Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[pandabearcat]

Keeping track of tp isn't easy or hard though, its simply, here is a hard cap on your dps.

Trolololol, we'll do this instead of giving you an interesting resource management, and making hitting every GCD the hallmark of a good dps, not "do you have a bard or not".

TP and MP (for non healer) are really keeping the game down.

I mathed it out already. If we're keeping the "same" base rotation of HIDCPTTT, but in-corperating Geirskogul and BotD + 4th tier, using "4th tier" power, which should be 400 potency +, it's a straight 15-20 PPS increase (40-50DPS), even with losing out on 2 GCDs of Disembowel + Heavy Thrust, 2.5 Ticks of Phlebotomize and 1.5 Ticks of Chaos Thrust.

If there's also hidden traits that we don't know about, which extends HT/Disembowel duration, Dragoons DPS is going to be insane. Whatever the outcome will be, you'll be pleased with it.

EDIT: I'm thinking of making the new DRG topic something like "Dragoons Per Second". Something "generic" which would work for 3.0-5.0 etc. Anyone else got ideas?

Dragoons Per Second

That works.

I like the DPS: Dragoons Per Second with a subsection of Dragoons Over Time. Also, they did say they are reworking existing abilities on all classes so a change to the cost or duration of moves like Phleb and HT are plausible expectations, or we can go the wait 2 GCDs/clip 2 GCDs early methods. I look forward to derping around with rotations come HW.

Do that, this thread's OP seems to be long gone.

It's also the Great Wall of China of text by now...

[Dervy]

If only you could use Italics in thread title...

I might use "How to Dragoon per second"

[Jollyy5]

At least 360 Dragoons per hour.

[HeavensSword]

We'll have a lore thread detailing Dragoon History called "Dragoons over Time"

Hold up on the DPS simulator cause dragoon abilities suck, esp Life Surge - nothing else is such an annoying check - anyone know if dots are affected by disembowel?
