Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[HulveinBlitz]

They specifically stated Ninja was only doing slightly more damage than they'd intended

Exactly. Not sure why there was mass hysteria that ninja would suddenly get abandoned lol.

I came across another DRG in a Satasha HM who claimed Heavy Thrust dropped his DPS by 20% and therefore he never used it. Is there some bizarre misinformation going around? Have I found LOL DRG's king?

[SunnyHirose]

There are a surprising number of people who think "flank" means "back", or that "using" a skill means spamming it without rhyme or reason. Either of those will definitely drop your DPS like a brick.

(Oh boy, I sure can't wait to see all those tanks who'll think it's okay to move all over the place just because we'll be getting Heavy Thrust from the wrong side!)

Anyone else notice the spear class eyesore drawn idle motion?


None of the other polearm types do this. I'd just use those, but spears are the best looking lancer weapons! ;-;

Tomorrow can't come any sooner! The wait is killing me!

Possibly a semi-moot point come tomorrow, but how do some of you DRGs do T11 in final phase? Finally got around to having the (dis)pleasure of going DRG on my alt character FCoB. I basically do HT > P > 123 > 123 for a large portion of the left/right binds, and ID combo > P > 123 > 123 at the rear for group + tank. Any tricks, or do you basically just have to hope you never get tethered?

I'v been in t11 for some kills by now, and basically I'm doing as you'v said. If I'm forced to be in boss flank, I'll keep HT up. Same logic for ID combo. As your party get confortable with the machanics, depending wich tether scenario and strategy, you can risk a little movement to hit flank/back. But I found it too risky (get in the middle of and unavoidable Nerve Gas or get stacks for beeing far/close your tether partner/other tether group) for the bennefits, since you'll only be able to do that once in a while and it won't "fix your rotation" at all.


I'm just resigned with the idea that my DPS will drop if I get the theter and I'll probably end up killing everyone if I try to move. Hope it wont be a major problem by tomorow

well basically when i get tethered with the nin in my group i tell him to hang around the back right foot of boss if its tank/dps if its dps/dps/healer/dps we chill at the back left foot of the boss. I have no problem with HT or ID/DIS/CT combos , u just gottah have that synergy with your other melee your tethered to

We have an assigned spot to deal with. My raid's DPS setup is 2 melees 2 ranged so it's easier to determine chains since if a melee gets 1 it means it will tether another melee, ya know? We marked left as A and right as C because the tethers are literally red and green so you go to whatever color you get. Not getting your positionals / full rotation going sucks but remember that low DPS is better than 2 dead DPS!
