Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Peptaru]

This rotation, is this just an opening burst? and how should i follow up with it?

From there, keep up heavy thrust, disembowel, chaos thrust, phlebotomize and use thrusts. offGCD's as they're available unless you need to save them for a mechanic.

Pretty much what Peptaru said. But the actual rotation is

HT - IDC - P - TTT
HT - TTT - P - IDC
HT - TTT - P - TTT

As mentioned in previous posts, nobodies sure if we are able to clip Chaos Thrust in the new patch. Also with jump animation being reduced, using them to avoid clipping CT isn't going to work, so you pretty much have to weave in Fracture now. I've been used to using it at the end of every HT cycle when there is 2-3 seconds left on the Heavy Thrust buff, but I'm sure there's a more optimal location for it.

yeah the potion thing is pretty lame. Also don't forget to throw leg sweep in between gcds. i like Mercy stroke in t4 also, if you have it.

Bumping.

(Was having a hard time looking for this helpful guide, so might as well bump it)

my Rotation and the problems I'm running into.

So I'm running the simple rotation like so

CD 2.46

HT-{BfB}-Fr-{IR}-Ph-ID-Dis-CT-{Sweep}-TT-{PS}-VT-{LS}-FT-HT-Fr-Ph-TT-VT-{Sweep}-FT-ID-Dis-{DfD or SSD}-CT-HT-Fr-Ph-TT-{Sweep}-VT-FT-TT-VT-FT

The Problem I run into with this rotation occurs around the first refresh of CT. one of two things happen.
A:you don't use a filler such as DfD or SSD and the DoT won't refresh due to the previous DoT being buffed
B:you use the filler and occasional the HT buff is so close together with the CT DoT that by the time CT has reapplied HT has fallen off

parsing on the striking dummy with my current gear the dps feels lower then it should be averaging in the 250's - 260 range
a full DL/+1 monk can parse in the area of 280 which just makes me want to slam my head against the desk.

i did some testing, and looks like life surge will make Dragonfire Dive crits on every target it hits, so for AoE damage you can use this to bump your dps

Are you sure man, I've tried doing this before and I noticed that not all enemies were crit, can anybody else verify this?

i mainly tested in WP, in pulls with 5 mobs, and it crited on all mobs. did not done this a lot, a think it was 3~4 times, it could be luck

This is false. It will seems to always crit on the enemy targeted but subsequent enemies it hits can not crit, you might have just had some lucky RNG

That's good to know :O.
