Disembowel seems like a good idea to have going. Phlebotomize of course, and I try to Internal Release for that (and also using Fracture, but I can see where maybe later there's just not really room to worry about that maybe). And then it's just using buffs/oGCD skills as they come up While TTTing. Just about the gist of it until I get into HW skills?

Before unlocking any Heavensward abilities just use the following priority list: Heavy Thrust > Disembowel Combo > Phlebotomize > True Thrust Combo. It's a good idea to drop Fracture altogether as it has a relatively low potency and a high TP cost (220 pot/80TP). For comparison your TTT combo has ~237 pot/~63 TP per GCD without taking into account the buff that Disembowel gives. Fracture has its uses but they're very few and far between and you're better off cross-classing something like Mantra or Foresight instead.

The gameplay of a Dragoon changes rather drastically at levels 56-60, refer back to the OP of this thread when you hit that point for more information.
