Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Kurand0]

I hope this is the right place for this, if not I'm sorry. There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with my rotation, which is odd because I'm following this guide more or less to the letter. I'm ilvl 90 and using the Gae Bold zenith. When I check my DPS at the dummy, I struggle to break 300. I usually go until I run out of TP so I know the duration is consistent. This is my exact rotation:

HT-sweep-ID-IR-Dis-BfB-PS-CT-jump-Ph-TT-VT-Ls-FT-HT-TT-VT-FT-Ph-ID-Dis-CT-HT-TT-VT-FT-Ph-TT-VT-FT

When I'm just parsing at the dummy I'll weave the other jumps in whenever they're up. If someone could shed some light on this I'd greatly appreciate it.

one thing, don't put multiple off-gcds in between gcds

You are so right. Virtually impossible for us gamepad users

Here's what is recommended:

HT-IR-ID-BFB-DiS-PS-CT-Jump-PH-Sweep-TT-(Spineshatter)-VT-LS-FT(DF)

That's how you should do your burst. If you're not breaking 300, then you're doing something terribly wrong somewhere. You're doing the optimal rotation of H-IDC-P-TTT, H-TTT-P-IDC-H-TTT-P-IDC, so the only thing I can really say is that you're just not being quick enough with your skills, or thinking too much about the rotation, thus breaking the fluidity. With i90 on a dummy you should be 330 stable-ish.

Save your jumps for your bursts, or your friend isn't "testing" you properly.

After jump my ph move won't trigger. It goes to true thrust. What am I doing wrong?

Hitting True Thrust before Phleb comes out. Jumps have a slight ending delay.

Hi everyone,
I only recently found out about this thread, and i'm stuck with what to do with my gear. I'm still quite new to this game.
Up until now i've basically just done my own thing, tried to stack ACC and CRIT as much as possible, based on what i thought DRG to be; a short burst class.
Until I found out about this thread, and realised i should've been doing something else.
My plan was just to continue farming CRIT gear, and sink some Solderies in W.A Gloves/Accessories, while pumping up my Atma wep.

I have also have Allagan body, and Myth feet in invo.
Anything <H.A I will probably be able to hunt.

I need a bit of help with Pre-Second coil set-up, so that i'll be ready to start farming for the BiS set.

Much appreciated,
Thanks.

Interesting. Were you predominately at the rear, or flank for most of those T8 attempts? If you were mainly at the Rear and only going to the flank for HT, that could slightly skew the results, but interesting nonetheless.

1stly, especially for yourself who's still new and gearing up to i90, I WOULD NOT gear for BiS. I would get any upgrade you can possibly get your hands on. And ilvl upgrade is always better, no matter whatever the stats are (in most cases...) Get those Gloves, bracelets, especially your earrings upgraded and put your Myth Boots on. Those i60 boots are trash, and no where near as good as i90 Myth Boots.

The order of stats should always follow Weapon Damage > Strength > Accuracy Requirements > Determination > Crit > Skill Speed, for basic gearing up that is.
