Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

Also every ability snapshots buffs/debuffs.

Phew! Alright, if that's the case then I don't need to switch. I can consistently hit the button for FT before the HT buff runs out, even with Fracture and oGCD abilities. I was just worried about those "- Heavy Thrust ... Full Thrust [Damage]!" messages after I hit the button.

Yeah, HT will come off during the FT, but the buff icon should still be up when you actually hit the FT button

Any plans to update the BiS list to accommodate the allagan spear most likely being best come 2.1?

[Ayvar]

most likely

The operative words in that sentence. Let's wait to see the stats.

But yes, it will get updated if the T5 spear is better (which it most likely will be).

I hope the revised list alows for more Wyrm armor, it looks so good with the spear.

Yeah, I'm interested to see the stats on it, personally.

[ServerCollaps]

since its only a 5 ilvl increase its stats should be very close to:

47 Dmg, 33 Str, 37/38 Vit, 28 Det, 27/28 SS

instead of the current

46, 31, 35, 26, 26

So the patch notes are out, and here's what we're looking at for DRG changes:

• Heavy Thrust buff from 10% damage bonus to 15%
• Phlebotomize DoT potency up from 20 to 25
• Chaos Thrust combo potency up from 160 to 200
• Chaos Thrust DoT potency up from 20 to 30
• Power Surge recast down from 90 to 60 seconds
• Animation lock shortened on Jump, Spineshatter Dive and Dragonfire Dive
• Internal Release crit rate down from 20% to 10%

• It's possible Chaos Thrust will reapply even with a lower potency. Patch notes aren't clear on that.
• JP notes list a Full Thrust potency increase from 300 to 330.

• (Blood for Blood has a cross-class nerf but our trait negates that)
• Power Surge recast down from 90 to 60 seconds
• Animation lock shortened on Jump, Spineshatter Dive and Dragonfire Dive
• Internal Release crit rate down from 20% to 10%

Honestly, the only thing "bad" here is IR, and with all the buffs its probably not going to matter much (except now my Jump won't crit as much )

CT will become even more important to not clip (and now may be viable in short fights just thanks to that 200 potency), Phem is now even more useful than Fracture, HT gives another 5% damage...

Not going to see any 1500 damage FTs though

The Dragoon changes are all around positive, cept for the loss of 10% from IR.

Any idea of how our buffs compare to monks?
