[Stormblood] [Dragoon Rotation] COME ON AND SLAM

[LiquidSwordz]

Maybe by nerfing heavy thrust it may be on its way out eventually. Probably by next expansion. Between that, keeping disembowel up and and multiple positional to keep max damage, something is bound to go eventually but I like the high skill ceiling of the job personally. Just get good don't make it fool proof to play

so... when i have the dragon gaze ready, if i pop BOTD, then use GK to turn it into LOTD, then jump, then SSD, would the BOTD buff still affect jump and SSD in LOTD?

LOTD is basically BOTD with the difference being that it's red and it unlocks Nastrond. You don't lose BOTD buffs when you enter LOTD.

I would of made it that being in LotD would increase overall damage or maybe increase jump potency even more.

so is it better to have LOTD activate right after the second jump now

Not necessarily. Actually, in a ST fight like v1 or v2 it's probably better to activate it around 70 seconds like in 4.0 to benefit from b4b. In other instances it really depends on adds phases. Now we can pretty much decide exactly when we want to activate lotd without having to sacrifice eyes. This is good.
Funny thing is, they probably made drg more complex because eyes/geirskogul management is much less straightforward now.

i tried to look for some replays on fflog after the 4.1 changes, and i did found that the top dps drgs are still doing it like u said, around 70s like in 4.0, though i was looking at specifically v4s, inbetween boss jumping away and changing location and stuff, it seems activating LOTD right after 2nd jump is not such a good idea

Yes. Especially in Shinryu ex, activating lotd right after the second jump is a terrible idea. But the same is true for a lot of other fights. In V1 and V2 you don't want to do it as well. Not sure about V3 and V4, gotta experiment a little there.

Terrible idea because it makes bfb come up at an awkward time?
