Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Silverharp]

1. (How I start off in Titan EX) HT > Phlebotomize > Leg Sweep > IDC > therestofallthatshit Be prepared to dodge through him to do IDC, because he might landslide your way instead of the rest of the party, be quick about it.

2. This one is worded a little funny, so I'm kinda iffy about answering it.
3. TTT dat Gaol/nail up with OGDs too.

4. Well if the Full thrust has already gone off, there's nothing you can do about it. Not that you'd want to because a Surge + Heavy thrust doesn't sound to appealing, does it?

All of these but the fourth are pretty wrong. Here is what you want to be doing.

1. Stick with the normal rotation, no point in switching it. HT>B4B>ID>IR>DE>PS>CT>Jump>Ph>LegS>TT>VT>LS>FT>HT>TT>VT>FT>Ph. Now after i phlebotomize i run to his back because at this time he is turning to land slide, so i literally run right through him to ID, then run back to where everyone is stacked, this usually means if the dps isn't insane then i get a brand new Dot rotation on him before he jumps losing no dps time.

2. I always finish my combo, even if your HT falls off because of a mechanic im pretty sure its better to FT or CT instead of starting over, i could be wrong though.

3. This is not the optimal way to do nails. We just had the discussion 2 pages back or 1 page back. Refer to EasymodeX's post. EasymodeX's post on nail rotation

4. If you already surged then just FT. If you have B4B active and it wont last through another rotation, just LS>FT. If neither of these are the case then go ahead with your normal rotation until the next time you come around to FT.

I like shorts, they're comfy and easy to wear!

Well, unless if me switching it during initial Titan pull hinders my DPS , then I'm okay. I merely use that at the beginning for my own convenience because Titan always landslides right as I was about to IDC his fat ass. So I'm Leg Sweeping as I'm walking through him to immediately IDC him. :P

Never drop your combos.

Also, in terms of Ifrit nails, "just TTT" should work for any group really. Getting more fancy is mostly there for epeening, having fun while hitting objects that don't fight back, and otherwise tryharding.

Does anybody know a path you can take to ADS that will remove the piercing buff he gets? I can't seem to find the link i used to use that describes each node's location and ability.

Usually my group just goes through the rot and ballast node, and i forget the third hahah.

Left path for melee, right path for casters. (uh.. as you are facing the first node lol)

Left path is slashing/magic resist

Right path is blunt/piercing resist

So facing the first node go left, then after the 2nd node go right, then whatever?

You don't split again, just stay on the left path and it will lead to ADS.

I use this as reference:

the resistance buff is pretty big. my BLM fire 1 only crit for 600-700 instead of 1k, when the boss got resist buff.

Really? I thought it was only 10% resist.. Your numbers are like 35-40% damage reduction. I'm normally tanking or healing though so I don't see those numbers.
