How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

Follow the opener with HT-TTT4, etc. This opener does about 700 more damage than the standard opener with A4S stats. I found it because I originally developed a rotation simulator.

Hope that's helpful!

I've been considering using this opener in A4S. As it stands normally, my last combo before Quarantine is a Full Thrust combo, which leaves the Bard with a pretty substantial dead time (approximately 16-17 seconds) of Disembowel if I get sucked up. I'm hoping Relia still stalks this thread to reply to this question, but anyone with knowledge of it would be helpful - would it be worth it? For context, this opener is technically better than the standard potion opener. I'd be trying to theorycraft a no-potion opener myself, since I like using my potion on leg 3 due to being a scrub, but yeah. An extra 5 gcds before that last Disembowel application would cut the time from 16-17 down to 3-4.

Would it be worthwhile to make a change like this?


//EDIT: After fiddling a bit in excel, I came up with this:
http://ffxivrotations.com/2q9 - optimal H-IDC4-P-IDC4 with no Potion
http://ffxivrotations.com/2qa - optimal H-IDC4-P-TTT4 with no Potion

numbers say the former would be +4-ish pps over the latter, but I dunno if I totally trust the numbers.
