Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Ozpa]

Hi guys, I have a noobish Lancer/Dragoon question about low lvl dps. I'm a new 21lvl Lancer and I wanted to know if I play the early levels right.

When I have a tank or the mob is attacking someone else I always try to have my Heavy Thrust buff up and just spam Impulse Drive (with Leg Sweeps and Life Surge whenever I notice I can use them inbetween).
When the mob faces me I just spam True and Vorpal Thrusts. I don't really see see any other combinations for max damage at the moment.

P.S. does my Limit Break gets buffed by Life Surge and Heavy Thrust?

Havent actually done any theorycrafting on limit break myself. I've never noticed a crit, i have noticed its damage go up over time as ive geared up, although not a huge amount. I've never noticed its damage to be higher from blood for blood, it definitely has variance, so proving it is effected by heavy thrust would take quite a few test on the same mob.

LB is scaled on the global "gearing" of the group. Its not only your and it's indeed influenced by dps buffs.

Otherwise guys, don't have the courage to read the 33 pages, I dont have the possibility to do Coils for now and just wanted to know : should I change my DL accessories and take crafted ones to gain dps ? if yes, which ones ?

[xyaie]

My LB (half dl and +1 relic) and the other dragoon (ifrit weapon, whites and greens) had a variance of about 18%

Some of the groups that are currently working on turn 5 do actually run with a DRG. I don't see an issue here.

I've had the opposite experience, I'm consistently top dmg in my coil group, including turn 4 with all the AoE. (That surprised me more than anything.) Dragoons are a very strong job all around.

I run coil turn 1-5 as DRG. There is no issue with it ^^ But pickup groups like to stack classes they see in videos, so... yeah, i think it could be hard to find a group lol.

Btw, is 470+ needed for Turn 4 / 500+ accuracy really needed for turn 5 ? :/
