Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[KidSerge]

oh boy. if nothing else, b4b should be up before the impulse drive combo, and im assuming you are using jumps and internal release somewhere as well..


if you're concerned with your damage, you should really just follow the opening post
HT-IR-ID-BFB-Dis-Sweep-CT-PS-Ph-Jump-TT-VT-LS-FT-HT-TT-VT-Sweep-FT-Ph-ID-Dis-CT-HT-TT-VT-Sweep-FT-Ph-Jump-TT-VT-FT

and then just use buffs as they come up.

just practice it on a striking dummy until its muscle memory. it won't be complicated for to long

Hi pple!

The thread is a little too long to follow. But just what you guys think of this rotation? Seems i'm being out DPS by BLM lower geared than mine.

HT - PH - ID - DIS - CT - BFB - TT - VT - LS - FT - HT - PH - TT - VT - FT - TT - VT - FT

Then follow up with the next set without Blood for blood and life surge till it comes back again

HT - PH - ID - DIS - CT - TT - VT - FT - HT - PH - TT - VT - FT - TT - VT - FT

Is there any way i can improve this further without it getting too complicated?

There's no reason to ever do 3x Full Thrust combos in a row for sustained DPS. You're letting Disembowel and CT fall off for no reason.

Why does everyone think they're reinventing the wheel? Just look at rotation in first post(s).

This and you are also missing Internal Release, or at least you didn't write it in your rotation. Honestly just stick with what has been proven. Once you have that down, then you can adjust and adapt depending on encounter.

This was all really helpful, thanks. My group was telling me "stop trying to do positionals" I can now tell them "stop keeping me from doing them" instead. :3

I guess my first question is, how far into the fight are you getting? If you're only getting part way through your dps is going to rise and fall with the phases.

We're on phase 4. I have cleared with other groups as have many of my static members but our main group has only gotten him to 9%.

Initially when learning the phases, it might be good to do less positionals and sneak in one or two once in a while so that you don't confuse the group while letting them practice and get used to the flow of the mechanics, but once you surpass that there's no reason to maximise damage and time your grouping up just as fire and thunder hits. great to be of help

This is my dragoon BIS, not used much of HA gear tho, but managed to get very low skill speed

ACC 490, CRIT 560, DET 289 and SS 399. For t6-t8, i used risotto, and never missed. For t9 i used lava toad and get my acc to 514 for front hit. What do u guys think ?

just got to t9 this week any advice for the first phase and golem phases?

Do your normal rotation, save a Spineshatter for when Nael jumps to Iron Chariot and don't stack with people for the Thermal split damage. Make sure you know which way you can run ahead of time for the meteor placement, don't get trapped. First phase is more or less training dummy with two slight breaks, just do your thing.

Golems, it depends on your golem order. If you're doing the common method of burning green so it never respawns, use all your CDs initially then save some for the next wave, and the next wave use them initially then save them for hitting Nael post-Heaven's Fall. Save Spineshatter so you can travel to the golem after green smoothly.
