Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

Only time our rotation will change, will be once we're hitting 2.21 GDC without selene (648 SS). At 2.21 GDC, we can also then fit in another skill (Fracture maybe?) in the same frame as the Heavy Thrust buff. Up until that point, I feel we'll keep the same rotation, but it'll give us more room for mistakes, or to move around AOE's etc.

I am I90 drg I do perfectly on bosses like titan ex, because there is only single enemy, but I suck on places like T4 for example. (I might not be that bad) but I'd like to have some opinions.

When there are multiple weak enemies, should I use my DOTs on them or should I just do the TT-VT-FT combo and keep buffs up? Which would be best on damage wise? or should I maybe use my DOTs on other enemy while I do the TT-VT-FT combo to the enemy I am mainly killing?

well anyways I'd like to have some opinions how I should handle weak and multiple enemies as a DRG?


Also my other concern has been when power surge is not up yet should I use jumps ASAP for dps or should I wait for power surge and then jump? Also should I use dragonfire dive for dps?

Also are marauder cross class skills worth of it for the dps?


and lastly. If I mess up my "rotation", because of boss AOE Should I apply buffs asap back when I start attacking again?

Hard and fast rules:

1 enemy: The Rotation
2 enemies: Keep Chaos Thrust and Phleb applied to both
3+ enemies: AoE rotation (HT>RoT>HT>RoT... or HT>DS>DS>DS...)

Use Jump on cooldown, pair it with Power Surge when possible, but do not wait for Power Surge to use Jump. DFD and SSD should be used for DPS on fights where they are not needed as gap-closers or Stun tools.

Mercy Stroke is "worth it".

Heavy Thrust, Disembowel/Chaos Thrust, and Phleb all take priority. Full Thrust is "filler" and should never be used when other stuff is down except for very short burst purposes.

Full Thrust is "filler" and should never be used when other stuff is down except for very short burst purposes.

I disagree. Full Thrust should never be used when it's not in a combo action regardless of short burst purpose or not. You're better off doing something else.

Edit:
Or I misunderstood you when you said Full Thrust but you actually meant the whole Full Thrust combo?

Yes, they were. Keep going back a few pages.

My skill speed is on 528 and I didn't even mean to make it that high... What's a good parse on a dummy until TP runs out? There's not many good dragoons on my server and now days they're becoming more and more rare so finding one who actually knows how to play one is kinda rare. Everyone I know who plays Dragoon as an alt gets the same DPS on a dummy.

In full i90, no food no pots (including i90 weapon), you should be parsing 353-5. With an i95, should be in the 360 region, then 370ish in i93.
