Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[JetBrooks]

Hi Guys, recently started to play as a DRG and my combo is slightly different from the one mentioned in the beginning of this topic.

Mine goes like: HT-Ph-ID-Dis-CT instead of HT-ID-Dis-CT-Ph

Are there any major impact in-terms of DPS wise?

As for Fracture, is it wise for me to include it in my rotation? If yes, where?

Thanks in advance

EMX has explained the advantage of H IDC P TTT etc. a million times, but play how you want, I guess.

Has also explained it's less than 1% DPS loss. So yeah.

Edit: I do prefer the H IDC P TTT method, but iirc the "old" way was HPF IDC TTT HPF TTT IDC HPF TTT TTT so some people are hardwired for HP.

I also like that it's a consistent flow of 4-hit combos, seems to work into fight mechanic timing perfectly. Like in Titan EX, I'm preemptively moving to dodge mechanics because I know where they come in my rotation. And strangely, flank/rear moves often come up when I have to move. It's like magic =p

From earlier discussions + my own calculations + dummy, HPF IDC TTT and H IDC P TTT has no significant difference in damage dealt over a 3 min fight (but strangely my data says HPF IDC TTT deals 100 dmg more over 3 mins contrary to all the claims of why clipping is bad, maybe I haven't perfected the off GCDs for H IDC P TTT)

But my point is this: H IDC P TTT doesn't use one extra cross class skill, which allows mercy stroke instead of fracture. Factor that additional off GCD skill in and H IDC P TTT should win by a little bit more (i mean 20% is not exactly a lot of time for you to cast a 90 second cooldown skill)

I tried scrolling through quite a number of pages and i can't find the discussion (:/ i swear i am not being lazy), anyway, the reason i asked is because i need to know what is the best combo move set and if compare to mine, what is the impact.

As how i place my skill on the skill bar makes it easier for me to use H P IDC TTT. So if the dps is lower than 1% i can slowly take my time to learn the H IDC P TTT combo (no rush) and if i really mess it up alot, i will revert back to my old rotation.

Edit: nope thought i knew where it was. >.<

Ahhhhh, after 4 months of wiping on T4. I finally see and get the Allagan Helm... never thought i'de get it! Whats funny is that I made a brand new Darksteel Chain Coif and slotted it with IV's the day of, managed to spiritbind it too and converted it to a savage aim IV when I put on the helm...yayyy!

Nice, grats! That's about the only piece I want from turn 4 at the moment. Got to phase 6 a few times last night (as off-tank), still no clear

What are you guys having trouble with?

Actually last nights group was the best I had been in, we failed due to me not picking up the adds fast enough Healer kept getting gibbed by a stray knight or soldier (whichever one spawns on the south side). It really sucked, the dps was so good - pushed into each phase, all spiders killed in p4, killed knights and soldiers in p5 first, almost got the dread down before p6.. Then I screwed it all up lol
