How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Jonnycbad]

Current BiS stats for Anima? I keep hearing conflicted setups. Some have 120/120 for Crit/Acc, others have 120Crit, 117acc, 3SKS, etc. Someone linked https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...anetws_solver/ but that shows Aug.Pankriast Ring over Proto Ultima, which makes 0 sense, since Proto has Crit+Sks, and Pankriast has Det+Sks.

From that link:

They both use the savage and proto rings. 120 accu 117 crit 3 sks was the BiS build for i270 anima back before 3.5, it changed a bit after we got i275, and changed again after we got proto ultima stuffs. 120 accu 120 crit were the rough estimate on what people expected to be BiS to replace the savage spear and allow us to wear the savage pants (3 sks was just a minor tuning to reach the next sks tier). Current BiS uses something like 111 accu 120 crit 9 det, to take into account the new proto ultima.

So is Dervy going to play drg for SB and if there is what would be a site to look for new rotations?

[Claymore022]

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

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

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

Pretty sure the idea would be to just drop the potion. Gives you an extra GCD to deal with all the stuff that needs crammed into the opener.

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.

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.
