What is the point of "no mods" if it is not enforced?

[Taika]

So with that in mind I was in a six player dungeon and another player started complaining I was only doing 3 attack moves. These attacks stacked so I do one, then the second which does more damage than if I'd just done it on its own before the first, and then the last attack does massive damage.

There is a WORLD of difference between playing like that, and just spamming your full thrust combo. You have other abilities, learn how to use them.

Urthdigger explained the basics. This thread still has the full level 50 rotation you should use as a base for leveling from 50 to 60: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...otation-Reborn

When you get to level 60, it's time to learn the current full rotation, which you can find from this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...A-DPS-Paradigm

As a DD, there is never a situation in which you only spam 1 2 3.
