Dragoon Rework

[Petite]

Another problem of adding GCDs to the rotation (or disconnecting) is that the DoT from CS will fall off several seconds before you can reapply it.

Additionally, Power Surge is usually refreshed when it has around 7s left, so extra GCDs can put us in situations where the buff falls off at a specific crucial GCD that will be followed by specific oGCDs.
This would be solved by adjusting the timers of the DoT and Power Surge in some way though.

Yup exactly. CS’s dot and Power Surge’s durations would need to be adjusted a bit.

I'm ambivalent about making PT part of the main rotation. I think it's better if its purpose is only to keep the GCD rolling for disconnects but fixed so that it's not that awful. On the other hand, I guess it'd be a bit flavorful since we'll be throwing our spear more?

The way I saw it after reading Shurrikhan’s suggestion, it wouldn’t be about forcing PT into the rotation like I initialy envisionned. If the « 0PT, 1PT, 2PT » routes were to be of similar potencies to one another, the whole system would be utilized as a way to give us more flexibility when disconnected from our targets as well as let us influence where, in our GCD rotation, we’d want our buffs to allign.

Example: I’m at Disembowel and my buffs are coming back up in 2 GCD, I could delay my rotation with two PTs. Using the two PTs by themselves would be a dps loss, but they would later buy-back their uses becasue DfD would have become more powerful from the two PT charges I had generated. That way, no damage loss would occur and we'll have gained a better buff starting point. The potencies would need to be adjusted carefully for that system to work as a « flexibility » option and not as the optimal route to follow.
