Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[HeavensSword]

So guys here is my rotation - HT-IR-Phl-Legsweep-ID-BFB-DFD-Dis-Spineshatter-ChT-PowerS-Jump-TT-VT-LS-FT after full rotation I go like HT-Phl-TT-VT-FT and after this I go again HT-IR(if is up)-Phl-ID-Dis-ChT-Jump-TT-VT-FT. So please some heavy hitters or anyone who have some idea for improvement can you help? I am thankful for every ideas.

I believe the reasoning behind using Phl after the first IDC combo instead of how you are using it up front is so you have the HT buff and Dis debuff up for the first hit of your Phl. It will also work out so that the duration of Phl will line up nicely with the rest of the rotation, being reapplied after every other combo.

Use Impulse Drive -> Disembowel -> Chaos Thrust after Heavy Thrust in your Opener, rather than Phlebotomise. For your general rotation, just follow this. The Dragoon is pretty simple, but it's very important that you get it down to the letter - Prioritise Disembowel & Chaos Thrust over Phlebotomise.

Read the OP. You are using cooldowns unoptimally and clipping and dropping buffs/DoTs in ways that drop your DPS by several percent compared to the rotation in the OP.

The way my group does it, it's a dance of heading into the stack if I have to get out of the big circles, then back out if I don't have a small circle. It's a little involved, but I have practice at it.

I probably wouldn't have to do that if we had a different plan for baiting the big circles (I've seen some groups stack a melee on MT, and I've seen some groups bait one directly underneath Bahamut--either of these can help make sure one of the sides other than the stack point remains safe).

That's more or less how my group does it. Me and the off tank are on Bahamut's right side, the monk usually sticks to the left side, the black mage, bard and healers are positioned at range behind Bahamut so that any circles wont be on Bahamut's ass/stack point.

Anywho, just saw our first Akh Morn last night, I think we are going to clear this week

what you mean by OP? Original post?

[SunnyHirose]

Yes. First post, first page.

In a sense, this thread is 1 post of guide and 496 pages of hijack.
