Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[whiskeybravo]

Just out of curiosity, where do you guys use your Leg Sweep in your rotation?

I put mine in between Disembowel and Chaos Thrust to cut the animation since DS is such a long animation.

It's usually one of the last oGCD abilites I use. This is mainly due to how I have the controller set up, IDC combo is on the left side so I use the left side buffs first, leg sweep is on the right side, so I usually throw it in during TTT or Ph <LS> TTT.

Ummm, it depends.

Most of the time it's right between True Thrust and Vorpal Thrust. The other occasions, it's the same as yours.

Right before Phlem. Every time. Helps to keep track of whether I'm using HT or Phlem in the combo too

[Dervy]

I use it before Plebotomize.

Well if IR + BB is up it is the following:

(HT + IR + ID + B4B + DS + LEG SWEEP + CT + PS + PHLEB + JUMP + TT + VT + LS + FT + HT + TT +VT + LEG SWEEP + FT + PHLEB) and here is where my DS and
CT have around 6 seconds or so left so i start from the beginning

Is there a reason you dont use B4B to buff ID too? I usually swap B4B and ID around and still have enough time to get a HT into it at the end usually.

People do that because there's fights, like ADS or Titan, where players are scared they may mistime avoiding the AOEs, and losing their buffs on the Full Thrust. Another argument is that they find IR still ticking over Life Surged Full Thrust to be a "waste". I still, I don't think any of those arguments warrant a loss in -54 potency on the Impulse Drive.

Honestly, I can't name a fight before T4 where high SS for a DRG results in serious TP issues. All the Primals have lots of forced down-time and all other fights are just too short.

Maybe Ultima HM. But then again, Aetheric Boom has just enough forced downtime to get enough TP back :\

I've actually nearly ran out of TP on T4 a fair few times, as our SCH uses Selene with those Skill Speed Buffs lol :P But yeah, just do whatever you fancy for EX's tbh.

aye im on ps3 and graphical lag/network lag affect me very much so; i like to give myself as much of a buffer as i can to ensure important buffs do not fall off at the end of a combo, ie. full thrust. i'll take the -54 potency on ID to ensure B4B is definitely up on LS'ed FT.

Ok thats what i was thinking too. Thanks, seems my rotation is right on.
