looks like they lazily spliced together Impulse Drive and Blood of the Dragon for it.

New technique looks like it could be:

-A single target version of Geirskogul that's higher potency (useful for bosses and ST).
-A more potent version of Geirskogul (either ST or MT) that uses all remaining BoTD duration (best used before a boss becomes invincible or before a target dies).

It looks like a BoTD animation but the blue dragon flies up into the air and drops on the mob causing a moderate blue explosion.

-A more potent version of Geirskogul (either ST or MT) that uses all remaining BoTD duration (best used before a boss becomes invincible or before a target dies).

Or before you refresh botd, just like how you'll use one last geirskogul to use up the remaining botd timer before refreshing it. While we can't say anything about how this skill works, it does look uncannily similar to botd/geirskogul effects.

So the ability video is out, and see the dragoon UI gauge. It appears when when the eye turns red Geirskogul puts you in red mode? Seems in that state Geirskoguls no longer affect the timer? It also looked like he used wheeling thrust as a 4th combo and fang and claw as a 5th? Both added 10 secs to BOTD. What you guys think, I only saw it a couple of times.

1:10 for DRG.

Invigorate, Feint, and Leg Sweep are now Cross-Role skills, so we'll probably lose those. Low Blow is also a cross skill, which looks like the DRG used that half way through, likely instead of Leg Sweep.
