Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

Use it before Chaos Thrust, obviously :P.

3 min parse is not long enough. If you want to get a better grip at your dps you should do a 4 min parse, stopping right before your 4th BfB pops.

Anyone notice any funky shenanigans with ACT when parsing? What has happened to me often is that when I end the parse manually (i.e. when I'm dummy parsing), if I close ACT and then open it again with the logfile that was just created, my DPS will have dropped because the encounter time seems to have increased slightly. I think it's related to DoT ticks (I compared the Outgoing Damage sections from before and after and found the only difference was the extra ticks), but this is damned annoying >_>

you can type "/echo end" in chat and it'll end the parse.

EDIT: http://advancedcombattracker.com/faq.php?id=3 here's a list of all of the ACT commands. Replace /act with /echo. I bet 99% of the community doesn't know about this

Oh snap. This is pretty great actually - thanks

Did this earlier today.

My gear. No party, food, pots, or Mercy Stroke.

The thing about dummy parses is that the actual challenge of a DPS class is getting your stuff right when in an actual fight and dealing with mechanics. This is especially important for Dragoons, since, let's face it, the rotation is easy and getting it right on a dummy is just as easy. We should discuss FCoB parses instead

If you can control all the variables, sure.
Do you:
have a ninja in your pt; LB and TA.
have blue orbs, tethers, forked lightning, bluefire, ES, p4 mega, to hold dps, etc.

Duh? Just quote those when you show people the parse.
