How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[JackFross]

What's this new opener? Where is everything placed? Or is there a video, perhaps? It sounds like it's a bit more... forgiving when it comes to double weaving.

It's not really new. It's the same as the one in the opening post, just with BotD and IR having their order swapped.

Through my own theorycrafting a bit after that was mentioned, I found that this is technically higher opening burst.

The difference is minor/negligible. Important to note is that, with a 2.4 gcd, your Internal Release will pick up the gsk after Vorpal if you do gsk>life in the normal rotation (that is, IR>BotD) but it won't pick it up if you do life>gsk. The reason for Dervy's change is likely to shift Life Surge that second or so sooner to make things smoother in the long run while still maintaining IR buff on the gsk, since gsk is a flexible cooldown. He's doing insane levels of optimization to pull off an ideal rotation for maximum dps. That shift has absolutely no impact on the dps of the opener, but it has effects down the road.
