How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[JackFross]

Hey Jack

That's what I was doing, I end with 4th > TTT > [ HT on invuln ] to re-up it as he transitions, then HT when the phase starts back up again to re-up it for a full combo following. And the issue is that right after that Disembowel (that used to be a Vorpal Thrust), I hit Jump. I can't re-position and then Jump between Dis>CT without clipping my GCD.


In add phase, I've been basically leading it off with a CT combo on the first Piston, Leg Sweep it when it gets there and BotD to start my blood cycles. I hold my GSK all through that phase, just re-upping blood until I need a GSK to finish a burn on a tiny add; it has range, 200 potency, costs 0 TP, and lets you snipe one from a good distance if it's about to hit the water all without interrupting the flow of your combos.

Aside from that, I tend to FT combo the gears, CT combo the pistons, weaving Jump/PS Jump on cooldown and using DFD to close gaps in dire circumstances, especially when multiple adds are grouped up for it. I generally try to bite off more than I can chew, since last night our dps through wipes in add phase was generally 1100/1000/900/900 me/mnk/smn/mch. That said, my group hasn't cleared add phase yet, so any strats I have aren't necessarily ideal.

I never use CT or Phle in add phase.
