Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[KidSerge]

I don't want to be weak but in this case, its not me thats weak but only the DRG.

Any suggestions on that? :/

dragoons can destroy on that fight. some of its rng with conflags, dread stuns, fireballs. but unless you are getting everything, it should be substantially more then a tank.

Gotta give some more info..

What are you doing? How do you handle the 3 dragons at the start? How do you go about conflags? How do you tackle dread? Snakes?

The tactics run trough my vains, so no problem on that I don't ever let Heavy Thrust/phletomobize run out, 1 impulsive drive combo, 2 True Thrust(?) with phletomobize inbetween, buffs when they are available and OGC skills like Leg Sweep. Rotation goes for everything in there except for conflags, I only use true thrust combo there for max dps output in min. time

It's not about t5 but my overall damage output. I just feel weak. I had to lie if I said that I know my auto attack dps but its somewhere around 250-300 and my highest damage is about 1300.
I don't know if you can consider it weak, but it feels just bad when I'm giving out slightly more damage than a Tank, whose purpose is not do dps :/

I have no rng problems on conflags or anything or basically the whole thing. But it bothers me so much... Our Pala is very skilled and he is..in my opinion one of the most skilled/equipped people of the whole server but it still feels bad.

i wish i could see your gear, shows you as a whm on the lodestone. I mean, im not sure but if he is as geared as you say, depending on the difference he could be pulling around your numbers. do you meet accuracy cap? are you using buffs in between your moves, not all at once?

Drg is not weak. Not knowing the fight mechanic makes is weak. I'm always top dps n my Fc but did t6 a few weeks ago and I was bad. I mean horrible. I think my dps barely pass 200. That was my first attempt on t6. So not knowing what to do in a fight will hurt ur dps. Need to study more in t5 before u call drg us weak

I'm about to switch my main to WHM, sorry. I wanted to look at my gear myself and noticed that I can only see my whm stuff wich is not as close to be good as my DRG.

I never bothered with accurancy caps,tbh I can't even remember when I missed my last attack :P
And yes. I start with internal release, some skills between, and when I'm about to life surge I use bfb before.

And I didn't want to sound rude to the whole DRG Community, I know it's not weak at all but I feel weak.
I know that not knowing the mechanics will hurt the dps. I don't speak on every fight in my matter but only on t5 since it's the only time my dps was called 'weak'

it sounds to me like you are not using the buffs at the right time, and are saving them for certain sitatuions. while their are times when you need burst, you should be using them as soon as they are up, but INBETWEEN every GCD skill. so heavy thrust, internal release, impulse drive, blood for blood etc.. if used just like shown, blood for blood will still be active for the life surge on full thrust. from then on, you use them as soon as they come back, in between skills again. no reason to save them unless you know a huge dps check is coming up in certain fights, and even then, the more you run a fight you will know if they can be up by the time you do need them

[NephilimCanis]

Oh I got the order wrong... I'm using bfb whenever I can of course, but I sometimes save it for the true thrust combo to make sure I have it up when I use life surge on Full Thrust.
Thanks for the help btw

I'm almost certain I've done Titan EX with you, when your DRG was wearing a spring dress.

Anyways, you just need to learn how to adapt the rotation to T5s mechanics, really. Little things like, having dots ticking on twintania, whilst a conflag is up. Before the conflag, being ready to land disembowel straight on it, to go straight into burst mode (fast conflags).

Once you do that, you'll find your DPS won't be low enough to be compared to a PLD. But enjoy your venture on WHM.

Oh yes, I thought I read your name before, that must have been it But it was certainly a while ago, I didn't wear a Spring dress for weeks ^^

Oh to be honest... I mentioned that I never let my dots down but I didn't pay any attention to dots on twin while burning down conflags. That's something I will start to do now for sure!
And thanks a lot, healing is just my thing ^.^
