    DRG rotation&buffs question

    So first off, Here is my opening rotation...
    http://ffxivrotations.com/1st1

    Now here is my question...
    I am looking for opinions/math about my buff placements in my opener.
    Are my buffs in good placement (or at least close) for maximizing my opening rotation\\'s DPS?
    Also are they aligned for optimal timing upon next useage?


    Note: basicly only time I change it up is when I\\'m not using pots. Then I move spinshatter dive to right before chaos thrust where the pot was.

    You want to swap BfB and Litany with DS. This allows Blood to catch your buffed Wheeling Thrust. You may need to delay BfB slightly into your next GCD, depending your skill speed. Basically, pop Litany then watch your GCD and press Blood right before Disembowel can be used. The goal is always try and squeeze nine GCDs in a Blood window. You also want to swap Spineshatter and Dragon Fire. This is what it should look like...

    You can use Diversion pre-pull as it doesn't really matter. In most fights, you want to Elusive right as the tank's about to pull. That way you start, you get in an extra auto plus can hit Heavy Thrust slightly faster without pulling yourself since Elusive doesn't trigger aggro until you actually land. Another tip for maximizing is to delay your Life of the Dragon phase. When your extra Jump comes off CD, hold the Mirage Dive and use Geirskogul first. Sit on your three Eye stacks until Geirskogul's off CD then set up LotD. This allows you to line up your last Nastrond cast with your next BfB.

    This video guide covers pretty much everything on how to optimize DRG.
