Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dervy]

Does LS actually come cleanly off cd for the FT with this? o.0

I assume the first LS is a legsweep. It's smart how Spayd does it; there's an additional leg sweep there in a shorter time frame and one is still huffed by BFB... as long as he isn't clipping GDCs.

And it should come off cleanly, just a tiny bit oGDC management by the second Life Surge fixes it.

Also if anyone wants to try my new opener, it's:

HT - (IR+PS) - ID - (X-Pot) - DI - (delayed BFB) - CT - (jump) - PH - (leg sweep) - TTT combo and weave my other jumps and Life Surge.

Yeah sorry for the LS confusion, first Ls is indeed Legsweep. Edited. I'll try your opener in a few and compare it to mine to tell you if its an improvement.

EDIT: Also, what I like from my opener is that even if for the first FT there's a Life surge, for the next one where FT isn't life surged, Internal Release is still up there to give it a chance to crit. Small details that can make some difference.

You'd only need to remeld the remaining 4 accuracy. It's cheap, only 4 Accuracy I's lol. - though you'd need to buy another Sphere Scroll with Soldierys, and get 4 Alexandrites again. I'm currently in the process of removing 18 accuracy from my Relic, but I'm going to do it in chunks, as the Soldiery Cost to keep buying new Sphere Scroll is gunna be pretty bi g:P

I see, you'r going to try every value of Accuracy in this gap. But, if it's possible to adjust some materia, I think I'll go for 14 Acc and Finish my Animus at all, as I have already all the Alexandrites, and the only thing holding me is the expansive Crit/Det IV's. I have the Dreadwyrm already, so I'm not IN NEED of the Zeta. This way, I can at least end the Relic/Zodiac Quests. Once I have my Zeta, I'll re-meld that over accuracy into Det/crit again, and maybe leave some Accuracy :P

By the way, is there some value between 1~14 that I could help you with your researches?

I can do it on PS4, but it all depends on getting that timing right on BFB.

As Derv said, takes practice to know when to hit it.

What should my dps look like at i113 with nexus weapon? http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/Q1JY Currently i do around 485-500 with party buff. It tends to dip below 500 unless that is normal. Thanks!

[Dervy]

Perfectly normal. And I assume that's with a 3 minute parse, ye?

Yes it is. Sorry, forgot to mention that. I guess i will work on my rotation more and see if i can improve. Thank you.

So as a new Dragoon, now level 46, I have been using the rotation in the OP, though not yet with every ability until 50, so subbing. Then just a bit ago I came across this video on Youtube with a different rotation saying it is superior to the one in this thread due to the Dragoon changes that came with 2.45. At 4:24 in the video he goes into the new rotation. I'm lost as to what rotation I should be using exactly for optimum dps, assuming level 50.

Well, the OP hasn't been updated in forever, because the poster has disappeared. The video you link is by Dervy (which is a fairly unique username, so I'm assuming no shenanigans), who's been volunteered to post a new OP when the expansion launches. Knowing nothing else about DRG, I'd say go with the video.
