Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

Btw. The entire update to warriors. Is that going to chop 30 seconds off of Mercy Stroke in general, or only to Mercy Stroke 'traited' on warrior?

No idea. If traits are awarded at the same level across all classes (I don't know), then there's a reasonable chance that Mercy Stroke will be buffed across the board since SE would have to replace another trait for MRD.

If traits are not awarded at the same levels across all classes, then I'd bet on only MRDs getting the buff via a trait.

Traits are awareded at the same levels across all classes. After level 5~ you get them every 4 levels intersparsed with your normal abilities, which are also 4 levels between each. So every 2 levels it goes Ability -> Trait -> Ability -> Trait until level 50

I see no reason why it shouldn't be buffed across the board, I'm always a big fan of executes.

Though maybe someone can explain why the animation is a hip thrust followed by a big red "axe" flying upwards :<

When we were progressing on T2, the WAR in my FC realized DRGs had Mercy Stroke and started yelling out "HIT HIM WITH YOUR PENIS" in Mumble on every miniADS at 20%. T_T

Its awesome. Much faster and it seems like you are able to move right after the hit (when there is the little backjump part of the animation).

All allagan gear is going to be made ilvl 95... start picking all that up, even if you have myth
haven't looked at rotation times in a while, but if Drg abilities are getting a 10% buff; will fracture still have a spot on a boss rotation? I notice my dots dropping before HT, and even missing FT's HT buff depending on how many ocd abilities I thread into a cycle. taking fracture out may help with that, wondering if anyone else has tested it lately.

Please be very careful in reporting changes until they are 100% confirmed. The translations from Japanese to English can get out of hand, and we are if anything the enemies of misinformation. Whether the upgrade to ilvl95 will occur on gear has yet to be confirmed. The original Japanese comment was made with regards to weapons and not to gear and so we have no concrete information either way. I would also urge the same caution with reporting "10% buffs to all Dragoon abilities!" and other such changes.
