Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[whiskeybravo]

Just out of curiosity, where do you guys use your Leg Sweep in your rotation?

I put mine in between Disembowel and Chaos Thrust to cut the animation since DS is such a long animation.

It's usually one of the last oGCD abilites I use. This is mainly due to how I have the controller set up, IDC combo is on the left side so I use the left side buffs first, leg sweep is on the right side, so I usually throw it in during TTT or Ph <LS> TTT.

Ummm, it depends.

Most of the time it's right between True Thrust and Vorpal Thrust. The other occasions, it's the same as yours.

Right before Phlem. Every time. Helps to keep track of whether I'm using HT or Phlem in the combo too

[Dervy]

I use it before Plebotomize.

I didn't want to create a new thread so I'm going to ask it here and hopefully get some answers. I finally got started on playing a LNC. And at lvl 15, I have access to the True Thrust combo, and Impulse Drive.
In terms maximum DPS at that lvl, would be more effective to go,
HT-ID-ID-ID-ID

Or

HT-TT-VT-TT-VT

I'm only thinking about this through potency since I don't have actual numbers to work with. At this lvl, I get ID which has a potency of 180 from behind, TT(100), VT(200 comboed).

So for every two GCD, I get 360 Potency from ID, whereas the VT-TT combo only gives me 300.

So would it better to go with ID or TT-VT for maximum dmg? (This is my real question)

It's actually 150 potency on TT, so TT -> VT is 350 Potency or 175 average potency. ID is 180 potency. While it is indeed a DPS increase to spam ID, the gains are minimal and the penalty for missing even one ID's rear bonus negates the benefits of the whole encounter usually. The best thing to increase your DPS at that low level is CC Fracture and use it liberally.

TT is 150 potency, not 100.
That leaves us with 350 potency, which is still 10 potency lower than ID spam. So yes it is slightly more dps to use ID. However keep in mind that missing only one ID completely plummets your dps and its also slightly more TP consuming.

Alright thanks a lot guys. Trying to learn DRG as best as I can at a lower lvl and work from there so I can have a better understand of future rotations.

I didn't think about "missing that one rear bonus decreasing my dps scenario."

Thanks again!

Well if IR + BB is up it is the following:

(HT + IR + ID + B4B + DS + LEG SWEEP + CT + PS + PHLEB + JUMP + TT + VT + LS + FT + HT + TT +VT + LEG SWEEP + FT + PHLEB) and here is where my DS and
CT have around 6 seconds or so left so i start from the beginning
